Breaking: Habs’ Price makes shocking medical announcement

According to a French-language report from Montreal based new outlet TVA Sports, Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price has been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome.

“I was always tired,” Price told TVA. “A guy who eats well and sleeps well like me isn’t supposed to be tired like I was.”

Earlier in the season when Price was having a difficult time recovering from games and practices, he decided to seek additional advice from a nutritionist outside of the Canadiens’ organization. 

“When Carey came to see me, he had a big problem with his ability to recuperate,” says nutritionist Jean-Francois Gaudreau. “He thought he was able to get out of it on his own, but as things went along it just kept getting worse and worse.

The problem was apparent to Gaudreau, “We realized after taking blood samples that he had deficiencies – mostly in vitamin D and B12.”

Shortly after the discovering and diagnosis, Price began a new nutritional regimen that including taking supplements and eating a new diet. Since then, Price has gained control over his fatigue again and his play has improved as a result. “It took me three weeks to see a major difference in my energy level,” said Price who is 10-8-3 with a .923 save percentage under the new regimen.

Earlier in the season it was clear that Price just wasn’t himself. Once the most dominant goaltender in the world, Price looked… average. With his diagnosis now public, Price’s early season struggles now make sense. With his diet now under control, hopefully the former Hart Trophy and Vezina Trophy winning goaltender can get back to doing what he does best: stopping pucks.
