Price downplays Friday staredown: ‘I was just pissed’

Carey Price doesn't think his glare down the bench Friday night was much of a big deal.

"I was just pissed," the Montreal Canadiens goaltender told reporters Saturday following a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals when asked if he was trying to send a message with the stare after being pulled following four early goals by the San Jose Sharks the night prior.

"I don't think anybody can blame me in that situation," he said.

But at whom exactly was he "pissed?"

"Myself, everybody," Price said.

The netminder said there's no lingering bitterness toward head coach Michel Therrien.

"We're all good. We're all professionals and are able to realize that hockey's emotional and sometimes you're not going to see eye-to-eye on things, but at the end of the day, you show up to work the next day and you get the job done."

Therrien echoed his goaltender's sentiments about bygones being bygones.

"No," the coach told reporters when asked if there was anything to smooth over from Friday's incident. "Absolutely not."

Price stopped 20-of-21 shots to earn his 250th career victory Saturday night, becoming the fourth goalie in Canadiens history to achieve the milestone.
