That will happen but it's not a reason to bash all the other players in this period of time. Some players were not HOF stuff but they did played the best as they can, with their limited talent. Bash them, that's not cool for them. This is just my two cents, take it or don't take it. Cheers.

I think he’s first ballot. But we’ll see.
Definitely a lock for the HOF though. He was legit the best player in the league for a short period. If he’d been healthy in 15/16 it would have been four straight insane years. He was well on his way to another MVP that season. And he was money in the playoffs too. There’s no question he’s a HOFer.

I also think he’s a 1st ballot. He was the best goalie in the league for a while. Has a Hart trophy, Lindsay, Vezina.
He’s also got a WJC, Olympic, and World Cup of Hockey gold medal. He was named tournament MVP in 2007 and best goalie in 2014.
He’s 16-0 in those tournaments with 5 shutouts and he only let in 17 goals. That includes 2 shutouts in the final 2 Olympic Games, with Canada beating the USA 1-0, then Sweden 3-0 for the gold.
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

(Pronger - MacInnis
Stevens - Blake
Bourque - Foote

4th Place)
Price should change his spelling of his last name to Prix and you would love him!! LOL
Cheers!
From my point of view, easy easy yes.
All good just my 2 cents.

Absurd answer.
How many best player in the world for a period of more than 15 months are not in the Hall?
None.
How many vezina winners are not in the hall? Like two?
How many hart winners are not in the hall? One.
How many Lester winners are not in the Hall? None.
How many players with more than one major award are not in the hall? Two? With three? One.
Carey is a first ballot HOFer, put some respect on the best Habs player since Lafleur.

Lol, in that case, I would prefer his first name to be Grand instead of Carré.
Imagine how great his name would sound : Grand Prix
, better than Carré Prix

He was our best player in that tournament. For whatever reason we just couldn’t score that year. I remember it was really close with like Kazakhstan or something in the first round because we couldn’t get a puck past them.

People are allowed to have an opinion different than yours, crazy, isn't it?
Of course....................only makes sense.
There are people who love Trump, nuff said.
No............I think he just dispelled the notion, that anyone can win a gold medal with Team Canada...........because we know, not everyone can.......
You know the guys, who say stupid crap like wow.........even I could win a gold medal with that team in front of me....

It truly is hilarious...............I love it.
Teams mean nothing when comparing Roy and Price. Unless of course we're talking about Team Canada.... then Roy is at a disadvantage and it's "not the same thing."

From memory, I think the squad around Price was just flawless in term of style played, coaching and the opposition we faced. I remember thinking they are impossible to beat. For example Russian teams from the past were very well crafted and organized whereas during the Price era, Russians were very highly talented squads but had next to no systems and questionable coaching. They were playing like headless chicken and basically beating themselves. Of course Price was a big reason why Team Canada was invincible as well. It was just a perfect storm of coaching, system, players, goal tending, etc...and no other teams was at their level.

Canada always puts together a great team and that year was no exception.
It was crazy though, they couldn't seem to score. Even in the preliminary rounds we seemed to have a tough time of it. One game against Kahazakistan or something it was getting down the wire late in the game...
We beat the US 1-0. It was really really tight. And we had to go through Rask, Lundqvist, Quick to do it. Not an easy task by any stretch.

I love it, the biggest Price homer trying to compare Roy and Price on two different teams and acting life because they are both Team Canada that they are the same. If the poster wasn’t trying to insinuate Price is better than Roy by using the comparison then what exactly was he trying to do?
Roy >>>>>> Price and team Canada is never going to change that. I know this might be hard for his fan club to accept, but too bad. It will always be true.

I feel like Price at his best is better than Roy. I say this as someone who worshipped Roy as a child and is a little ho hum on Price in a sense. But I'm not really disagreeing here.
Roy was pretty damn consistent though from what I remember. He did generally have the benefit of better teams too. Price was too inconsistent. But again it's hard to really judge the two with the disparity of the calibre of their respective teams. Those Roy Hab teams, though unremarkable were usually rock solid from top to bottom. Can't say the same for Price.
It was like watching Vasilevsky with TB at least a couple years back. It's too hard to say whether Vasi was really the best goalie. The team in front of him was tremendous. Especially the D core. It's a bit different cuz Roy never had a team as a Hab that was anywhere near as stacked as that TB team but he had the benefit of some very solid D cores.
Says you...........................opinions are just that, remember.
Cheers.

Tell us again how we saved Price from losing us the Vegas series…
Be consistent. Either the teams they play behind matter or they don’t. The fact that you dismiss it entirely except when talking about Team Canada tells us all we need to know. It’s a hilarious contradiction on your part.
