Player Discussion Carey Price: Best Player in the NHL - The Award Winning Edition (!)

[Gamimenos]

I remember an interview he had a few seasons ago and he stated "I honestly believe I can win a Stanley Cup". Yup Carey, I honestly believe you can too...

If he sweeps the Vezina/Hart/Lindsay again this year then that'll start putting him in the conversation with some of the best goalies of all time.

If he pulls off something ridiculous like Vezina/Hart/Lindsay/Smythe for my money he's only behind guys like Hasek/Roy and ahead of guys in the next tier like Brodeur who while would have better longevity stats, would have never reached a level of dominance Price would hypothetically have.

I'd agree with that. Hasek is the only goalie in history to win more than one Hart so even if Price gets that and the Vezina/Lindsay but not the Smythe, it'll put him in the top-10 at worst, maybe even conversation for top 5.

Breaking Brodeur's win record would also be huge for his legacy. Being the only goalie to ever win 50 games would be an incredible accomplishment. I'm not sure if it's possible, but say he gets 66 starts like he did in 2014-15, that's going 40-16 the rest of the way which is very tough, but not impossible.

They've already said that they wanna keep him around 60 games. So far this season he has played 62.5% of the games, he'll need to play 83.5% of the remaining games to get to 66 starts this season. Seems a bit much even if he remains 100% healthy.

Yeah the early season flu hurt him a bit.

What else can we say?

He's the greatest. On another level completely. A joy and honour to watch.

There's one thing that says everything about Carey Price.

If you go to any other teams board, they all lose hope once we get a 2 goal lead.

Same with the players. Just look at that face Carter made when they scored on the PP (I know their PP sucks and it was part of it). But the amount of respect he gets outside of Montreal is insane.
