Goalie Carey Price reflects on his future in the NHL

"After 14 years of trying relentlessly. [...] It's really hard to be (having been) so close and yet so far away." - Carey Price

"Price said he's spent a lot of time reflecting on himself over the past nine months - personally and professionally - and feels like he's grown from experiences that have given him a trying time." - John Lu

"Price said he felt pretty good physically after his Friday start. How many games he plays before the end of the season will be re-evaluated on a day-to-day basis, adding that his conditioning can still improve." - John Lu

"How many seasons does Price want to play? "All of them (he said with a smile)," referring to the years left on his current contract but one thing for sure, he wants to play as long as he can. The caveat is, "I want to leave hockey well and never be a burden to my team." - John Lu
