'''Carey Price''' is a goaltender for the Montreal Canadians. He used to be a back up goalie for Cristobal Huet. But now he is the number one goalie and his backup goalie is Al Montoya. He is the number 1 goalie for Team Canada and his backup goalies for him is [[Roberto Luongo]], and [[Mike Smith]]. This years Olympics he only got 3 goals on him and he got 2 shutouts this Olympics. He won 3-0against Sweden, and he won 1-0 against the United States.This years 2014 Olympics he helped Team Canada win the gold medal against Sweden.He helped the Montreal Canadians make it to the playoffs this year [[2014]]. They already beat Tampa Bay 4-0 in the series and they beat the best team in the league Boston 4-3 was the series. So go Canadians go and I think he is the best goalie in the league. Plus he was born in Canada, British Columbia, and he was born in Anahim Lake.

Beginning his junior career with the Tri-City Americans in 2003, Carey was drafted 5th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the [[2005 NHL Entry Draft]] following his second season with the Americans.
 
 
Following a further two seasons with the Americans, he won both the Del Wilson Trophy as the top goaltender in the WHL and CHL Goaltender of the Year in his final season of major junior in 2007.
 
 
Joining the Canadiens farm team, the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL just as the Calder Cup playoffs begun, Carey led the Bulldogs to the Calder Cup championship, winning the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the tournament MVP.
 
 
He made the Canadiens roster for the [[2007-2008 NHL season]] as the backup goaltender before becoming the starting goaltender later that season.
 
 
Internationally, Carey has represented Canada at various tournaments at junior levels, winning silver medals at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge in 2004 and the IIHF World U18 Championship in 2005.
 
 
Carey also won the gold medal at the 2007 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden. On January 7, 2014, he was named to the 2014 Canadian Olympic Hockey Team.
 
 
==Playing Career==
 
===Tri-City Americans===
 
===Hamilton Bulldogs===
 
Following the Tri-City Americans early playoff exit, Carey joined the Montreal Canadiens farm team later that spring just before the start of the 2007 Calder Cup playoffs.
 
 
In two regular season appearances with the Bulldogs, he allowed only 3 goals and won both games.
 
 
He led the Bulldogs on a remarkable run that spring, defeating the Hershey Bears 4 games to 1 in the finals as the team won their first Calder Cup.
 
 
Carey became only the third teenage goaltender to win the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the tournament MVP, posting a 2.06 GAA and .936 save percentage.
 
 
===Montreal Canadiens===
 
On October 1, 2007, Carey was named to Montreal Canadiens roster for the start of the 2007–08 season.
 
 
He made his highly anticipated Canadiens debut on October 10, 2007 against the Pittsburgh Penguins and recorded 26 saves in a 3–2 win.
 
 
After the first month of the season, he was awarded the Canadiens' Molson Cup for October, given to the player with the most first-star selections.
 
 
Although re-assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs midway through the season in January, Carey was called back up shortly over a month later.
 
 
With the trading of starting goaltender [[Cristobal Huet]] to the Washington Capitals before the trading deadline, Carey assumed the starting role for the Canadiens.
 
 
Carey was subsequently named the NHL Rookie of the Month for March and the NHL First Star of the Week (ending April 6, 2008) as the Canadiens finished first overall in the Eastern Conference and earned their first division title since 1991–92.
 
 
He completed the regular season leading all rookie goaltenders in wins (24), save percentage (.920), and shutouts (3).
 
 
Entering the playoffs against the Boston Bruins, Carey recorded a 1–0 win on April 15, 2008, becoming the first Canadiens rookie to post a playoff shutout since [[Patrick Roy]] in 1986.
 
 
He would go on to record another shutout in game seven to eliminate Boston. Montreal lost in the second round to the Philadelphia Flyers with Price losing 3 of the last 4 games.
 
 
After a strong start to the 2008–09 season (in which he earned a second Molson Cup in November), Carey injured his ankle on December 30, 2008.
 
 
Forced out of action for nearly a month during which Carey was voted in as a starting goalie for the 2009 [[NHL All-Star Game]] in Montreal (along with teammates [[Alexei Kovalev]], [[Andrei Markov]] and [[Mike Komisarek]]), he made his return to action on January 20, 2009 after backup [[Jaroslav Halak]] was pulled in a 4–2 loss to the Atlanta Thrashers.
 
 
Going into the 2009 playoffs as the eighth and final seed, the Canadiens played the Boston Bruins in the opening round for the second consecutive season.
 
 
They were swept in four games, with the Bruins scoring at least four times in each game. In the final game at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Carey surrendered four goals in two periods.
 
 
After stopping a weak dump-in, the crowd cheered sarcastically and Carey responded by putting his arms up in the air, similar to Patrick Roy's gesture on December 2, 1995, in a game after which Roy requested a trade from the Canadiens.
 
 
Carey struggled throughout the 2009-10 season, winning only 13 games and losing the starting job to Halak as the Canadiens entered the playoffs as the eighth and final seed.
 
 
Although the Canadiens made a surprise run to the Eastern Conference final, upsetting both the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins along the way, Carey appeared in only four games, losing one and getting no decision in each of the others, only coming off the bench when the game was out of hand.
 
 
The highlight of the season for Carey was stopping 37 of 38 shots in a 5-1 win over the Boston Bruins in the Canadiens 100 year anniversary game on December 4, 2009 and the low point was surrendering four goals in his only start of the playoffs.
 
 
In the summer of 2010, both Carey and Halák became restricted free agents and a goaltending debate emerged in Montreal over who would remain with the team: the playoff hero Halak or the younger Price.
 
 
After weeks of media speculation, the Canadiens chose Carey, trading Halak to the St. Louis Blues and re-signing Carey to a two year, $5.5 million contract to return to his role as starting goaltender.
 
 
 
The 2010–2011 NHL pre-season was a tough start for Price. However during the 2010-11 NHL regular season, Carey played in 72 games recording new career highs including 38 wins, 8 shutouts, a 2.35 goals against average, and a .923 save percentage and was selected to play in the 2011 NHL All-Star Game.
 
 
This play from Carey allowed the Montreal Canadiens to enter the [[2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs]].
 
 
This strong play continued for Carey in the playoffs posting a .935 save percentage, however it was not enough to lead the Canadiens to victory as they fell in seven games in the first round to the Boston Bruins.
 
 
On October 26, 2011, he got his 100th win in his NHL career in his 214th game.
 
 
A few months later, Carey participated to his 3rd All-Star Game. However, the 2011–2012 season did not go well for the Canadiens and they missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2006–2007 season. He missed the last 4 games of the season due to a concussion.
 
 
On July 2, 2012, Carey re-signed with the Montreal Canadiens, a six-year contract worth $39 million dollars.
 
 
During the lockout shortened [[2012-13 NHL season]], Carey started the year very well, winning 18 of his first 28 starts as the Canadiens (in stark contrast to the previous season) were one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference going 29-14-5, good enough for second in the conference.
 
 
However, Carey's play dropped off in the final weeks of the season, going 2-6 and allowing 27 goals.
 
 
Nonetheless, the Canadiens went into the playoffs against the 7th seeded Ottawa Senators.
 
 
In Game 4, with the score tied 2-2 as the 3rd period came to an end, Carey suffered a groin injury and did not return for the overtime period and was replaced by [[Peter Budaj]], the Senators would go onto score and win the game.
 
 
His injury sidelined him for the rest of the series and the Canadiens were eliminated in five games. He ended the playoffs with a sub-par 3.26 GAA and an .894 save percentage.

Carey Price is a goaltender for the Montreal Canadians. He used to be a back up goalie for Cristobal Huet. But now he is the number one goalie and his backup goalie is Al Montoya. He is the number 1 goalie for Team Canada and his backup goalies for him is Roberto Luongo, and Mike Smith. This years Olympics he only got 3 goals on him and he got 2 shutouts this Olympics. He won 3-0against Sweden, and he won 1-0 against the United States.This years 2014 Olympics he helped Team Canada win the gold medal against Sweden.He helped the Montreal Canadians make it to the playoffs this year 2014. They already beat Tampa Bay 4-0 in the series and they beat the best team in the league Boston 4-3 was the series. So go Canadians go and I think he is the best goalie in the league.
