Price Best All Time?

[Akhurite]

Is Carey Price's current peak higher than Roy's, Brodeur's, or even Hasek's?
He looks like he's back to his Hart trophy form, where he was known as easily the best player in the league. Has any other goalie been the regarded as the best player in the league?

Take into account that the NHL is most definitely the hardest and most skilled it's ever been.

(And before the argument of playoffs is brought in, please remember that he was playing injured in the Ottawa series a few years ago, when he's been fully healthy he's been amazing)

Well, seeing his post season performances have been crap and he's never won any Stanley Cups................I'd say no.

Holy overreaction Batman.

When has he ever been crap? and it seems you've forgotten hockey was a team sport

He's playing lights-out, no question, and he's on top of the league right now, but let's give him more than 5 games before we canonize.

Aside from Tampa, the teams he's faced (Arizona, Boston, Toronto, and Philly) haven't been great.

Doesn't come close to Hasek's 6 year span of absolute dominance of the position.

 

[Le Tricolore]

He definitely reminds me of Hasek from the mid to late 90s. Hopefully he wins a Cup soon so he can be considered among the all time best.

How about we give him 70? Oh wait, we already know how that played out

Hasek has two Hart wins, two Lindsays and six Vezinas. He was also nominated for the Hart three other times.

Hasek has two Hart wins, two Lindsays and six Vezinas. He was also nominated for the Hart three other times.

That's the polite answer

 

[Akhurite]

Hasek has two Hart wins, two Lindsays and six Vezinas. He was also nominated for the Hart three other times.

Which is why I'm saying peak. Not how long they were dominant for.

 

[FrankMTL]

Can't this be merged into the other Carey Price thread?

 

[FrozenJagrt]

That was Hasek's peak. From 94-01 he was the best goalie in the game, and certainly a top 5 or 3 player.
