Career so far: Bobrovsky vs Price

[jetsforever]

Which goalie has had a better career so far? Both have had some great regular seasons but neither has had much playoff success.

Bobrovsky: 2X first-team All-Star, 2x Vezina, 1X Hart finalist
Price: 1X first-team All-Star, 1x Vezina, 1x Hart, 1x Pearson, 1x Jennings, 1X Vezina finalist

Essentially Price had a higher peak but won all of his awards in that one season.

22 more wins in playoff is not something you can ignore completely.

Price for me.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Price rather easily for one season peak and playoff performance

Bobrovsky, this is not even close when you factor in Price's contract which is also a part of his career considering he took that money.

Price is so overrated it's crazy, guy isn't even 920 for his career (918%) meanwhile Bob is at 923.

Lol you can't hold someone taking money against them. What was he supposed to do, demand less? You would be a fool to do so at the prime of your career.

Second of all. Bob has a career .920. if you compare that with .918 it's basically negligible that means you give up an extra 2 goals every 1000 shots on goal.

Outside of a better 2nd best season, Price has the better resume throughout their careers

Bob's third best season was last year, when he again led the league in goals saved above average, which takes into account shot quality. Some of the stats community were pushing Bob for Vezina #3.

Price, he also has a more impressive international resume with wins at the WJC, Olympics, and World Cup

That's cheap to bring up international team victories, Price is behind the most op forward group and defense in the world.

Canada's the best for sure, but Russia aren't scrubs either

Price AINEC

Bobrovsky is so overrated.

 

[alexgreeen]

Bob easy, Price most overrated player

 

[major major]

It's really kind of close on their careers.

To be fair to both of them, you can leave out the years before 2011 when Bobrovsky wasn't yet in the league and Price was still developing. They've had a similar proportion of great years, good years, and bad injury filled years since then.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Definitely Bobrovsky

 

[tony d]

Carey Price.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Can’t argue with a hart and Lindsay

 

[Claypool]

When it's all said and done Bobrovsky will have a better career.

 

[Sombastate]

I have Bob by a hair

If i also considered where i expect the next few seasons to be, but of course, i'm not a soothsayer and could be wrong. I think this time, two years from now, Bob will definitely be ahead of him careerwise

 

[Leonhard Euler]

Price had better career so far I guess. Bob's .891 through 24 play off games should not be overlooked when we look at their careers.
Bob is the better goalie though in my opinion so I'm sure eventually he'd end up higher. The current state of Habs is not something that will make it easier on Price in coming years.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I'd pick Carey Price, but Bob is amazing too.
Can't go wrong with either of them.

Why on earth would you factor in contract for a player's career performance?

That's as dumb as the hate Toews gets for making 10 million. Poor logic.

 

[pheasant]

It's close. Anyone saying it's clearly one guy over the other is crazy.

I think Price is the better goalie. But Bob has had a "better" career so far, and that's the question.

Bobrovsky.

 

[cowgirlcath]

Price has had the better career so far. Don't like his game more than Bob's right now though.

And last year was a weak year for goalies. It wasn't any better than Price in '17, '14 or '11

 

[NyQuil]

When it comes to head-to-head goalie performances, I'm always interested in which guys go deep when it counts.

An superlative goalie performance is perfectly capable to win a few rounds.

Three first round exits to me keeps Price on top for now, and even he needs a better playoff resume.

It's still pretty close. Bob seems to have the better opportunity going forward.
