Carey Price Makes A Statement: He’s A Washington Nationals’ Fan

Carey Price is a couple of things.  He struggled last year, I don’t particularly “cheer” for the Habs, but I felt sorry for him when his hillbilly brain started leaking into his raw athleticism and psyche.  There were rumours of incessant partying and a love for the drink, and that goddamn goalie mask that declares he is a butt-fucking country boy.

You’d think that Carey would want to present himself as somewhat likable, if at least not a drunk to the people of Montreal.  Nah, not Carey Price.  He elects to sport the hat of the sad excuse of a franchise that was once the great Montreal Expos.  Sure, the Expos became a joke in the end but it was in Washington where things got the shittiest.

Carey spoke with TSN today (here is the interview), and admitted that he is not afraid of a challenge from the Canadiens’ fans.

I bet he was sitting on a cooler full of Bud Light this summer with some dudes in cowboy boots and thought a Nationals’ cap would be a great idea.  Then again, that would be acknowledging that Carey Price is clever.  I’m not ready to do that yet, but I bet he loves chewin’ on straw.
