Carey Price Explains The Hard Truth About Being a NHL Player: Sleepless Nights, Mental Health and More
It is truly sad when you take a look at Carey Price's career statistics, eleven out of his fifteen years in the NHL Carey Price has a amazing win/loss ratio, with a drastic amount of wins than losses, and also dominated in the save percentage category- nearing top 5 each year. But when you take a look at his playoff success, its quite literally the opposite.
Price has never played with a ''Superstar'' in front of him, looking at other teams with successful goaltender, and they all have a elite-level defenseman or amazing forward group in front of them. Price, out of his fifteen year NHL-career, has not had a player being paid more than $9,000,000 million in front of him, he has not had a properly built core..
Price recently spoke out and it clearly shows the true aspects of the NHL, when you work so hard for something and it just does not happen, Price, says he has trouble sleeping over certain bad memories with the Canadiens. Take a look at his full interview below, brought to you by Puck Empire.
Price said that the most difficult part is "working for something for over 14 years, being so close and having it ripped away from you at the last moment."

He also mentioned that the therapy provided by the league's player assistance program has helped him, as he's continued to keep tabs on his mental health.
Price feels "much" more comfortable to discuss his battle with mental health after voluntarily entering the NHL's assistance program, "Asking for help when you need it is what we encourage our kids to do. And it was what I needed to do.'
It's great to hear Price publicly admit he needed help, it takes a-lot of courage to do so. It's also amazing to hear he's on a better path now, but it's unfortunate that one memory is stuck in his head.
