Jesus Christ is Pacioretty allowed to say anything without you guys criticizing him? Like really him complimenting another player is now news worthy. This season can't end soon enough.
Price is > Quick, so of course that would be seen as a slight. But Doughty is > Subban so I don't see this as an accurate comparison.
Is that so ? I really don't think it's that clear cut. I see two different players on two vastly different teams.
I wonder how Subban would look on the kings, and how Doughty would look on the habs and how perceptions would change if their situations were reversed.
As for Price > Quick. Quick did win the most prestigious individual award a player can win while Price hasn't. Price's one amazing season pitted against Quick's Conn Smythe and 2 cups. I think it's really hard to make such clear cut demarcations between players at the top.

Price is a much better goaltender than Quick. As you just said with Subban and Doughty, two different teams.
He's playing poorly, he's not physical, he's not offering intangibles, he's not a good passer, he's been captain during this unbelievable and infuriating collapse... He deserves a lot more criticism, he's embarrassing out there.
Snipers shouldn't be captains. I wonder why our "brain" trust didn't figure...
The players voted him as captain.

I would like to see Price be as dominant in the post season as he's been in the last regular season. But for a multitude of reasons, not all of them team related, we haven't seen that yet. On the other hand Quick has done that. The year of their first cup, Quick almost single-handedly brought the kings to the playoffs, and then won the Conn Smythe. What kind of weight should be given to that season Quick had years ago in the evaluation that one player is better than the other ?
If you only look at last season, then yeah sure, Price>Quick. But things aren't so simple. And there's something to be said for a player who has proven he can get it done in the playoffs. I'm not saying Quick>Price, I'm just saying it's a very debatable opinion to go one way or the other. Just like for Doughty and Subban.

That's not a comparison.
Price is the best goalie in the league and is generally regarded as that through most hockey circles. PK is not the best defenseman in the league and is regarded as such throughout most hockey circles.
Then the "brain" trust shouldn't have shipped away every decent leader and honest character guy from the team.The players voted him as captain.
