Some people in this thread are gonna be mad when Price gets into the HoF on his first ballot easily
If Fleury gets in already the standards may be lowered. But the HOF on goalies has been very rigid before and it would take a change for it to happen.Some people in this thread are gonna be mad when Price gets into the HoF on his first ballot easily
He should be a first ballot hall of famer but that doesnt mean he isnt overrated.Some people in this thread are gonna be mad when Price gets into the HoF on his first ballot easily

His 2013-2016 peak years might be the 2nd best ever, behind Hasek.
Without his injury in 2015 in the ECF, he might have carried an average to below average team to the Stanley Cup.
He has suck in the last 2 years, but his place in the HoF is already set in stone.
Well once Guy Carbonneau got in I pretty much assumed the requirements to be a hall of famer have become "have a pulse".Some people in this thread are gonna be mad when Price gets into the HoF on his first ballot easily
Holy crap what a hot take
I exclude anything before ‘95 because of the lack of comparability, and lower caliber of goaltending. I didn’t find any better 3 years stretch honestly regular season wise. Happy to admit I was wrong if you show me one.
.927
.933 (1,96 GAA)
.934 (12 games only)
.923
pretty awesome 200 games stretch right there at .928
Brodeur, Luongo, Lundqvist, Thomas, Rask, Holtby...they don’t have a better 200 game stretch using SV%. Thomas comes closest at .927.
Of course Brodeur and Luongo amongst other were more consistent over their career and better goalies.

I mean...It's kind of an issue now.
Well for starters you said 2nd best ever..... and then proceeded to omit nearly 80 years of NHL history.
SV% isn't the only metric to use by the way.
Overall, these are just as comparable -
Brodeur 2002-2007
Thomas 2007-2011
Luongo 2003-2008
Lundqvist 2010-2014
Kiprusoff 2003-2008
*1995-Present Only*
Some goalies still were very good and played up and beyond their competition, which is exactly how to judge them. You judge them by their comparable and SV% is far in away not an objective or best measure.Goalies were not very good back then. People say it’s the most improved position in all sports in the last decades for a reason.
SV% is the more objective measure. Best stat to evaluate performance no doubt.
It’s a debatable take, but not as “hot” as you think. It’s not like I said he was the 2nd best ever.

Why is the HHOF much more strict for goalies than it is for skaters? Seems like a goalie has to have a cup win and be the top 3 at the position for a significant time to get in while skaters don't really need that. I don't see how Sundin is much more deserving of induction than Price.
As a Leafs fan, i kind of feel bad for Carey Price (not the habs) The best years of your hockey career wasted with your teams number 1 center being David Desharnais

We've been seeing the beginning of the decline of a very good goalie in Carey Price for the last few years, but now we are truly seeing where this may end up going. It won't be pretty, but it typically isn't.
Price was touted as the perfect goalie prospect. And while he has had some highs, he clearly never reached the all time great status. He'll never be on a level with the best of this generation of goalies.
Goalies like Henrik Lundqvist, Marc-Andre Fleury, Tuukka Rask, and Pekka Rinna are the cream of the crop over the last 15 years. He's just never sustained the level of play long enough to be in this group.
He's beginning to be in a group with guys like Braden Holtby, Sergei Bobrovsky, and Jonathan Quick. Guys that had too short of a peak to be more than very good.
The one time you thought he would have his chance in 2014, and his own player went and took him out of the series, it was such a shame. He's never had a chance since then, and some of that lays at his own feet.
Maybe he can have another run in him, but this is looking more of the beginning of the end than a blip on the radar.
Carey making a fool out of the thread starter.Bumping for lolz
Carey proving the haters wrong!
