Does he?why are you telling me that?
Price does have the better playoff numbers, though.
Rinne under 910 SV% in 4 of his last 5 playoff runsDoes he?

Oh, my bad, for some reason I thought you were talking about Lundqvist. I agree that Price has been better than Rinne in the playoffs.Rinne under 910 SV% in 4 of his last 5 playoff runs
Price over 919 SV% in 5 of his last 6
Rinne had the much better D too.... That said Rinne had the best single playoff run
You serious?
Lundqvist has an Olympic Gold Medal, multiple Vezinas, and a Stanley Cup appearance. His peak is arguably better than Price
Edit- Wow looks like i was wrong about multiple Vezinas. I could have sworn he won it more than once.
In the end, despite the teams around them - stats, awards, results and voting matters in judging a player.
The problem when it comes to Price is that there has been a narrative pushed over the last 5 or so years by his supporters and grabbed definitly by the media that stats don't tell the story on Price. That he just needed a capable backup to retain his form. That stats don't say everything - Just look how CALM he is in net. That this year will be different because he finally has a top 5 defence in front of him.
Despite awful showings, poor results and 3 seasons with bottom of the barrel starting goalie stats the maintained push up until recently is that he was still a top goalie in the league.
Price became a star, and then somehow managed to become the first player I've ever seen to maintain that image and reputation despite everything showing he was not. If McDavid posted a healthy 40 point season he would quickly be surplanted as the best player. Let alone 4 straight.
Price posting bad numbers isn’t the equivalent of McDavid posting bad numbers. Goaltending is a specialized position. You can’t compare the two because they’re vastly different things.
Consistency.I think that Carey Price has already cemented himself as one of the great goalies of his generation.
I'm really not sure what Henrik Lundqvist or Pekka Rinne have done that put them on a higher tier than Price...
I understand that goalie stats are different than player stats. What I am stating is that if McDavid's stats for multiple seasons dipped to substandard levels that the concensus would be that he was no longer a star player, let alone best in the league.
For Price despite multiple statistically bad seasons many still held him in the star category and even still discussed as the best goalie amongst the media.
