Carey Price Tops All Time Wins List for Canadiens



315 wins later, he is on top. Does he need a Cup ring to be seen as the greatest?

  1. one of those 2 lost was in Vancouver too, wasn't that fun when the Canucks ends the Habs winning steak to start the season?

  2. If he didn’t have a horrible defence structure in front of him, most of this wouldn’t even be a discussion. Guys like Vasy and Rinne get praised when they have the best defence in the league in front of them. When Price has had actual defence cores (ex. International play) he has been unstoppable.

  3. Lmao people saying he’s the best goalie in the league 😂😂. It’s like u don’t even watch Vasi in Tampa Bay Lightning.

  4. 😀👍Félicitations Carey!
    Que votre prochain jalon soit une coupe Stanley!

    (Congratulations Carey!
    May your next milestone be a Stanley Cup!)

  5. unfortunately, he will never be considered one of the greatest until he wins a cup. I am hoping it will be sooner rather than later. Still belongs in HOF imo.

  6. I think he's a 1st ballot HHOF member, no question. The HOF is about individual achievement – Price achieved all that he has achieved so far with mediocre teams in front of him. Can you imagine how bad Montreal's results would have been if they'd kept Halak and traded Price (even if they got a decent player in return)? All his lack of Cups proves is that a goaltender alone cannot win a Cup under most circumstances (I think had he not gotten injured vs. the Rangers there, the Habs would have played in the Final, but I doubt they would have won). Cups are hard to get these days…using them as a metric for success and Hall-of-Fame membership now, as they were used in the past, when there were 6, or 12, or 18, or 21 teams…it's ludicrous. Plus, parity means that many elite players will put up incredible numbers over the majority of their careers without winning a Cup, and if they're lucky they get rented to a Cup contender who actually goes on to win. Look at the Sedin twins…no Cups. But I think they get into the HOF (both have Art Ross trophies, Henrik has a Hart, Daniel has a Ted Lindsay award)…and I think Price will too, Cup or no Cup. Because they were the best in the world at times. And because all 3 have Olympic gold medals (which shows you what Price can do on a powerhouse team, akin to those '50s/'70s Habs teams that Plante/Dryden played for…he was DOMINANT, 2 shutouts in the last 2 games without a lot of goal support). Plus, Price was pretty dominant in the 2016 World Cup, in which he helped Canada to a gold medal (ironically facing Halak in the final!). Hall of fame membership isn't just for NHL achievements after all.

  7. I know that I'm comparing apples to oranges here but the 15-16 season when Price got hurt it reminds me of when Peyton Manning was sidelined with his neck injury during the 2011 NFL season where both teams couldn't overcome that loss of not having their best player playing the season

  8. I saw the highlight of Price stopping Ovechkin.  Ovi couldn't believe it, and congratulated Price on an amazing stop.  Price does play great.  Very few goalies are capable of making that stop on Ovi.

  9. thats the kind of record that can be impressive or not depending of the team.. The habs being an original team of the NHL with all the success they had, thats pretty damn impressive!

  10. You don't need defense and goaltending. Just go out and outscore the other team, just ask Patrick Roy. I mean 9 goals in 1 game, he was obviously the problem!!

  11. I think Carey Price's statistics remind me of the Konami code. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, ect…

  12. The so called Canadian hockey media has a tendency at times of overeating Price!! But still he's a fantastic goalie who has been unlucky with regards to the teams that's he played on & the amount of times that he has missed because of injury.

  13. Ducks in the background but no Sharks? hahahahaha. I’m waiting to see all the pissed off people when they don’t see there team on your set. Great channel man.

  14. No GAA stat because it's more of a team stat? Aren't wins and loses more of a team stat…clearly?

  15. I loved his acceptance speech for the Hart Trophy. He means so much to indigenous hockey players around Canada. For the past 7 or 8 years young goalies have been modeling their games after his cool, calm, and collected style. He is a superstar. His injury in 2015 absolutely did affect his game, and I still believe it was an intentional play by Kreider but I'm over that and I think Price is too.

    Early this season he looked like the same goalie from last year and I thought he was done. But he just keeps working his way slowly back to form. He literally never talks about his own game when asked about a win or a loss, it's always the team. When you look at the treatment Price got from the fans from 2008 onward, when he got booed loudly in the playoffs against Boston, booed in the pre-season in 2012, and written off last year as damaged goods, it takes a really strong person to overcome all of that and still wear a Montreal Canadiens jersey with pride. He's pretty much the undisputed Captain of the Habs and I'm so happy to have seen him play for them.

  16. Man say what you will but if a goalie never drops below .900 that's a good sign. Potentially a great sign. I know .900 itself isn't much of a stat but over the course of a decade+ in a top league? That's a goalie that is reliable to the finish.

    Unless you're Montreal xD

  17. Halak is still better than Price 9 years later ! Look at the stats ! Price is the losingest goalie in Montreal history !
