On pulling Carey Price...

"Everybody knows you never take a guy out, if you’re smart, during the (period)," Cherry said. "Remember Mario Tremblay did it with Pat Roy and that was the end of him."

Cherry's point was that when you have a star goalie like Price, they never want to be pulled -- especially in front of their home crowd -- and that the coach has to pick the right time to make the switch, which is almost always during the intermission.

"Kenny Dryden in my book said, yes, he got pulled once by Scotty (Bowman) but he never got pulled during the game," Cherry continued. "Never should a Hall of Famer like that be pulled like that. He is absolutely steaming you don’t pull a guy like that.

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr are going to meet in person early next week to further discuss whether or not the players will participate in the 2018 Olympics, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.

The players have been pushing to play in the Games while the owners have been resisting, including being recently reported as having a “strong negative sentiment” towards the idea.

It’s no secret what the NHL wants in exchange for letting its players head overseas to PyeongChang.

“The NHL has put its cards on the table,” said Friedman during the Headlines segment of Hockey Night in Canada. “They want some labour peace in exchange for going to the Olympics.”

The job for the NHLPA has now become finding some sort of grounds on which they can negotiate.
