A courier succeeded this summer where National Hockey League opponents failed last autumn, winter and spring: a delivery company that shall be unnamed tore Carey Price’s magnificent 2014-15 season apart at the seams.
Price beat a monotonous path to the NHL Awards stage in Las Vegas on June 24 to be presented one trophy after another, almost sheepishly accepting each. He posed happily with them backstage for photographers, barely able to cover the four trophies with his broad wingspan.
With the victories came four miniature keeper trophies. But together they were so much hardware that Price, leaving Vegas the following morning for the upstate Washington home of the parents of his wife, Angela, asked the league to ship the miniatures to the couple’s summer home in Kelowna, B.C.
That didn’t end so well.
“The Lindsay trophy was perfect. It arrived in a bulletproof box,” Price said with a laugh Thursday morning, chatting on the clubhouse steps of Laval-sur-le-Lac shortly before the Canadiens’ annual charity golf tournament.
“But the three others came in a cardboard box with (Styrofoam) peanuts, and two of them were broken.”
Better yet, with no one home to answer the door, the box was simply left on the front porch.the rest of the story

There should be a Habsrus posting rule that no thread subject should start with the words "Price's Broken" unless Carey has actually broken a bone in his body, or maybe some hearts of opponents.

We've had similar experiences with couriers. Several years ago my son's XBOX 360 was delivered. No one was home so instead of trying again another day, they just left it a the front door. Anybody could have walked away with it.

Got my anatomy dictionary out to find out where a person's "haul" is located. Didn't know if it was was a lower or upper body injury and how long a recovery period would be expected.
