Carey price will tie Ken Dryden for 3rd spot overall in game played

[93nostalgic]

Carey Price might only be starting to get into his prime but he's already sitting at 4th overall in habs history for games played. Next time he plays, he will tied Ken Dryden at 397.

If he averages about 60 games a year, he will be really close to passing #2 Patrick Roy (552) and #1 (Jacques Plante) in 2 years (120 games or so). In 3 years, at around 30, he could be the all-time leader in games played for the habs.

Assuming he plays until 35-37 years old with the habs (another 8-10 years), he will be ahead of anybody with leaps and bounds.

Not so bad...

I'm not sure where you're from but here in Montreal we count numbers of Cups. Even if Carey plays 1000 games he won't get his number retired unless he's a Cup winner.

The experience he already has is impressive.

Scary to think that Dryden managed to win as many cups as he did in such a short career all while taking a year off for law school on top of it.

That's an old way of thinking. With 30 teams in a salary cap era, it's unfair and unrealistic to only measure success based on winning the Stanley Cup.

I'll be thrilled if Price can help us win even one cup.

I think he's gonna take down brodeurs wins record.

Carey is something special and people are only starting to see it. To think a good chunk of fans booed him and wanted him gone makes me sick.

I hope he breaks Jacques Plante's record.

This isn't 1978 anymore.

Warrants a Pre-Game Ceremony!

Congrats Price !

Brodeur's win record is unbreakable.

He is on the doorstep of 700.

Untouchable.

He'll likely finish #1 in GP and wins, plus if he can win one or two Vezinas to go with that he deserves to have his number retired, cup or no cup.

It's beatable. A lot of goalies will have 300+ wins entering 30(goalie prime) so many will come close, someone will eventually beat it.

Stop the lie-Dryden took year off because Pollock would not give him a pay raise-Do your home work guys.In Dressing room Ken was not a popular guy-hardly ever spoke and was a loner

 

[Hackett]

Crazy...

What this tells me more than anything is how fast time flies. It doesn't seem that long ago that the habs drafted Price, yet he is already 3rd all time in games played on the oldest team in the league.

 

[Andrei79]

Can't believe he didn't get the Vezina last year. If he doesn't get it this year the league is a joke!

That like 99.999% of all goalers you just described.

Hard to argue that Rinne doesn't deserve it right now.

Unfortunately true

Rinne should be the front runner for the Hart at this stage. His numbers are freaking ridiculous.

From a league wide perspective it would be hard to justify giving Carey the Vezina this year... So far anyways.

Carey is an awesome goaltender, but his numbers just don't justify it... So far anyways.

Correct,not going to happen this year unless he goes on a tear like 25-5, .935, 1.95

And very cheap when it came to paying a meal or a drink. Hehehe.

It's beatable. A lot of goalies will have 300+ wins entering 30(goalie prime) so many will come close, someone will eventually beat it.

Especially with the inflated win numbers (SO wins).

It won't be easy, but it can be broken.

 

[PsychoticHab]

Right now, it has to be Rinne, Fleury, and Crawford. Hell, even Luongo is in the mix this year.

 

[Analyzer*]

He, or the team around him have played worse this year than last year. Like mentioned above, Rinne/Fleury are ahead of him.

So, tonight's game he ties for 3rd ?
