I wouldnt put too much stock into the "what have you done for me lately" fansLundqvist.
Habs fans were willing to replace Price with Halak at one point.
Price all Day
All you have to Do is look how the Habs did when Price was in the line-up versus how the Habs did when Price was injured
Price did as good as Lundqvist but was also pulling all by himself some really terribad teams
Rangers were no better.... and Habs were top of their division during many of the Therrien yearsPrice all Day

Cupless goalie fight!
I go with Price because at least Habs fans didn't call him King when he didn't win anything.
Zuccarello led the Finals squad with 59 points. They emphatically did not have scoring. They had Lundqvist.I do think the Rangers at their best with Henrik were a lot better than the Habs ever were with Price.
The Rangers probably had an overrated defense (guys like Girardi were celebrated for shot blocking back in the day) and usually lacked true superstars and weren't a great possession team, but they had very good forward depth circa 2014 and 2015 and were a great counter-attack team. At least they had offense. They had guys like Brassard, Stepan, Nash, St. Louis, Kreider, Miller, Hayes, Richards, Zuccarello, Boyle, Moore. MTL had Price, Subban and Patches.
This is a weird comment to me, because you show Lundqvist having as many t3 vezina finishes as Price had t10, and then again as many 4-10 finishes. They played at the same time, so that by itself tells you, everyone knew Lundqvist was better in the moment. They voted that way basically every year but 1.Lundqvist, but both have had similar careers overall

At the age Price was when this happened, Lundqvist was still in the Elitserien.Lundqvist.
