Lundqvist - Carey Price

[mattihp]

The point mattihp is making I'm pretty sure is, that there's a rivalry of Fin/Swede and even as a Fin, mattihp is still picking Henrik.

At least that's how I took it.

Me too.

I love when people compare Price's stats to other goalies who had far better teams in front of them.

And the time they played for a medal?

I would have won behind a stacked team Canada.

Lundqvist in 06 was what won the gold medal for Sweden. With better coaches he would have had more golds.

Vezina finalist: 5-2
Top 5: 7-4
Top 10: 10-7

It's clearly Lundqvist. Price is one of the most overrated players in recent times.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Lundqvist is Swedish.. Not Finnish. There's a difference.

He's saying that even though Finns would have a reason to dislike Lundqvist because of the Swede/Finn rivalry, he still votes Lundqvist because it's that clear of a margin. LOL at you telling a guy who is saying he's Finnish that there's a difference. Pretty sure he knows.

Oh, good. I was wondering if the strong team narrative applied to both goalies or just when Price won.

 

[Doctyl]

This is revisionist history.
Ovi scored 53 goals lmao “no competition for the Hart”

Lmao no it isn’t. The art Ross winner wasn’t even nominated for the Hart. It was a joke of a season

Your point being?

Lundqvist’s teams were far better?

 

[Frank Drebin]

Your point being?

Using their 2 head to head matchups in the playoffs (one where price was injured) is not a fair comparison, because, as you pointed out, the quality of team in front of the goalie has an effect on the outcome.
