Speaking of defensemen, Brandon Davidson certainly enjoyed his Canadiens debut, logging 14:40 of ice time playing alongside Jeff Petry - and coming out on the right side of the scoresheet in the end, of course. The 25-year-old rearguard made sure to soak up everything about the experience of playing in front of a huge contingent of Habs fans who definitely made their voices heard with "Go Habs Go" and "Carey! Carey! Carey!" chants early and often.
"It was good. I really enjoyed it. I think the fans here really made it special. It was exciting to have the chants and stuff here, too. I'm glad to get my feet wet again. I definitely want to keep moving forward. There's a lot more I have to give, but it was a good first start," shared Davidson, who hadn't seen game action since February 24, when he was still a member of the Edmonton Oilers. "[The rink was] crazy, actually. I didn't know it was going to be like that. It was a little bit of a surprise, for sure."
It wasn't much of a surprise to Price, though, who relished the chance to ply his trade in his home province and ultimately got the job done.
"It's always cool to come home to BC. I love it here," concluded Price. "It's always nice to come home."
