Does anybody else catch the irony that, on the very last game of a career defined by him backstopping a team incapable of scoring, his teammates put up 10 goals?
Them putting up 10 in a meaningless game where the Panthers were resting all their best players for Price's final game is weirdly fitting, but I am glad they could get one last good game in for Carey...
@@willd1790 He probably would have been a very good GM even as a rookie GM, but would he have built a cup winning team, over let's assume over the same amount of time Marc Bergevin was? Your guess is as good as mine.
As a montrealer, I remember mid 2010s Carey Price being special. Not just in his stats, not just in the way he played, but also in the way people would talk about him, almost as if he was a sacred idol. Playing goalie in the streets and you made a big save? Carey Price. He was the heart and soul of the organization, of the city, of the province for years and I so wish he had gotten that cup in 2021. Not to see my habs win, to see Carey win. The same way he was compared to Dryden and Roy, Habs goalies will now be compared to Price. Even though I understood his reasons, I was heartbroken when he announced he would be stepping away. Every time he stops by the Bell Centre for ceremonial purposes, I don't think there's a dry eye in the building. We miss Carey, and we'll forever love him.
@@jdbankshotokay? a goalie on his own can’t win a stanley cup. a young kobe can get carried to a three peat by shaq. comparing a superstar goalie in any sport to a superstar basketball player isn’t possible.
Even more so than King Henrik, I feel for Carey price. He deserved a cup, and the Habs failed him time after time. This man put the team on his back year after year, and the meager supporting cast always let him down. What a shame
Beyond that, the fans often failed him too. There are still French Canadians TO THIS DAY who say "Carey Price never won anything". In the face of facts, in the face of stats, they're immovable in their rejection of him. And they're not a loud minority. There are actually quite many of them. Mostly French-Canadians, as I haven't met a whole lot of Anglophone Habs fans who don't absolutely adore Carey. And he's had to deal with that his entire career. Even after his absolutely sensational run in 2021. Marc Bergevin set Carey up. He gave him an absolutely ridiculous contract that never should have been, and he failed repeatedly to help him out by building an actual team around him. Marc Bergevin failed Carey, and he failed the Montreal fans he was always so condescending toward. My greatest regret is that Carey never wona Cup with us, or at all. I hoope he can stay close to the organization and some day have his name carved into Lord Stanley's Cup. He deserves it more than any other goalie I know.
I mean im french canadian and Carey is easily the best goalie to ever wear a pair of skates… bit of a hot take imho, we used to call him Jesus Price ffs and he was treated like royalty in our city
Nope. You heard the video. The canadiens never focused on defense. The Canadiens were scoring at a higher rate than the Rangers in those days, but still couldn’t win. Meanwhile, Rangers fans were begging for a team that could consistently score 2 goals a game, because we knew Hank would give up only 1 if he gave up any at all.
I was lucky enough to have a private meet and greet with Carey November 2023. I owned one of his last ever jerseys he wore. I was going to have him sign it, but I asked him if he had any of his last ever worn jerseys. I was saddened to hear he did not. I gave him his jersey he wore in 2022 against Philly. He was moved and genuinely surprised someone would offer something like that to him with no strings. Guy could flat out play. Had it not been for injuries, he could have played to almost 40 and dominate. Suck a good piece that has been created. Everyone who doubted the kid and tore him down should watch this. Montreal had something special. He will be first ballot hall of fame! I truly feel if the Bell Center could have been filled to capacity against the Lightning, the series could have been different.
Had a private meet with Carey back around 2012 or so. He's a great guy. Unfortunate that his knee could not be rehabilitated. It must be tough pill to swallow not being to win the Cup while still playing.
Just to add something about how magical that final 10-2 game against the pathers was. The game was played on April 29th, and Guy Lafleur had died exactly a week earlier, on April 22nd. It was Guy Lafleur bobblehead night the the Bell Centre, something that had been planned long before Lafleur's death. The team scored 10 goals that night, and Lafleur wore #10. Chants of "Guy! Guy! Guy!" filled the arena as Price played his final game. The ghosts of the Forum were in the building.

Burgervan and Gainey were both terrible at their jobs. Imagine if they had started a rebuild, right after the Koivu era, instead of wasting money on piecing a team together with free agents. What kind of team could we have seen Carey with in his prime? It's a damn shame.
Thank you for this video. Carey Price in the olympics was the reason I became a goalie. Once I lost my game I and failed my hockey career, I dealt with substance use issues. I got help. Carey Price changed my life
Carey and PK were my favorite players growing up as a kid. I stopped watching in my early teens, but that 2021 run brought me back to the game. My dad and i watched every gane of those playoffs together, and ever since my love for the habs has come back. I love you carey!
The level of dedication and depth that you go to with these videos is unparalleled in the Hockey sphere. As someone from the UK, I am ravenous for hockey history and hockey insight since I never had any exposure to the game growing up. Channels like this really help me feel like I can still learn about the NHL and its history. Such great channel, so glad I found it. Keep up the amazing work bud!
if you have heard of him already “the hockey guy” has tons of hockey history videos even a series going year by year. i suggest checking out his playlists
Since I started watching hockey in 2004, the best player I ever saw play hockey was 2021 playoff Carey Price. Thanks for this great video, his legend deserves it. Cheers!
Been asking for this exact video for a while, extremely excited that you actually made it! Edit: Holy christ this is a good video. I don’t think we ever truly appreciated Price for what he did for us while he was here. Made huge saves, stole the show more times than I can count, and he was the backbone of our team for YEARS. If he doesn’t get his number retired, I doubt there will be a soul brave enough to wear it.
As a Habs fan and native Montrealer, this city loves Carey and the sacrifices he made for the team. A damn shame that the habs never gave him a proper team, but despite it all he was loyal to the city and the fans. We wish him the best with whatever he chooses to do next.
Thats fake my Guy 90% of mtl/habs fan hate Price 95% of french fans hate Price too for majority of habs and mtl fans Price was nothings and je was the trouble in the team but for some ppl fan of this team je was the greatest goalie ever and in the league fans/players/etc he was the best irs just at mtl Who ppl hate im
@@boudzx4105 completely false Price is loved across the board in Montreal what people didn’t like was his crazy contract but I haven’t met 1 person who told me they didn’t like Price in 20 years.
As a fellow Williams Laker, watching him get injured in the 2014 conference finals was brutal. Im not even a habs fan but that should've been his year. Waiting 7 years to see him go that far again was a long time to wait but when he came back in 2021 the whole nation was on his side. To see him hoist the cup would've been a dream come true for everyone back home. Even though it didn't come to fruition...he will still remain a legend for life.
As a MASSIVE hockey fan, and an even bigger Jon Bois fan, thank you so much for this video. The production style, the storytelling, the sometimes unhinged jokes, i seriously love it all. Not very many people can tell me stories I've already heard and keep me engrossed in a 45 minute video but this did it as well as anything. PLEASE keep making videos like this it is my sustenance.
Price means the absolute world to me!!! Guy is just so laid back and calm off the ice and never quit on the ice. The canadiens will never be the same again without him playing
sometimes i wake up and get sad knowing he’ll never get a cup. this video is a great tribute to the player who defined my love of hockey from my childhood to my adolescence. thank you.
I’m pretty young compared to a lot of your demographic, but i grew up on watching Price and sobbed when he left. I wish they’d won in 2021 if only for him
no doubt, the ABSOLUTE BEST hockey video i've seen and i'm 46!! stats, history, just the good amout of humour. Understanding and explaining at perfection the unique montreal market and an stellar narrative. Thank you!!!
Carey Price didn't win the Stanley Cup in 2021, he won something that no other Montreal Canadiens goalie ever did or ever will again... The Clarence Campbell Bowl. That's automatic legend status in my book.
Growing up a massive habs fan in the Carey Price era he will probably be my favourite player forever and I don't think I'll ever see a more reliable and impactful goalie on a team I cheer for
I don’t care about hockey, but this… this video gave me goosebumps. Might seem like a standard comment but it ain’t often you get so emotional about something you don’t give a flying f*ck. Great great work man, keep it up.
This has to be atleast on of the best hockey player documents ever produced. I can't even imagine how many hours of research went into this. Well done, marvelously done! I'm a neutral NHL fan as I'm from Europe. I don't have ties to any NHL city or franchise so Carey Price never was anything special to me even though I could never question his skill or greatness and this video still felt somehow special to me. There still is one Habs goalie who has always been special to me. He played for the Canadiens when I started to watch and follow hockey during the early years of the 90s. Patrick Roy was always my favourite and will always be. I would love, totally love, a video like this about him even though I know his career pretty well already. Pinholes Graham is the one man who could make a 45 minute video about Roy, about his career and how he was/is as a person. I wish I could see that someday.
The music behind this video is top tier, helps bring it all together. My personal favorite was the final feather act, and the ending credits. Well done, as usual.
Glad you think so lol, I threw the music together in about an hour because I was in a rush, so I was worried it would be the weak point, but I guess not!
This made me cry and reminisce about his entire journey (and my childhood)! Thank you for creating this. Undoubtedly, it's the best tribute to Carey Price.
The 2014 playoffs give me the vibe of a Urinatingtree quote "We have found the only way to stop a brick wall in net is to have an even thicker brick wall" (referring to the preds 2017 playoff run) Like Price was great but there are very few goalies who could have outdueled prime King Henrik
I really love this video. As a Habs fan who only started watching hockey last season, I love hearing the tales of players from the past. I wish I could have watched Carey play, but I also accept that he has done his time and deserves a break. I just wish the team could have performed to his level.
I always had to reconcile being a Bruins fan and owning Price as my dynasty keeper league goaltender during his prime. Hate the Habs but will always appreciate Price.
Love the content! If I may just make a small suggestion: adding a column with the final score when showing playoffs series stats would add a lot of value / context to the information conveyed. It's almost impossible to know who won a game when only showing goalie stats, unless sv% = 1.000 ; ) Anyways, very good stuff!!
Another amazing video, your production and writing ability continue to grow with each of these I watch. It's a great testament to the strengths of these videos that long-time viewers (myself) and those who don't follow the sport (some of my friends) are both routinely captivated by these videos whenever we watch them. I'm always looking forward to see what's next, as the passion behind these videos is truly there.
I remember being in the 7th grade and having to do a report on a canadian hero. Without a shadow of a doubt Price was the guy who came to mind. I wish hed come back to play 1 more season. But im content with him being the greatest goalie ive ever seen on the ice.
man, im a sens fan and watching this brought back so many memories. tearing up ngl, Price, Lundqvist, Holtby, Quick, Crawford, late stage Luongo, Rask, Rinne, Thomas, so many heroes of the 2010s man (shout Craig Anderson)
Carey Price is the reason I love hockey. I’ve been a generational Habs fan but I came of age during the mid 2010s and the 2014 playoff run until the Kreider incident will always be some of my most cherished memories. A lot of my friends are die hard leaf or bruins fans but back then even they could admit that we had the very best between the pipes. Had he been on basically any other team in those years he could have won the cup. He will go down as one of the greats. I wish he could have won it for us habs faithful so much, but I wish he could have won it for him even more.
It doesn’t get better then 2015 Carey. Growing up a goalie in Montreal everyone wanted to be like him. He’s an Montrealers idol. This video took me back to being a 5 year old kid with my dad at the Bell Center. Great vid man and thanks for the memories!
I remember being in a Cage aux Sports to watch a playoff game in the 2010 playoffs, and I had my Carey Price jersey on. I was getting plenty of hostility from habs fans around me. As if wearing a Price jersey instead of a Halak jersey was sacrilegious. I never doubted that Price was the guy. On a side note, that Kreider slide to Price's knee will haunt me forever. Habs would have faced the 8th seed LA kings in the finals. It was the year to win it all.
im a habs fan from hamilton. some of my earlyist memories is following that calder run in the hamilton spec. carey price was the goalie of my favourite team for most of my childhood. i dont think ive ever cried while watching a hockey youtube video before. thank you
Keep in mind that his father flew him to practice even during winter storms. Carey price said that when he traveled with the team, he found it very funny when he saw his teammates getting nervous because of turbulences.
The Habs never had a 80pts scorer all those year. INSANE, he never had any offence what if he played for the Penguins would he have been as good as when he won gold? We will never know sadly. Great video! Love it
As a québécois, I can say that the historical / cultural point of view on the team was spot on, the expression “Sainte Flanelle” and the saint trinity of Richard, Beliveau and Lafleur says it all, this team has a very rare and special cultural dimension that you rarely find elsewhere

29:05 had me wheezing. From a fellow English major (and Habs fan since 2018, when my teammates took me to a game in the Bell Centre - my first non-Sharks NHL game, which definitely left an impression) thank you for this beautiful stastical fable.
Amazing video, he was The goalie to look up to. People often mention about his ability in the net but his ability to retrieve the puck in the zone and make the 1st pass to his Defense. The guy was stellar at it... heck I remember one time he even aimed at a camera in a practice to show how mad he was about the medias. Hockey was breathing through him. He's the greatest goalie in NHL history hands down even without a stanley cup.
Long form TH-cam content adds so much value - this is amazing, well done. Also, I feel bad for Price - he deserved a better team, especially in scoring (and I'm a Habs fan). That said, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6/7 was our collective Stanley Cup!
Check out Jon Bois at SB Nation! he sadly doesn't do hockey content but that's the style this channel emulates and he uses it to tell some of the best stories in sports history I think you'll love it as a fellow long form sports content enjoyer
Carey Price is the most talented, instinctive goalie I've seen - and I've watched a lot of hockey. So mechanically crisp that he's almost a robot, and he also has whatever Hasek gene that lets you predict the future when you're out of position.
This is one of the best hockey videos i’ve ever seen. The editing reminds me of a secret base video, and the overall lesson/moral you were able to find is truly incredible! I can’t wait to watch some more videos!
oh yeah this kid is destined for hundreds of thousands of subs. excellent presentation. nice voice to listen to too, once you get some more traction it's gonna take off. calling it now.
As always you make amazing hockey content keep up the great work Graham. gonna go watch that 2021 playoff run now even though I'm not a Habs fan I can't help being a Price fan. God Bless Goalies
Another great video by you. I don’t know if you take suggestions but I’d like you to cover the Avs vs Stars rivalry WCF in either 99 or 2000 since I felt like below the Avs vs Wings rivalry, it was the Stars vs Avs rivalry which caused Dallas to go back to back to the final.

@@DirtyDan77 2014 was the year i felt they had their best team and even then he was patching together the team with cheap glue
@@Jbonethekid Desharnais as the top C, I always cringe at that :(
we know today that bergevin was a puppet and did nothing really. It was Molson that tried to be the hero and he's a fucking tool
@@DirtyDan77 Gainey was good
Being a Montrealer and a life long Carey Price fan, this video is a gift. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. Carey Price in the olympics was the reason I became a goalie. Once I lost my game I and failed my hockey career, I dealt with substance use issues. I got help.
Carey Price changed my life
Carey and PK were my favorite players growing up as a kid. I stopped watching in my early teens, but that 2021 run brought me back to the game. My dad and i watched every gane of those playoffs together, and ever since my love for the habs has come back. I love you carey!
It was a great run
If jon wont give us a hockey dorktown, this is the next best thing. Great video man, keep it up. The effort shows!
The level of dedication and depth that you go to with these videos is unparalleled in the Hockey sphere.
As someone from the UK, I am ravenous for hockey history and hockey insight since I never had any exposure to the game growing up. Channels like this really help me feel like I can still learn about the NHL and its history.
Such great channel, so glad I found it. Keep up the amazing work bud!
if you have heard of him already “the hockey guy” has tons of hockey history videos even a series going year by year. i suggest checking out his playlists
i've been dying for a jon bois type documentary but for hockey, so glad this guy is actually doing it
Since I started watching hockey in 2004, the best player I ever saw play hockey was 2021 playoff Carey Price. Thanks for this great video, his legend deserves it. Cheers!
damn pinholes graham got me tearing up at the end of this !! what an excellent tribute to an amazing human
YES! Price is my favorite NHL player ever!!!! Caarey! Caarey! Caaaarey!
Been asking for this exact video for a while, extremely excited that you actually made it!
Edit: Holy christ this is a good video. I don’t think we ever truly appreciated Price for what he did for us while he was here. Made huge saves, stole the show more times than I can count, and he was the backbone of our team for YEARS. If he doesn’t get his number retired, I doubt there will be a soul brave enough to wear it.
As a Habs fan and native Montrealer, this city loves Carey and the sacrifices he made for the team. A damn shame that the habs never gave him a proper team, but despite it all he was loyal to the city and the fans. We wish him the best with whatever he chooses to do next.
Thats fake my Guy 90% of mtl/habs fan hate Price 95% of french fans hate Price too for majority of habs and mtl fans Price was nothings and je was the trouble in the team but for some ppl fan of this team je was the greatest goalie ever and in the league fans/players/etc he was the best irs just at mtl Who ppl hate im
Him*
@@boudzx4105 you're such a clown. You have no idea what you're talking about. Just say you don't like him
@@boudzx4105 completely false Price is loved across the board in Montreal what people didn’t like was his crazy contract but I haven’t met 1 person who told me they didn’t like Price in 20 years.
@@boudzx4105you are clueless and obviously never talked to us
As a fellow Williams Laker, watching him get injured in the 2014 conference finals was brutal. Im not even a habs fan but that should've been his year. Waiting 7 years to see him go that far again was a long time to wait but when he came back in 2021 the whole nation was on his side. To see him hoist the cup would've been a dream come true for everyone back home. Even though it didn't come to fruition...he will still remain a legend for life.
BABE WAKE UP NEW PINHOLES GRAHAM VIDEO
Bro I’m tired, come back to bed dawg.
He was special 🥲
He is special
He will forever be special
Carey Price is one of the greats

As a MASSIVE hockey fan, and an even bigger Jon Bois fan, thank you so much for this video. The production style, the storytelling, the sometimes unhinged jokes, i seriously love it all. Not very many people can tell me stories I've already heard and keep me engrossed in a 45 minute video but this did it as well as anything. PLEASE keep making videos like this it is my sustenance.
Price means the absolute world to me!!! Guy is just so laid back and calm off the ice and never quit on the ice. The canadiens will never be the same again without him playing
sometimes i wake up and get sad knowing he’ll never get a cup. this video is a great tribute to the player who defined my love of hockey from my childhood to my adolescence. thank you.
I’m pretty young compared to a lot of your demographic, but i grew up on watching Price and sobbed when he left. I wish they’d won in 2021 if only for him
no doubt, the ABSOLUTE BEST hockey video i've seen and i'm 46!! stats, history, just the good amout of humour. Understanding and explaining at perfection the unique montreal market and an stellar narrative. Thank you!!!
Carey Price didn't win the Stanley Cup in 2021, he won something that no other Montreal Canadiens goalie ever did or ever will again... The Clarence Campbell Bowl.
That's automatic legend status in my book.
Growing up a massive habs fan in the Carey Price era he will probably be my favourite player forever and I don't think I'll ever see a more reliable and impactful goalie on a team I cheer for
I didn’t have “video about Carey Price makes me cry” on my bingo card for today, but here we are
I don’t care about hockey, but this… this video gave me goosebumps.
Might seem like a standard comment but it ain’t often you get so emotional about something you don’t give a flying f*ck.
Great great work man, keep it up.
This has to be atleast on of the best hockey player documents ever produced. I can't even imagine how many hours of research went into this. Well done, marvelously done!
I'm a neutral NHL fan as I'm from Europe. I don't have ties to any NHL city or franchise so Carey Price never was anything special to me even though I could never question his skill or greatness and this video still felt somehow special to me. There still is one Habs goalie who has always been special to me. He played for the Canadiens when I started to watch and follow hockey during the early years of the 90s. Patrick Roy was always my favourite and will always be. I would love, totally love, a video like this about him even though I know his career pretty well already.
Pinholes Graham is the one man who could make a 45 minute video about Roy, about his career and how he was/is as a person. I wish I could see that someday.
Very honored to watch price growing up, he is the reason why I’m a Canadiens fan. Thank you Carey!
His 2014 series against the bruins was the best I’ve ever seen a goalie play.
You must have missed Halak against Pittsburgh and Washington
The music behind this video is top tier, helps bring it all together. My personal favorite was the final feather act, and the ending credits. Well done, as usual.
Glad you think so lol, I threw the music together in about an hour because I was in a rush, so I was worried it would be the weak point, but I guess not!
Another banger video by The Great Pinholio!
"New England, the land of getting out of your car and gesticulating aggressively."
Can confirm. Absolute poetry.
i like this video. as a lifetime habs fan, price has always been my favourite hockey player ever
This made me cry and reminisce about his entire journey (and my childhood)! Thank you for creating this. Undoubtedly, it's the best tribute to Carey Price.
These videos are legitimately some of the best hockey content on youtube
this might be the greatest video i’ve ever watched
A very nice tribute to one of the greatest goalies I will ever watch in my lifetime. Even though he caused nightmares for my Senators constantly.
At 25:48 ish, you've posted the list of Goalie Hart trophy winners, I think you forgot that Jose theodore won it in 2002?
The 2014 playoffs give me the vibe of a Urinatingtree quote
"We have found the only way to stop a brick wall in net is to have an even thicker brick wall" (referring to the preds 2017 playoff run)
Like Price was great but there are very few goalies who could have outdueled prime King Henrik
I really love this video. As a Habs fan who only started watching hockey last season, I love hearing the tales of players from the past. I wish I could have watched Carey play, but I also accept that he has done his time and deserves a break. I just wish the team could have performed to his level.
im freaking sobbing rn man
hands down the best hockey channel around
I always had to reconcile being a Bruins fan and owning Price as my dynasty keeper league goaltender during his prime. Hate the Habs but will always appreciate Price.
Holy shit that has to be the best hockey video I ever saw!! Amazing job man, keep up the good work!
Love the content!
If I may just make a small suggestion: adding a column with the final score when showing playoffs series stats would add a lot of value / context to the information conveyed. It's almost impossible to know who won a game when only showing goalie stats, unless sv% = 1.000 ; )
Anyways, very good stuff!!
Price was truly a force to behold on the ice. That covid year run was magical as well. All things considered.
It’s amazing how much of an impact Jon Bois has had on youtube sports content. Love the inspiration!
Great video and super storytelling. Those of us who remember the Habs of the late 60's through the 80's came alive again in the Price period.
A superb documentary on the career of Carey Price. Good work as always PHG.
Incredible. Going to dive into your lore throughout the weekend, insane quality.
This is well edited hopefully it gets more attention because you deserve it!
Another amazing video, your production and writing ability continue to grow with each of these I watch. It's a great testament to the strengths of these videos that long-time viewers (myself) and those who don't follow the sport (some of my friends) are both routinely captivated by these videos whenever we watch them. I'm always looking forward to see what's next, as the passion behind these videos is truly there.
This may be my favorite comment ever! 😁
I'm so glad you and yours hold it in such high regard and I'll continue to do my best :)
I remember being in the 7th grade and having to do a report on a canadian hero. Without a shadow of a doubt Price was the guy who came to mind. I wish hed come back to play 1 more season. But im content with him being the greatest goalie ive ever seen on the ice.
As long as you post a new video I’m gonna keep on watchin em keep it up 👍
man, im a sens fan and watching this brought back so many memories. tearing up ngl, Price, Lundqvist, Holtby, Quick, Crawford, late stage Luongo, Rask, Rinne, Thomas, so many heroes of the 2010s man (shout Craig Anderson)
Carey Price is the reason I love hockey. I’ve been a generational Habs fan but I came of age during the mid 2010s and the 2014 playoff run until the Kreider incident will always be some of my most cherished memories. A lot of my friends are die hard leaf or bruins fans but back then even they could admit that we had the very best between the pipes. Had he been on basically any other team in those years he could have won the cup. He will go down as one of the greats. I wish he could have won it for us habs faithful so much, but I wish he could have won it for him even more.
HOW DO YOU ONLY HAVE 11K SUBS WTF YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 70K
It doesn’t get better then 2015 Carey. Growing up a goalie in Montreal everyone wanted to be like him. He’s an Montrealers idol. This video took me back to being a 5 year old kid with my dad at the Bell Center. Great vid man and thanks for the memories!
In my 24 years of life I think this stands alone as the greatest TH-cam video I've ever watched.
Your Jon Bois inspired storytelling and editing have me very fascinated with hockey. Great video!
Keep this this up stud, love the style. Carey is a A1 habs legend. The habs have a mount rushmore of goalies and hes on it
I remember being in a Cage aux Sports to watch a playoff game in the 2010 playoffs, and I had my Carey Price jersey on. I was getting plenty of hostility from habs fans around me. As if wearing a Price jersey instead of a Halak jersey was sacrilegious. I never doubted that Price was the guy. On a side note, that Kreider slide to Price's knee will haunt me forever. Habs would have faced the 8th seed LA kings in the finals. It was the year to win it all.
im just finding this account but this is the greatest channel on youtube. thankyou pinholes graham
this is fantastic, really well made!
im a habs fan from hamilton. some of my earlyist memories is following that calder run in the hamilton spec. carey price was the goalie of my favourite team for most of my childhood. i dont think ive ever cried while watching a hockey youtube video before. thank you
This video is absolutely beautiful. As a habs fan, I am amazed. THANK YOU
Keep in mind that his father flew him to practice even during winter storms. Carey price said that when he traveled with the team, he found it very funny when he saw his teammates getting nervous because of turbulences.
Another Masterpiece!!!
You deserve SOOO many more subs and views man your content is incredible!! Keep up the work bro!!
Keep liking, commenting, and sharing and hopefully the algorithm does the rest
This is the first of your videos I’ve come across, and just like that, I’ll be binging your channel. This was incredible man.
Any chance at a Hasek video? New subscriber cause of this video :)
The Habs never had a 80pts scorer all those year. INSANE, he never had any offence what if he played for the Penguins would he have been as good as when he won gold? We will never know sadly.
Great video! Love it
As a québécois, I can say that the historical / cultural point of view on the team was spot on, the expression “Sainte Flanelle” and the saint trinity of Richard, Beliveau and Lafleur says it all, this team has a very rare and special cultural dimension that you rarely find elsewhere

Ridiculously formidable work on that video and everything behind it🎉🎉❤
Thanks to you and thank you Mr. Price for all the memories
Absolutely phenomenonal video. I'm not even a Habs fan and this made me want to root for them.
it’s like a jon bois video, it’s beautiful.
What an incredible love letter to maybe the best goalie of the 2010s. Well done
Incredible video, keep it up! Cheers from a hockey fan in New Zealand
29:05 had me wheezing. From a fellow English major (and Habs fan since 2018, when my teammates took me to a game in the Bell Centre - my first non-Sharks NHL game, which definitely left an impression) thank you for this beautiful stastical fable.
Amazing video, he was The goalie to look up to. People often mention about his ability in the net but his ability to retrieve the puck in the zone and make the 1st pass to his Defense. The guy was stellar at it... heck I remember one time he even aimed at a camera in a practice to show how mad he was about the medias. Hockey was breathing through him. He's the greatest goalie in NHL history hands down even without a stanley cup.
This is among the best content on the site
Thanks!
No, thank YOU for watching! :)
You've got amazing quality content. You'll blow up sooner or later bud. Just glad to see it early!
Long form TH-cam content adds so much value - this is amazing, well done. Also, I feel bad for Price - he deserved a better team, especially in scoring (and I'm a Habs fan). That said, beating the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6/7 was our collective Stanley Cup!
Check out Jon Bois at SB Nation! he sadly doesn't do hockey content but that's the style this channel emulates and he uses it to tell some of the best stories in sports history
I think you'll love it as a fellow long form sports content enjoyer
Great video....first time watching your vids....but ...being a Leafs fan....you could have edited out the 2021 season....just a thought
Carey Price is the most talented, instinctive goalie I've seen - and I've watched a lot of hockey. So mechanically crisp that he's almost a robot, and he also has whatever Hasek gene that lets you predict the future when you're out of position.
This is one of the best hockey videos i’ve ever seen. The editing reminds me of a secret base video, and the overall lesson/moral you were able to find is truly incredible! I can’t wait to watch some more videos!
oh yeah this kid is destined for hundreds of thousands of subs. excellent presentation. nice voice to listen to too, once you get some more traction it's gonna take off. calling it now.
As always you make amazing hockey content keep up the great work Graham. gonna go watch that 2021 playoff run now even though I'm not a Habs fan I can't help being a Price fan. God Bless Goalies
What a good way to start a Sunday!
Another great video by you. I don’t know if you take suggestions but I’d like you to cover the Avs vs Stars rivalry WCF in either 99 or 2000 since I felt like below the Avs vs Wings rivalry, it was the Stars vs Avs rivalry which caused Dallas to go back to back to the final.
