Controversy involving Élizabeth Rancourt and Carey Price: the Montreal Canadiens' goaltender has just indirectly responded to her opinion
Do you remember this little media storm?
When the excellent Élizabeth Rancourt, from TVA Sports, had notably declared this about Carey Price during an appearance on the Solemn podcast:
It's as simple as that. He got there because he had the talent, but this guy, in my opinion, just wants to leave for the West, fish, and hunt. That's it. [...] In my opinion, he hasn't enjoyed hockey for years, because he is just there because he has the talent and the money that comes with it. That's all."
- Élizabeth Rancourt
A controversial excerpt that had been shared and reshared numerous times.
It created quite a buzz!
Did Carey hear about this story and these statements?
Hard to say, however, many fans noticed something very interesting yesterday. During Carey Price's very first press conference since this story, the #31 goaltender repeatedly emphasized how much he missed playing hockey.

Later, he also added this:
- Carey Price
And there's more. He made several statements of this kind.
Clearly, this answers the question, and even if he was not directly addressing Élizabeth Rancourt, Carey Price completely denied her statements.
Let's put this in the category of settled cases.
