Well, it’s not exactly what I meant. I see posts slagging CP for partaking in a cattle roping contest on his time off of hockey which every player deserves. I mean, fine, I’d hope that he’s still keeping fit and staying sharp when it comes to hockey and goaltending, but jeez, cut him some slak and frikin let the guy do something that he might like to do.
In other words to those people who want to bash a Habs goaltender, eff off and let him have a life outside the Bell Center.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
it’s a cruel activity. But most of us are guilty of some sort of animal abuse… so yea, we should pipe down over this until we’ve corrected our own ways.
So that’s the reason nobody takes your anti-Price tirades seriously, you take what one person says about Price and use it to determine your opinion of all Price fans. Stereotyping, it’s not just for racial profiling anymore!

He did one day on rodeo, we don’t know what he was doing for the previous 7 days or the 7 following them.
How about we forbid all Canadiens players from driving if they’re under 25? Men under 25 are the highest risk for car accidents, best not take any chances. Also, definitely no using a vending machine, 13 people die from vending machines falling on them each year. No floor hockey, they might tear their achilles tendon like Sami Salo. No flying either, might get a clot in their leg like Tomas Fleischmann did last season. Or contact with people, they’re all swimming with disease and they might Mono or something. Also no pork, don’t want them getting swine flu…

Jeez, everybody all up in arms for Price doing something that he likes to do.
Pathetic.

Nice.
Even if Mr. Stubbs did not mention anything about Carey Price’s contract, I guarantee you there would still be posts relating the two events. There is so much hate here, and I would post more often if it decreased. I don’t get it, I can understand criticism of the team in a logical, well thought out manner, but the majority of the time it’s just plain hateful here with irrational rants flooding the comments. I, for one, question some of the decisions made by Habs management (such as trading Halak), but I love this team, and will always love it, regardless of who is playing for them.
Nicely put.

Maybe work on your spelling thing before you generalize about the rest of us.
That way maybe you can get into a CGEP.
“To failing hands we’ve passed the torch.”
I lose all respect for any player who takes risks in the off season. Many NFL contracts have have clauses in which forbids players from doing anything risky in the “off” season. Just a matter of time before this comes to the NHL.
The average career for an NHL player is under 6 seasons. If said player can;t restrain himself till retirement, I lose respect. People are harder on Price and more quicker to judge – because of his embarassing record last year.
If the kid was 26 – 12, no one would care. Like the rest of life, results and success give you freedom.
I’m not defending Price…I’m not THAT serious about these posts. LOL. I’m just having a good time seeing pictures of a good looking man. Ease up!

Ya I remember 15 years ago when I was going to University in Montreal that Ron Reusch was the big cheese in the sporting world. I think he was married to another CFCF “broad”caster. If I remember right, I think her name was Suzanne Desotelle or something like that. It was a good catch for Rockin’ Ronny Reusch.
Ladies… you wish that your man smelled like me. Look in my trapper. It’s a puck. Now it’s the city of Montreal! I’m on a horse.
May he grab a bull by the horns, I say.

so THAT is the reason khab25 and the rest defend Price with such passion. I totally understand now.
The best thing to come out of this post is my discovery that Ron Reusch is alive and well! (Kidding, but he was my favourite CFCF sportscaster from way back in the day when I lived in the Townships).
Show me the numbers that prove your point and I’ll see it. Because a Google search for “mountain biking injury rate” gave me this abstract
http://www.questia.com/googleScholar.qst;jsessionid=MdGDWVrpZRSPWCGbwr4NDn0dJhkGrGsfH5tbzgypJj2v7jP2Bc1J!547733517!427202863?docId=5002567816
that quotes an injury rate of 1.2 injuries per 1000 exposures and this abstract
http://emj.bmj.com/content/early/2010/07/19/emj.2009.086991.abstract
that quotes 1.54 injuries per 1000 exposures but the 2009 NEISS statistics quotes an injury rate per 100,000 population of 25.6 or 0.256 per 1000 for horseback riding. So if i’m wrong or misinterpreting the data, show me…don’t just quote numbers you and no one else can see. I gave you credit for skiing and rugby. Show me independent corroborated evidence and you CAN change my mind. But just accept your word when you have a self-admitted bias against Price? Sorry. Not going to happen. Everything you say relating to Price is tainted because of your feelings. I’ve watched team roping for 15 years. I’ve seen that it rates pretty f***ing far down on the list of dangerous activities. To get me to believe otherwise you have to come up with better evidence than your grudge against Price.
BTW, about “organizations are limiting their assets off ice activities in the off ice season”, if you had bothered to read Reusch’s article – or the first two paragraphs of it at least – you would have read “Competing in rodeos as a way of staying in shape in the off season is not exactly what the Canadiens had in mind when they presented Carey Price with his off season fitness program.
The team relented when Price said he would limit his participation to the Team Roping competition.”
So Habs mgmt does know what Price is doing, and my inferemce of the article is that they feel team roping is no more dangerous than any other common off-season training activity. If they thought otherwise they would have stopped him like they stopped him from competing in the other rodeo sports.
Price will be the new Old Spice guy
Just another HIO yank-a-thon!
Carey Price in tight jeans and a cowboy hat on a horse…YUM!

More HELPFUL than your link…
Carey would be perfect for the show I work on. Get on it Stubbs!
http://www.mantracker.ca
We actually just shot an episode with another prominant athlete. Not sure if I’m allowed to say who yet, but Carey might know…..
Even back in the 1980s, I’m pretty sure teams were much in favour of their players not performing activities that could result in serious injury that could sideline them for months.
Zdeno Chara is a Norris trophy winner with All-star honours, he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 2008 along with Calgary defencemen Robyn Regehr. I’m sure their clubs were thrilled with the idea of their players climbing a mountain in the off-season.

Unreal.
Thanks for using caps, they were very HELPFUL.
It was irresponsible of Robinson to play polo and risk his season.
We retired his number cause he was a winner and got the job done. Plus, the 1970s and 80s were a much different time. In 2010, being a professional athlete is a 365 day a year job. Don’t believe me, ask the rest of the Habs who I guarantee are not playing on some dumb ass horse.
“Any type of equestrian”
I dunno, I’ve never heard of anybody getting hurt riding a miniature pony around a ring at like 3 kmph.
Formerly known as Camel_Larry
Any type of equestrian is 9 times more likly to cause injury then mountain biking. It is a risky behavour, and in the 21st century – organizations are limiting their assets off ice activities in the off ice season.
Sad you don;t see that.
Hey genius. Do you only criticize bad spelling when it is people who disagree with you?
What a great reply.
Hey genius. Don’t you mean a CEGEP?
Ah, the Ad Hominem fallacy – Illogical Argument 101. You can’t dispute my facts so you resort to ineffective insults of the person making the argument. The result of the argument is still mine. I have sport-specific research that shows team roping injuries are so statistically insignificant that experts studying sports medicine don’t even consider it while you, when not getting the sport wrong despite the name being written in front of you, can only respond with generic information lumping all equestrian activities together. Nice try. Thanks for playing. I think I’ll go debate with someone armed with cognitive skills now.
It is also well known that most people who post shit on the internet have no clue what they are talking about. And by reading most of this board a lot of thos people are here.
Hey guys, remember that irresponsible oaf Larry Robinson? The nerve of that guy to play polo in the off-season, broke his leg one year! Can’t we believed we retired that bum’s number…
Get real, players have the freedom to live a little off the ice.

Don;t worry – you will catch up with the 21st century someday.
Heck, even goalies have had their throats slit while playing, guess Price shouldn’t even play anymore seeing that adam cares so much about his well being.
Goalies in Montreal have two roles, netminder and scapegoat.
Somehow, i’ll sleep tonight.
Here is the deal Carey sign the dam contract , stop the puck and win the cup. Then no one will care if you roped baby elephants.
Wow, You REALLY don’t know rodeo do you? That’s the wrong sport, Adam.
Price does TEAM roping, not steer roping. No one gets off a horse and throws a steer to the ground in TEAM roping. The heeler (which is Price’s position) only throws his rope after the header has already thrown his rope. If the header’s rope correctly lassoes the horns or horn and hoof then the steer has already been slowed down so it’s not running full speed. Often the Heeler misses because the steer is no longer running straight but turning towards the rope. Sometimes the Heeler doesn’t even get to throw his rope if the Header has missed his throw. Finally both roper’s tie their ropes to the saddlehorn prior to the start, so it’s the horse not the roper than takes any strain from the steer. And, oh yeah, let’s not forget the event lasts about 10 secs, tops. So, since the steer is given a half second lead before the riders can even break the barrier, Price is on a running horse for less time than it took you to find that erroneous link.
BTW, you can read the write-up for the CORRECT sports on the links on the left hand side of the page you linked to, if you had looked.
that’s a funny image

To me, cattle roping requires good hand/eye co-ordination. Maybe this will help with his glove side.

nobody i’m associated with is guilty of any type of animal abuse, so i will pipe up all i want about it…i’m not a fan of it period
-”People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” Chuck Palahniuk
Big deal. Halak liked playing soccer and racing cars in is off-season.
This is simply the case of a journalist adding a twist to a story to spark debate, I wouldn’t get too worked up over it. I doubt any checking was done with Price or his agent to confirm the rodeo events are holding up contract negotiations, yet the title of this blog certainly suggests the two are related even though the actual article on Price at the rodeo makes no mention to an NHL contract.
LOL you have a new pic of Price up….. You have such passion for your crush.
Show me ONE bit of evidence, just ONE!!!
Wow, I can’t believe all the love RR is getting here. I couldn’t stand the guy, I’ve never seen a bigger negative nelly in my life, he never had anything positive to say about any of the local sports teams. His opinions sounded so scripted as he would read them off a sheet! He retired about 10 years too late! He must have had some pictures of Bill Haugland or something.
He could fall off the boat and drown while bass fishing… he could get hit by a golf ball and break his foot… he could be riding a motorcycle…
Lots of ways to risk injury in life. He chooses Rodeo.

Thanks for the link Dave, except it doesn’t work for me. Anybody else have this problem?
And to everyone that’s annoyed that Carey Price is in a rodeo, google “rodeo + calf roping”. Please. Players are allowed to have fun in the off season.
If I was Carey Price, I’d be staying well clear of Montreal until I had a contract, or I’d be the center of a media frenzy I’d rather avoid.

It is well known Price has a poor work ethic. Nice to know he is focused on the season.
“My face is my mask,” Gump Worsley
You are so right. I was just thinking about Malakhov last night. Got his ass traded for skiing when he was supposed to be injured.
Sigh. Price is smarter than that, right?
To be fair, if you are used to horses, it’s not dangerous unless you do something really dumb. I got pitched once for going too close to a jump (that we weren’t jumping). It was my fault, not the horses. I landed face down about a foot away from a horse dropping, so I was lucky
You’ve never seen calf roping if you think it’s dangerous. Vinnie LeCav risks greater injury every time he sits behind the wheel of his shiny black ferrari…
http://www.quanthockey.com/Distributions/CareerLengthSeasons.php
Average seasons is 6. If any player can not dedicate their full time attn during their career – I have zero respect.
MBAs, bull fighting are to be reserved when you are retired (at the ripe old age of 32!)
So Cammalleri is doing the morning shows, being the face of the franchise. Maxim lapierre dedicated his time to fundrasing for the Canadians Children Charity foundation. PK hit the Gym and looks like MT T.
Price jumps on a horse, risking injury.
Reminds me of Vladimir Malakhov.
I believe Ron Reusch is married to Caroline Van Vlardengen.
Speaking of dangerous off ice activities – The Canadian Ball Hockey Championships were held recently in St. Johns. If any of you have ever played ball hockey for any length of time you would know the long term effect on your knees that running on concrete has. The surfaces are usually a little slippery and it is a tough sport to play at a high level. A Newfoundland team won and had two NHL players on it – Adam Pardy of the Flames and Teddy Purcell of Tampa Bay. I was surprised that they are allowed to play this in the off season. It also had an Ex NHLer that you might all remember - Terry Ryan, our one time first round pick.

Here kid, try this https://dspace.ucalgary.ca/bitstream/1880/44035/4/butterwick.pdf
Read carefully, TEAM roping is considered a minor rodeo sport in terms of injuries and doesn’t even make Dr. Butterwicks’ list in his 5-year epidemiologic analysis of rodeo injuries. It’s grouped under “Other”. Please don’t confuse it (AGAIN) with calf roping or as it is now known Steer Roping.
A perfect heading for sure to start the day off. That’s the million questions here IF CP will sign or not? All naysayer’s who says CP is just a………….whatever comes to their mind? CP has done nothing wrong here. Its all about what his agent is doing on his behave. CP stated a while back that he is ”Restricted” and left it at that. What’s all the fuss in getting CP signed when every Tom, Dick & Harry thinks he should not be given any status on a contract since CP has no power to negotiate a deal? Will thats not the case and its being workout in a very quiet way where nobody knows what’s up at this moment? Stay tuned for all the drama to come.
Washington is one d-man upgrade away from winning it all. They should go for Bieksa IMO
[Disclaimer]: I’m a hockey fan. I care about the habs, but probably not as much as you.
Check out this compilation of highlight reel goals.I’ve never seen these before.I think mostly international leagues hockey goals…..like from the euro leagues and stuff.There’s absolute beauties and nice new creative moves i never have seen in the NHL.

Report ; Washington Looking for ‘D’ man – from Peter Adler
The Washington Capitals are in talks with two teams, the Edmonton Oilers and the Vancouver Canucks, about moving forward Tomas Fleischmann, 26, who is coming off a career year, an NHL source says.
If Edmonton were the place, Sheldon Souray would be heading to Washington. Kevin Bieksa would move from the Canucks to Washington.

http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=423049
Or if you want more recent data http://www.cpsc.gov/neiss/2009highlights.pdf
Motorcycle 254,054 cases 9.2% hospitalized or doa for 23373 cases
horseback 78499 cases 3.7% hospitalized or DOA for 2,904 cases
Football 451,961 cases 3.2% hospitalized or DOA for 14,462 cases
LAcrose Rugby etc 92,949 cases 0.4% hosp. or DOA for 371 cases
Snowskiing, snowboarding 100,359 cases 1.4% hosp or DOA for 1003 cases
so you’re right about rugby and skiing but way off on motorcycles and football. But the horseback riding statistics also including jumping, absolute amateurs on trail rides, riding across open fields with hazards like gopher holes etc., not pros on well-trained horses in groomed sandy infields riding for SEVEN (7) seconds.

Yes indeed, I was living there at the time and couldn’t wrap my mind around that hottie marrying the rather unattractive Mr Reusch, maybe he was a terrific lover….yeeecccchhhh
And while we wait for him to sign, he’s wondering if his hometown will still be standing next week. Puts the silly talk here in perspective. They may have dodged the worst for now, but his hometown of Anahim lake is at risk. The current wildfires are far from over and the forecast is for high winds and some lightning.

Dryden for Prime Minister
The whole discussion regarding Price and the delays in signing him has generated thousands of posts on HIO because Price is a key part of the Habs’ plans. The media don’t whip us into a frenzy. We’re perfectly capable of generating that kind of hysteria all by our lonesomes, thank YOU very much. Heck, even the summer vacation absence of one of the chief regular media troublemakers (and I say that with much admiration, Mr Boone) didn’t slow us down one whit.
Pff. Blaming the press is so lame.
Chuck, I wrote here (and in print, almost R.I.P.) a couple of weeks ago that there was nothing nefarious about Price not yet having signed. His agent believed then, and presumably still, that the deal will get done before training camp.
We could let HIO lay fallow during the dog-days of summer, but we try when possible to offer fresh posts with links simply to keep the conversation here alive, and without readers having to wade through very many hundreds of comments.
This rodeo post wasn’t intended to stir controversy. It was meant only to show that Price is a decent rodeo cowboy.

I do agree with Halo Dave, knowing the pulse of the fans on the topic. The title of this thread can be read in a rather negative way.
Ultimately, some Habs fans are just VERY sensitive on the topic and you guys are just doing your jobs

Please keep those links and any other HABS related material coming. Even if it is umpteenth degree removed from actual ‘hockey stuff’. We will read them ALL and infer and extrapolate. It’s our raison d’être.
It is what it is! If they wear a habs jersey then they should expect us to be interested!
Can you inform HIO on any information you know re Price’s off season training. Who is he working with? Where?
Camp is getting close and it would be nice to know that he is in serious readiness despite the contract situation.
The man is right Dave. No equivacating please. You are busted. Collective guilt I say. CP will not finish his next contract in Mtl.
character is derfab destiny.
Dave – I come here quite often to read the links posted on here and quite appreciate it. Keep ‘em coming!
But, the article has no mention of Carey Price signing a contract. The title of your blog makes a direct reference to the contract negotiations, could easily be taken as implying Price is too busy with the rodeo to sign a contract. Seperate topics, yet you’ve combined the two and added fuel to the fire.
Did you call Carey Price or his agent and ask if the rodeo is what is holding up the negotiations? As a member of the media in a town such as Montreal I’d focus on the facts as opposed to linking two events to create an angle that may not exist.
You know the “And while he waits to sign…” was intended on throwing fuel to the fire. I doubt anyone would be concerned about Price not signing yet if the media didn’t feel the need to jump all over it and create a story out of nothing.
Several hundred commenters on this site beg to differ.

Hey Chuck, it was an article. No need to overexaggerate. Nothing wrong with linking to another site that has a story about something that is completely public. Stubbs isnt digging through Prices trash or anything….If Boone was here though, we’d be up to date on what Price had for dinner last week.
He should have been signed before they traded Jaro.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Did anyone notice how those Maple Leaf fans are such sheep? They support management no matter what. It’s no wonder they haven’t won in 43 years.
Boone is a subtle agitator that is his niche or at least one of them. He is methodical at his technique in getting a response from the member’s on this site. Stubbs is a close second.
Support Carey Price “Hypocrisy is not a virtue”
adam76 is third.

Funny – I think your trying to put words in his mouth.
I do not see him saying “Rightly so”
But then again, from what I’ve seen in your posts in general, it would not surprise me if you where a family member of Tony’s.
Rightly so? Are you for censorship? Some are often berated by the mob here, and are just too immature to simply ignore. Really, the mob got Tony banned, not the mods. But most like the mudslinging.
Don’t pollute the water.
You must have been away from Habs I/O for a stretch if your asking this.
Tony was on here 24/7 repeating the same thing over and over and over and over … and over and over and over … (fast forward to 6 hours later) … and over and over and over again.
There’s only so much negativity some can take, before it angers them.
After all – this is MEANT to be a FAN site for the Habs, not a “Sh!t on the Habs site”
You mean, Tony the Super Troll, aka TST!!
Same material – Different username………
Likely the way in which he states said opinion. Name calling and bashing are clearly meant to illicit negative responses, so we shouldn’t be shocked when posts containing those things get those responses. You can state an opinion without getting to those extremes and calling members of the organization a “geniuses” or a “priceadona” (not witty by the way).
At some point it’s like, “we get it… you hate _____”.
kool-aid*
If I drink the kool-aid does it shut you up? Wheres the line?
Why is this guy catching so much heat for stating his opinion? A lot of people think it was a huge mistake dealing halak, especially BEFORE they even had price locked up.. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion….I also think it will be a long season in Montreal with Price being number 1…doesn’t mean im hoping for it.
——–If you play nhl10 for xbox360 add me – scrowe21
Who would call him? No seriously, think about it… if he speaks the way he writes, it’s just like trying to make sense of the Bugs Bunny cartoons on TV. Must be a very hard conversation to follow.
I never bought that injured Theo heel story for a second.
I think management, in collaboration with Theo and his entourage, cooked it up to get him out’ve the pressure-cooker so that Huey (who was playing MUCH better) could consolidate the goalie position without controversy.
I think the photographer-in-the-bushes business was a total set-up and a sham.
My opinion.
Questionable but unactionable, it’s

But then why didn’t Theo start playing in Colorado sooner?
I was waiting for someone to ask me that.
To give the conspiracy legs by not having the whole city call him a coward for going along with the sham. It’s the only possible reason. It’s either that reason or the whole thing makes no kinda sense and only serves to make me look like an utter fool. And we can’t have that.
So accept it!

Nice to know the Thoroughbred is taking care of himself, staying away from risky activites and suchlike.
Was thinking something similar when I read this the other day. After reading though, I realised it’s not much of a danger, atleast no more than riding horses around the ranch would be.
You mean like when Joe “Duh, should I put my hand in that snowblower” Sakic got hurt or Jose “I can’t afford to hire a landscaper to salt my driveway” Theodore fell and broke his heel?
I wonder if Carey Price will start learn to play Polo.
We all know what happened to Larry Robinson in the offseason one year after taking up the sport.

Thanks for the update on Carey Price’s personal life Dave Stubbs.
And we wonder why players avoid Montreal.
Frikkin media.
We linked to someone else’s blog, Chuck, in the spirit of keeping the conversation flowing with a fresh item that ultimately will be a jumping-off point for comments far removed from its subject.
And I don’t think Carey’s trying to take part in the rodeo in private.

the only danger is to the calves really. Cowboy has been riding horses as long as he’s been skating so i’ve read, he’s safe

Christopher Reeves wasn’t a beginner rider, though.
Price played better when his mask was decorated with Country & Western Singers…………lol
too bad the kid can’t rope a win.
Too harsh. He roped wins.
Shoulda said something else. “Too bad he can’t rope consistency” for example.
Questionable but unactionable, it’s
