“There were players who were really generous (with fans), but who were more behind the scenes. There’s one in particular (who was extraordinary with fans) and that’s Carey Price.
Price, with adults, he really didn’t have the knack at all, but I saw Carey Price do some wonderful things that I never saw any other player do during the 6-7 seasons I was there.
He wasn’t comfortable being around adults he didn’t know, but with kids, he was extremely generous.
Once (at one point), he was answering reporters’ questions and knew that some kids were waiting for him, and [he practically cut off a press conference in front of the media and] went to see them.
He got down on his knees, started talking to the young fans, and you could see he was in his element.
You could see in his eyes that he loved taking the time, and he really had a way with kids! Because kids don’t have the stupidity that some adults have.”
