Carey Price first goalie in NHL history to win 8 games in a row for 2 seasons

[Lilou]

yes the montreal impostors have won another game on the back of price. He is the best. They owe him the biggest contract in nhls history. I would be very afraid if he gets sick or injured. They will fold sooo quickly.

[mod] There was a time that at least 50% or more wanted Halak instead. Nothing came easy for Price in Montreal. He had to work hard for the status he has now even though he was slated as eventually becoming a great NHL goalie, he went through many tough times in a high pressure environment. The fact he was able to overcome that shows just how much character he has. For all that I tip my hat off to him. Hes a great athelete and you need to have followed him to really appreciate just how much he is a cut above the rest.

pffffff he got the 2nd star.. Someone's sleeping.. A franco got the 1st, of course.. héhé

Sure there are but this thread isnt about that. Its about a guy that hasnt always had it easy in Montreal. There was a time that at least 50% or more wanted Halak instead. Nothing came easy for Price in Montreal.

Indeed. Most other players have it easy and get everything handed to them on a silver platter

 

[Daniels45]

9 wins in a row now

 

[Cursed Lemon]

Ah yes, that mythical bar.

50 in 50, the 200-point season...and winning eight games in a row for two seasons.

I never said that....but if you knew what Price went through here, you would not say that. There are not many teams in the NHL that go through as much media attention and preasure that the Habs go through.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

There's a reason why he's considered the best player in the league.

Price definitely is not.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Very odd record...

 

[Kunta Kinte]

Price definitely is not.

He is by a far margin. Probably up there with Maurice Richard, Wayne Gretzky and Bobby Orr.


ATG.

Makes it look so easy. I think Habs have their best home start since 1953 or something crazy like that. But it's not how you start it's how you finish, and they're a pretty good team in front of him but there's still a lot of work to be done there. They really need to go all in at the trade deadline this year imo. As long as Price is healthy and playing like this their window is open.

 

[znk]

Doesn't seem that crazy. Seems crazier that this hasn't been done before.

The actual record they mentioned is "First goalie to start 2 consecutive seasons with 8 wins in a row"

In the way that he has an enormous positive impact on his team.

 

[Jackpot Jaret]

fake record he should have come in for al montoya and be a man

Losing 5-0, or 10-0, whats the difference?

Why would they put in Price when they are guaranteed at that point to lose? That would risk an injury to Price for no reason

Do you know how things work?

Yep....wasnt able to find a way to say that in the title without running out of room LOL

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Oh and Price is apparently 12-0-0 in his last 12 starts since last year.

 

[AINEC*]

Why do people keep shooting the puck at him?

 

[uncleben]

Carey is one of the most overrated goalies I have ever seen in the big leagues. Somehow he always seems to luck out and win against the Leafs but hopefully Matthews will score be able to score a few dozen hat-tricks on him in the years to come.

Carey is probably the best goalie who started their career this side of the year 2000.

 

[izzy]

If this were Quick or Bishop, hfboards would congratulate

But since it's a Montreal player, there's no merit, like always

Are you kidding

People praise Price constantly and seem to like him a lot more than those other 2.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He's even better than he was in 2014-2015

 

[Jigger77]

Why do people keep shooting the puck at him?

They don't. He just makes it look easy.

With Price the Habs are practically the best team in the league. Without him they're not even a playoff team. He's at a Hasek level of goaltending right now.

But I think they might be wrong. From what I have checked he had 7 in a row last season.

He's 21-3 over his last 24 excluding preseason. 26-3 if you add the WC.

If he is not injured, the Vezina, the Hart, and the Lindsay will be his again.

HF wants Price to fail really really badly, unfortunately he cant. 1 player allows Habs fans to be cocky.
