Price is a finalist, it was announced a long time ago.

He was a vezina nominee last season...

So much negativity around here. The sky is not falling, the core is still very young yet we finished with 110pts for 2nd in the east and lost in the 2nd round to a great team that could easily win it all. Montreal is definitely heading in the right direction, you people need some patience.

Tampa a great team?!? We dominated them and couldnt score....Rangers dominating and cant score yet. Tampa is hardly elite...our lack of scoring really ****ed us. And our coach and GM have no clue how to fix it!!!

Some of you have reading comprehension problems. He said he beat Detroit and the MVP (Carey Price). And it's no secret Price is the MVP.

Yes, Tampa great team! They were slated to be one of the top teams in the East at the start of the season by just about everyone (ahead of the Habs) and they didn't disappoint. They're the top scoring team in the league with depth and solid D and goaltending to boot. I wouldn't say the Habs dominated them, they played quite well against them, better than most expected considering how TB manhandled them during the season. Which, BTW, is a GOOD thing.

I just found Friedman said it so casually. 'He beat the MVP, he doesn't get the credit he deserves.'.....It was probably just an opinion but his conviction was though he knew, and he'd be in the know.

Watching the pre-game for Rangers/TB and Elliott Friedman began talking about how Ben Bishop doesn't get enough respect and said along the lines of

"He took care of Detroit and he beat the MVP, I just don't think he gets the credit he deserves'

I am paraphrasing but does Friedman get a vote? Is it voted by the journalists of the GM's?

Yes, Friedman has a vote, and yes, he knows everyone else who has a vote. Just by talking with them through the course of work, he may have pieced together that a majority has voted Price. I mean, half the Sportsnet crew had a vote (him, Kipper and MacLean for sure, probably more), so he'd probably know at least their votes right off the bat. I think he already admitted on air that he voted for Price, so it could just be his opinion as well, though.

If Bishop gets the Hart...I give up on this league....

Votes are already in. Tavares, OV and Price finished top 3 in voting. We just don't know what order yet.

It will probably be Price by a pretty comfortable margin. The guy was a freaking superhero this year.

Whitesnake · May 18, 2015

Seems that he had a back problem. And should have taken some timeout but we wanted the ice advantage and didn't give him the necessary rest. Enough with that. Nobody should care about ice advantage anymore. Rest your goalie. If you can't, it means that your backup sucks. Get a better backup.

Look at how a rested Lundqvist plays right now.

Jabba11 · May 18, 2015

Always thought that Budaj was doing a good job as a backup.

Mike Therrien for you

I'm by no means a Mike Therrien apologist, but in his defense, Price was having a record breaking year and maybe he argued to be played that much to clean up as much as he could. Heck a cynical view could be that he knew the team in front of him wouldn't make it out of the east, so, might as well collect as much hardware and records as possible in the regular season. I just don't think this one you can entirely blame on MT. There are enough other problems that can be, so, there's no shortage.

Price had a back injury? Probably cause he carried the Habs all year long, amirite?

Yeah, and probably also Subban bowling him over clumsily at the end of the season.

I knew when I saw that happen that Price was injured. His play dipped after that, and the way he was after the impact just screamed bad news.

Hictor Vedman* · May 19, 2015

Price is absolutely deserving of the Hart.

Where was this reported?

Mrb1p · May 19, 2015

I wonder where he will place after the award ceremony on an all-time list.
I have to think he gets in on the top 30 of goaltenders, maybe even 20 ?

Edit: HOH had Lu, Thomas and Lundqvist at 34-35-37... He probably makes the top 40 then, just behind those guys ?

Don't think Bishop beat Price to be honest. Tampa just has better forwards than can actually score on A grade scoring chances. We do not.

Bishop is so overrated it's unreal.

Montreal also turned the puck over to Bishop on probably somewehre around 75% of their possessions.

That's what happens when you have a predictable dump and chase system with a coach who cannot/will not adapt.

Vote for Carey! TSN play of the year

He's been winning for a while, but last night he lost the lead.

Vote as much as you can (you can vote more than once): http://poy.tsn.ca/5-nhl2015/match/200-price-vs-nyquist

What does that have to do with anything?

If you have time for a pointless reply, you have a couple seconds to vote
