And then, the equivalent of the NHL’s “Best Picture” award, the Hart Trophy, awarded to the player most valuable to his team. Price won that as well.

As it was the end of the evening, he stayed on stage as the credits rolled. This little fist pump was captured and tweeted out:

That is the most self-aggrandizing (if you can call it that) I’ve ever seen Price exhibit!

Some facts about his wins:

It has been a magical season for Carey Price and the Canadiens.

Still, detractors have been out in force on Twitter, practically gloating that the ultimate goal – the Stanley Cup – remains out of this goalie’s reach so far.

While I know it is his ultimate goal, as he has said so many times, only one team wins the Cup. Falling short of that victory, I would say it’s a pretty special accomplishment to win 4 awards in one season, especially one that is voted on by the players you encounter throughout the 82 games of regular season.

I also believe the Stanley Cup is within reach in the very near future. Carey Price is nowhere near finished. In fact, this season, he’s just gotten started.

We, here at A Winning Habit, proudly congratulate Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens for this phenomenal evening of recognition and tribute.
