Well, there is one Price making overtures that she may want to move after this contract ... nice. The window may be shorter than we think.

Isn't social media and the instant access to thousands and thousands fun?
Not in this case for the first time expectant parents.
Celebrities just don't have a private life anymore. Any action is only a cell phone picture and post away. Same with any news, whether truthful or not.

John Lu will send them a few dozen roses and a yellow teddy bear and all will be well. Besides, that would've happened in a lot of hockey markets. Getting the scoop in this multi-faceted media world is paramount. The Price's should also know that this stuff comes with the territory of being the best goaltender in the world, in the world's best hockey market. |

Sorry… something seems off about this one.
Eyes on the Prize and John Lu are the two singled out as having "broken" the story… but how the heck did they hear it, including such specifics as the actual due date? Clearly somebody was talking about it in a public place, and by somebody it had to have been one of the happy couple, no? Who else would know the due date? So if they're talking about it within earshot of at least two separate journalists but they hadn't told their family and friends yet then I think they have nobody to blame but themselves. Heck, even non-famous people know better than to blab it around a bunch of people and not expect the word to get around.

I guess so, but if Angela Price is in a private conversation with Katia Pacioretty, excitedly telling her that they are going to tell their families this weekend ... And John Lu, a sports reporter, overhears ...what does John Lu gain by reporting it? Is he a TSN reporter or TMZ ... A decent person, smiles, maybe says congratulations. Maybe since he is close enough to hear, ask if he can report it, if not, when can he .... ... I bet ya John Lu gets no insider time with Carey Price anymore. |

Her husband is one of the most famous hockey players in the world and a "god" in the city. And chances are he'd be AS famous if he was AS good in other big markets. She should've stopped short of making that comment. The team doesn't need "speculation" that Price's wife is unhappy in Montreal. All things Carey Price are newsworthy. I'm sure she was happy "this market" came in handy when her husband Tweeted his followers to help find their lost dogs in 2014. Immediately picked up by local media and the dogs were found the next morning. She has enjoyed and will continue to enjoy way more perqs than disappointments. Price Dog Tweet |

I'm sure she enjoys all the other perq$. This is written by his wife - nothing from him in here. It sounds a little whiny to me. It's been a while since we had our children but I don't remember the announcement being such a huge deal. I doubt Carey Price is waiting for his contract to expire( in 2018 ) so that he go hide in Phoenix or Florida. I'm a little surprised at John Lu. My impression of him was that he was a solid reporter - not someone that would go TMZ on you. If he was playing in Toronto or New York for instance, this would still be news. Get used to it. PS: I wonder how Andrew Berkshire like having EOTP referred to as a gossip site? The guy takes himself so seriously - that one has got to hurt.  |

Tempest in a tea cup to me. If you want to surprise your parents, don't talk about it in a public place with ANYONE. Whether Lu and EOTP were wrong or not is not all that important. Keep your lips sealed. Or, use that device that's rarely out of hand - a cell phone - and text them with the caveat that they keep on the DL. That said, I'm not telling ANYONE until my parents know.
EOTP has issued a public apology.
As for this 'event' having any impact on whether Price re-signs or not, I think that's going to 11 on the worry wart meter.

No one is going to 11 on the worry wart meter, but family does come into play when athletes decide where they will play .... things may have been long forgotten by 2018, but what if they are not? And over two reporters? If Carey has to choose between his wife and Montreal (not saying he will have to, but what if....) , you really think he chooses Montreal?? And I really don't buy the it's fair game arguement. There are certain things in life that decent humans don't broach. Putting pictures of car accidents clearly showing the license plate is one ... No one wants to find out about the death of a love one that way. So if hockey wives are talking about anything personal like that, it's fair game for an eavesdropping reporter? And even though it's a happy event ... I'd put pregnancies and birth announcements in that category. Patrice Bergeron just became a father, and surprisingly, there were no reporters in the delivery room, they got to announce it themselves.  |

So if hockey wives are talking about anything personal like that, it's fair game for an eavesdropping reporter? I'd like to know what actually happened/who overheard and where, but it's unlikely that will happen. hopefully it all blows over quickly. edit: from Angela's post: A gossip website took the initiative to announce our pregnancy over the weekend.it was out there We were lucky that most reputable media outlets seemed to have basic human decency and did not share the story. That was until last night when a classless reporter over heard a conversation and ran straight to twitter. how did the reporter know that it wasn't becoming full knowledge? especially if it was already circulating? We had not yet told the majority of friends and family who are now reading it all over the internet.
The past couple of weeks Carey and I had been discussing ways we could announce our big news, anxiously awaiting for that all important doctor appointment where we would get the green light to share OUR news. and that is very sad. but to your question, I think media is media, and clicks are what counts. that's what we have become as a society. unfortunately. and unfortunately I think it would have happened in any hockey city. I guess that discounts Phoenix, Sunrise, Toronto  nice picture in the blog. too bad it wasn't the first notice, I understand her anger. |

Even when he's wrong, he's right (he just deletes the wrong things he said!)  (for the record, Diaz is currently in the AHL, after having cleared waivers) |

linkDave Stubbs tweeted the news as well. It kinda sounds like he spoke to or heard from Price directly. I can't imagine Stubbs of all journalists running with this if he was specifically told not to. I'm convinced this was just a misunderstanding of some kind. Great that John Lu redirected the movement towards something positive. Very smart and a classy thing to do!

Even though it's a wonderful cause, I think Lu went overboard in this case, trying to appease a woman who was tad over-the-top scorned. She knew Carey told them. If it was supposed to be kept secret, what's he doing telling REPORTERS, of all people? Apparently, both Lu AND Stubbs didn't hear the "don't tell anybody" part. Or Carey didn't stress it enough.
That fact alone should've stopped her from the making the harsh statement: "It is people like you that make it hard for athletes and their families to want to play in this market."
Oh well....hope the princess is happy now.

Oh well....hope the princess is happy now. [/cynical_ba$tard] Alright, I wasn't going to do this, but I'll go the other way. Sincere apology! HA! There are a lot of I's in Lu's apology. I sympathize with the First Nations, I donated, please if you want to support the Prices dont rake me through the coals, donate, like me! ... I'm cynical too. I don't care if Carey, outright told them that Angela is pregnant ... Lu is a reporter. Ask questions. Have you shared this information? when is she due? Can I report it? Most women nowadays, according to my wife anyway, wait the thirteen weeks because (first trimester) because they don't want to tell people they are pregnant and then turn around and relive a miscarriage over and over re-telling everyone they told. That's what Angela Price meant by the all important doctors appt. she made it past the point where most miscarriages happen. How is this for a proper apology. I was negligent as a reporter, I should have stuck to sports and not your personal lives. I'm truly sorry I ruined this all important moment in your lives. I will strive never to be so careless in my reporter g of the Habs again. Pointe finale. I don't care what Lu donates too. Where he was born, grew up ... |

I'm not sure that his is much of a story. If Price told him and the reporter took it as general news, then where is the problem? If Price told him it was a secret then there is a problem. Either way, Price should of known that given that he is a public figure, anything that could be used/spun as news...will be used.

Price told him so it was no longer a secret. If athletes think their personal lives are never going to be talked about publicly they are incredibly naive. |
