 “The Puck Stops Here,” in the January 26 issue of ESPN The Magazine, writer Lindsay Berra goes into the crease with Canadiens 21-year old goalie, Carey Price, who may have the highest-pressure job in sports. Pressure is part of the package with playing for the Glorious Ones. The Canadiens – arguably one of most storied franchises in all of sports, are celebrating their centennial season, hosting the 57th NHL All-Star Game and have the 4th best record in the Eastern Conference – expectations for the Stanley Cup are at a high. But it’s harder to stay calm and play in a town that regards a Stanley Cup as practically a civic right. Failure to deliver on the ultimate prize can leave scars – and bitter memories. That’s why Price’s quietness and composure may be his best assets and traits to help him survive the heat in Montreal’s crease.
Quotes from the article: - Mike Komisarek, teammate on Price: “He’s always calm back there, and it spills over to the whole team. No matter how crazy things get, he doesn’t show much.”
- Price’s Father: “Carey wants to be the difference. He wants to be the No.1 guy on the biggest stage there is.”
Fans expect heroes to let us in, to show us more than their game faces. But over the course of Marvin Harrison's 13 years in the NFL, the Colts receiver has built an All-Pro career behind a firewall of privacy. In “You Have No Idea,” writers Shaun Assael and Peter Keating go inside the world of Harrison, perhaps the most enigmatic star in the NFL. They discover a man who looks and acts more like the King of West Thompson Street in North Philly than the quiet, record-setting future Hall of Famer. Along the way new evidence about his April 29 shooting incident comes to light, as well as further details about little-reported incidents of violence in his past. Source: ESPN
