Canadiens’ Martin St. Louis shares heartfelt reaction to fans’ reception for Carey Price

Montreal Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis shared an emotional reaction following Carey Price's induction into the team's Ring of Honour. Fans at the Bell Centre gave the Hall of Fame goaltender a nearly four-minute standing ovation on Tuesday night. St. Louis expressed pride that his current squad witnessed the tribute, calling it a powerful reminder of how supportive Montreal fans are of hard work and professionalism.

St. Louis admitted that it was hard not to get choked up during the ceremony honoring Price, who played parts of 15 seasons with the franchise. The celebration occurred on the same night the Canadiens fell 2-1 in overtime to the Minnesota Wild, moving their overall record to 11-3-4 on the season.
