Holtby best remaining goalie in the playoffs

[sycamore]

Price is down 0-3 in his series and Holtby has outdueled Lundquist in 3 of 4 games, including tonights game where he made a spectacular save on a penalty shot.

He's the best remaining goalie in the playoffs. I expect all of you to come and pay your respects.

Henrik and Price are still better, IMHO.

Holtby has been excellent so far, though.

 

[BusQuets]

Between him and Henrik. Price is doing his usual playoff choke and there aren't any elite goalies left in West.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Who would of guessed it!?

He's played great! But yeah, Price and Lundqvist are still better (or I'd choose them over Holtby) --- but he's really proving this year that he's a great goalie. Good for him and the Caps.

 

[Algernop Kreider]

Karl Alzner & co. are the best goalie remaining in the playoffs. It seems like the Rangers are getting a shot blocked for every one on net.

Does the west no longer compete in the same playoffs as the east now?

Can't even give Holtby his props.

Nah bro, it's Bishop.

Just watch. Bishop is floating under the radar but is a key reason that Montreal is down 0-3.

 

[flamesforcup*]

Holtby has definatly outplayed lundquist and price by a mile in these playoffs. Can anyone say conn smyth?

 

[DylanSensFan]

I would argue that Bishop, Price and Lundqvist are all as good or better than Holtby.

 

[Algernop Kreider]

Holtby deserves his props, especially after that save on Hagelin. That said, this performance by the NYR offense has been pathetic. It's like these guys have never tried to shoot on NHL defensemen before.

 

[LSnow]

Hes not. Hes average/above average like Crawford.

 

[sycamore]

Nah bro, it's Bishop.

Just watch. Bishop is floating under the radar but is a key reason that Montreal is down 0-3.

LOL yeah ok. Holtby is stonewalling one of the best teams in the league while Bishop is going up against that "vaunted" Montreal offence.

But whatever you say.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Love the way Holtby is playing right now, but The King is still the man. Even now playing against my beloved Caps it is a joy to watch him work his magic.

 

[kihei]

I think he will be by the Conference finals. Though his defense is doing an excellent job of clearing rebounds, he has been calm and steady as can be and made the big safe when it was needed.

 

[AINEC*]

Price is in playoff mode, so right now it's between Holtby and Lundqvist. Both are playing great.

 

[illpucks]

I've watched all of his games. He is great. But Lundqvist is the better goalie in the series, not close. He has made so many godly saves that I doubt he is human. Despite the series standing, Lundqvist is playing out of his mind.

Lightning had no business in game 3 but Bishop got them 3-0 (Johnson also of course).

 

[kmart]

does not matter how he playes, an above average goalie in montreal will be in the spotlights, the same goes for a goalie in ny.
(i dont actually mean price and hank with average goalies)

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Price is doing his usual playoff choke

The team in front of him is choking.

Does the west no longer compete in the same playoffs as the east now?

Sure, but there isn't a single team in the east which would trade its goaltender for any in the west.

Not close? Well that's just silly. I mean, there's a big argument for Lundy, of course, but of course it's close at least.

Game 3 for instance. Holtby held the fort. But most of the shots were low percentage chances. Lundqvist on the other hand did the floating elevator on Johanssen to prevent a sure goal, a remarkable kick save on the Ovi chance. Today, he was down and out, and Ward elevated the puck and Lundqvist sticks up the blocker on the goal line. The caliber of saves that Lundqvist is making is at a higher level.

Yeah but he made a save on a late 3rd period penalty shot. If that isn't clutch I don't know what is.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Where does he rank? Don't know, don't care. All I know is he's been awesome and the Caps are playing smart hockey.

 

[illpucks]

You are talking about game 4 (today). Game 3 was the game before. The penalty shot happened today. My quote was about game 3.
