A Piece of Habs History
On April 9, 2015, Carey Price did what no goalie in Montreal Canadiens history had ever done before...he won his 43rd regular season game. He would add one more for good measure to finish the Vezina/Hart/Lindsay/Lou Marsh/Greatest Man Alive campaign with 44 wins.
Karine has written previously about how awesome the Canadiens fan club, Club 1909, is. You can learn more about it here:

Back in February they posted up something amazing...and amazingly cheap for the points value. I acted quickly and wish that I used more of my points to claim a couple more before they changed it to a limit of one per member.
I love this type of unique item that has specific game-dated memorabilia with it. If something is linked to a particular moment/game that has significance to the team's history or even with a particular player that I like (i.e. my Gorges goal puck, also from Club 1909) I am much more likely to jump on that than a generic memorabilia card. So being able to get a piece of the net that Carey Price defended with such efficiency in that history-making victory is very, very cool.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do to display these. I have an empty shadow box kicking around and it would probably fit nicely into a matted frame as the net cord is only about a quarter-inch thick. Or I might get in touch with @DnJcards about a custom. He does some amazing work, but I don't know if I want to cut up the really nice 5x7 high gloss card that the net cord is attached to. Good problem to have eh?
Thanks for looking -- hopefully after the 2016-17 I can get another record-setting piece of net!Habs fan and collector! Main PC's: Carey Price, Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Juraj Slafkovsky, and of course...

This is awesome! I love stuff like this, really cool piece to have for a Habs fan like yourself. I think you should keep it as-is. I don't know if i'd want to cut it up either! Either way you go, it's going look so nice on a wall somewhere.

Very nice, I came real close to grabbing one of those but went with 2 programs from the centennial game and two practice pucks with my points. If I save up enough I'll probably grab one of the Price nets or a Subban stick (leaning more towards the Subban stick).
Rewards haven't been as good as last years but still not bad! I had enough at the time for one of the Winter Classic warm up jerseys but by the time I found out the rewards were refreshed they were already gone :(

@MattDMC They teased last week that there would be another rewards upload this week so keep your eyes peeled if you're sitting on points.
I will probably grab a Subban stick piece as well by the end of summer depending on what other stuff gets posted.

Only 1800 at this point. Had 12,000 last month but got tired of waiting for new rewards and doubted there would be any new updates. Guess I was wrong.
