The idea that Price was behind a Much, Much worse team is complete horse shit.

The Rangers scored 7 more goals than the Habs over these 10 season's. (2,137 vs 2,144). Posters suggesting Price did more with less are completely clueless and don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Both offense's were equally pathetic. Almost identical. So No. Price was not as good as Lundqvist with Much, Much worse. That's an asinine, lazy statement.
I think you have your years confused Gabs was not on the 09 team, he was on the 10 team.
I take what NHL players say over HyperbolicBoard.
Most of the NHL players are Canadian. You don't think they're biased for the best Canadian goalie?
