Price has enough apologists. I refuse to vote for him because 1 great season is not enough, and he was never in the conversation as the best guy outside of that one year. People still act like he had some Brodeur level career when really he was just a guy who maintained his best hot streak for one whole season. Tired of hearing about this overrated chump.
Now this is certainly a take…. Price was consistently a top goalie and played in front of really bad or mediocre Montreal teams. This coming from a leaf fan.I only voted for Quick and MAF. Hard to argue against those guys.
Rinne and Beezer both seem close to me, they have the highs for sure but not the consistency.

was the best player on the best team of all time in the 2014 olympicsPrice never won anything, so hall of great for him.
Didn't he win a trophy only a few goalies have won?Price never won anything, so hall of great for him.

I don't see what Cujo's claim is. He had a couple pretty good years, but never won a thing. Never even made a post season all star team to my recollection.To get in the Hall you apparently need to play your career on a juggernaut or play for the Montreal Canadiens. One or the other (both is impossible).
So Fleury, Quick, and Price.
(In actuality I think CuJo and Bob have equally good claims).
Fleury was a net negative for the Pens in the playoffs for years so that should disqualify him.
Fleury leading the poll?
Why oh why do people want to put people in the HOF for being mediocre but for a very, very, long time?
The dude almost single handedly got the Pens kicked out of the playoffs multiple times and had to be replaced by his backup in the playoffs in what should have been the prime of his career.
He was never anything better than an average goalie he just happens to have stuck around for a real long time so his career win totals are high. His Vezina came in a season where he played 36 games.
Stop watering down the HOF with extended mediocrity. If you were never top 5 at your position for multiple years please stay away.
He's the Patrick Marleau of goalies.
