A Canadiens fan has started a GoFundMe page, hoping to raise money to put up a billboard up in Montreal supporting goalie Carey Price.

“After a terrible season for all of the Montréal Canadians (sic), Carey Price, the center piece of this team got a lot of criticism from the media and the fans, leaving him and his coach to believe fans didn’t like him anymore,” writes Canadiens fan Mattis Pelletier of Lachenaie on the GoFundMe page he started on Thursday. “This couldn’t be as far from the truth. Fans of the Canadians (sic) are still in love with Carey, and we want to show it and prove him we will always support him by buying a billboard in Montréal and putting a picture of him on it. If you are a Montréal Canadians (sic) fan and you want to support your favorite player, please donate to support our cause!”

The goal is to raise $1,500.

The Canadiens missed the playoffs this season for the second time in three years with a 29-40-13 record and Price struggled with a 16-26-7 record along with a 3.11 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage.
