Oh so now its his fault?
Hello Double standarts?
You tell me.
Is it Lindgrens fault or not ?

And anyone arguing that Price sucks doesn't know hockey either.
Well then why is it that whenever Price has gone down for any significant time this club has fallen apart?
There's no doubt the team has an impact on the goalie. We're seeing that now and we've seen it with strong teams and weak goalies. There's some truth to it. But Carey Price has played behind crappy teams for most of his career.
You could switch any of the top 10-15 goaltenders and the difference would be minimal in today’s game with the way systems are played. But that doesn’t discredit Price from being one of the best at his position, excluding this season where he’s been a inconsistent mess. I don’t blame you if you feel like investing 10-14% was a huge mistake or if you think having a goalie being your crunch is a big mistake because I feel the same way. I defend Price the way I do because I’ve hated the way this fanbase has treated goalies the entire time I’ve followed them. They’re either hero or zero and used as a meat shield so yes, I do white knight them when they’re under attack.
That was perfectly rational. You asked him why he did not like Price. He answered your question. I agree with some of it. But what I hate is the contract.you really hate the guy, it happens, but making a list of reasons doesnt make it rational.
Don't sit there and tell me that somebody downplaying Subban doesn't know hockey and then turn around telling me Price is an average goalie...I dont think Price suck , i think is an average goaltender in the league.
We signed an 84 millions dollars contract because fanboy like you and the brain dead media keep defecting the same **** that we are nothing without Price. Which is False. Price is average goalie. We never were bottomfeeder with halak, huet , theodore and the team in front was no better. Witn his new contract kicking in next year , Price will be the most overated and overpaid player in the whole league. And to people like guy and nhl91 that say that other goaltenders will sign similar contract to Price's term are speaking non sense. Future will tell you really have a poor understanding of the reality of todays NHL
You tell me.
Is it Lindgrens fault or not ?
This is the sort of pro Price post I detest. Emo bullying. And not just from you. It's almost creepy and cult like. At least argue his case.Seriously man, you have a problem...you are fixated on Price, and you have given new meaning to the word fanatic....he must have eaten your sandwich or something....he is our best player, and you don't seem to be able to deal with it...
Just wow....
What exactly needs to be argued here? He's been a top five Vezina finalist in four of the last six seasons he's been healthy and was over .930 in the season where he was knocked out. He's done this consistently on bottom third teams and consistently gotten them to 100 point seasons. He's ranked in the top five players in the league on the latest TSN player list and he's considered the best goalie in the game.This is the sort of pro Price post I detest. Emo bullying. And not just from you. It's almost creepy and cult like. At least argue his case.
I dont know i dont watch AHL games and i dont pretent i am either.
However you saw him just as well as I did in the NHL.

No, damage control is coming in and pretending like you haven't been wrong for the last seven years.They’re not even here to debate, they’re just here to do some damage control
Not surprised youre dodging the question.
You kept citing Prices under .900 sv% to point out he sucked, so why the double standard ?
Not anymore. Price is putting paid to that idea right now.Find one quote where I said that. That’s a bunch of crap, if you’re going to call me out, atleast get it right. I haven’t defended his contract once, quite the opposite. But since you brought up the subject, Rinne took up around the same amount of Price’s contract percentage when it was signed and so did Lundqvist. So just going by history, other teams will sink that much cap into a goalie. Don’t try and make me look like a bad guy because I stick up for one of our best players. “Fanboys” aren’t the reason Price got signed to a ridiculous contract. A management that felt he could save his and all his buddies jobs did.
You can't even differentiate between dislike of Price and dislike of the contract. Some Price supporters here are doing him no favours.You could switch any of the top 10-15 goaltenders and the difference would be minimal in today’s game with the way systems are played. But that doesn’t discredit Price from being one of the best at his position, excluding this season where he’s been a inconsistent mess.

They’re either hero or zero and used as a meat shield so yes, I do white knight them when they’re under attack.
Almost 2 years ago I said that if Price gets over 9.5, he will get roasted unless he played like a god or close to. I never thought he would get 8 years also, and an idiotic instant NMC.You could switch any of the top 10-15 goaltenders and the difference would be minimal in today’s game with the way systems are played.

No, damage control is coming in and pretending like you haven't been wrong for the last seven years.
Reasonable people can disagree on the value of his contract. Reasonable people can talk about him being in decline or having a bad year or disappointment in his play. That's all fine and good. But when I read people trying to re-litigate how well he's played over the years then it should be dismissed as nonsense.You can't even differentiate between dislike of Price and dislike of the contract. Some Price supporters here are doing him no favours.
Wrong about Halak. And you still haven't let it go.Wrong about what?
Find me such pictures from Crosby.
It is the basis of my earlier argument that GREAT players... are more often than not guys who have all the talent in the world but also work hard. This is not the 70ies anymore.
EDIT:
BTW, if you get caught in 2008-10 in pictures like that at the very beginning of the smart phone era... that means those events weren't exactly rare.
More useless emo. I could not care less that you are mad at nasty people. Argue the case for Price and his contract. Again, you are not helping Price with posts like these.You could switch any of the top 10-15 goaltenders and the difference would be minimal in today’s game with the way systems are played. But that doesn’t discredit Price from being one of the best at his position, excluding this season where he’s been a inconsistent mess.

Wrong about Halak. And you still haven't let it go.
Price's play this year is rapidly ensuring that Bob and Holtby will not be signing such a contract. It may well become an infamous outlier.I can't wait for Bob and Holtby new contract so people will stop acting like Price deal is a Gomez-like deal ( like they did back he signed his 6.5m deal).
Once again, thanks for proving my point.Its funny you’re mentioning this now, Halak looks like hes doing a comeback.
We’ll see. In the playoffs i would definitly take Halak over Price 100 times out of 100
Once again, thanks for proving my point.
