Carey Price. If I have ever seen a player glorified from pure hype, is this guy. He did great in junior, was drafted high to a team with a history of great goalies, and has been labeled as an elite goalie since they drafted him. His stats are bad, have been bad this year, and his career stats are bad. Everytime I check it seems he ranks at the bottom of the league (25th-35th) in GAA and save%, and even more backing my point is his playoffs stats are even worse then his regular season stats... Most goalies playoff stats are better then their regular season. Last year the Have blocked more shots for their goalie then any other league, and this year I believe are on the same path with having the two defensemen with the most blocked shots of any team so far this year. As far as Olympics go, he had great numbers, but so would have any goalie, as this team Canada put on perhaps the best defensive performance of all time, building their team that way from the beggining with players like Vlasic and Boumeester playing over statements...PK Soupcan, and superstar forwards sacrificing points to concentrate on their defensive game. I'm just curious, am I the only one that feels he is the most overrated player in the game?? Or am I going to get bombarded with replies stating how crazy I am and how good he truely is, with nothing to back their statements...

As a hab fan u surely got sum valid points on CP. This guy makes u be proud to be a fan and next moment you want his head on a stick. Is he over-rated? i would say to sum extent,"yes". He can play a great game and then let in a dam goal from the top of the circle with a clear lane. I think Therrien should let Tokarski play last nite considering CP has horrible record vs Pens. A goalie controversy is good i think on a team,it usually tells your #1 to be better or else. Halak gave Price a run for his $ and we rewarded him with a trade?

He makes the stops when he has too. If he didn't get run by Kreider the Habs would at least be in the Finals last year. Yes, you are a little crazy.
Making the stops when he has to... That's what you say about a good backup. An elite goalie steals games. I'm not crazy, I'm just not scared to say what needs to be said. He is very overrated.

I thought the Habs had no business making it as far as they did, but they did in large part to Price. Yes he did steal games in playoffs. I dunno why it "needs to be said" that you think he is overrated. But whatever you need to get off your chest. My advice, quit betting where Montreal is concerned.

The habs played a very tight game in the playoffs last year, they blocked more shots for Price then any other team did for their goalie, and they forced most of the other shots to the outside. The team had every buissiness being deep in the playoffs last year because of their tight defensive play, price had some good games, but it wasn't because of him that they made it that far, it was because the team played good playoff hockey. And why would I stop betting where Montreal is concerned? I'm winning money betting against them when Price is in net :).

I hate the habs as you can tell im a leaf fan and ive never in the 35 years of watching hockey liked any hab player until price came along. Imo price is a top 5 goalie in the world. Sure he may let softies in here and there but what goalie dont. He usually starts off slow but picks it up as the season goes having a career .917 save % is pretty dam good. Sure some teams have his number but most dont. And you are right about the olympics we could have put grant fuhr in net and still won thats how far ahead team canada is vs the rest of the world, they dominated every game from start to finish with one little scare from latvia. We made every team look like a jr team.

I actually really like Price too... I'm just saying he is overrated. What makes you think he is a top 5 in the world goalie? And his career .917 save% is certainly nothing to brag about, I bet there are 20-30 goalies playing now that have a career save% that's better. Besides, your forgetting that his career playoff save % is just .909... Which is horrible, especially considering it the most important part of the season, and also considering most goalies have a better save% in the playoffs then in the regular season. And his 2.73 playoff GAA is also worse then his already bad regular season GAA of 2.52.

No I do not.. I just know how to read and compare a players stats. Price is OK, but he is not great. His stats repeatedly prove this. Just saying he is great doesn't make him great sorry. I continuously provide stats and facts, that are argued with nothing but pathetic immature insults. Your just proving my point. Thanks.

Being a Habs fan since 75-76 and watching Dryden to Roy and all the others in between Price hasn't carried this team to a cup but he's not the most overrated player in hockey. A top ten goalie, at times top five but not in Quick's world. I always thought Halak was better but since Halak wasn't Canadian, Montreal wasn't keeping him. Just my 2 cents.

Totally disagree my friend....Carey Price is a damn good goalie....don't be fooled by any stats!! The man is money and definitely can win you games when needed!! To each there own a opinion and classify PRICE as an ELITE GOALIE any day!!

So when people disagree why do they attack the OP with insults rather than provide facts? Like how old are you guys? Do a little research to disprove points, rather than just call him a retard
2014-2015:
2.09 GAA 4th
.931 SV% 4th
2013-2014:
2.32 GAA 14th
.927 SV% 3rd
Olympic Gold Medal
Playoffs 2013-2014:
2.35 GAA 3rd
.919 SV% 3rd
So no OP, he is not 25-35th every year. Not even close. He is a top tier goalie

Wow. This has got to be the saddest thread ever made in history of threads.This guy must of been mad about the habs winning and costing him some green at the time. I am not even a Hab 's fan, but I do watch tons of hockey. Carey price Would be my vote for MVP and Vezina if season ended right now. The guy steals so many games for Montreal . This guy is the best goaltender in the world right now. His numbers in past don't even reflect how good this guy is as the D is not all that great, Subban and Markov aside .

Over rated? He's a winner, pure and simple. He has won a championship in every league he has played in. Only thing left is the Stanley Cup (not to forget he took his team to the semis before being attacked and injured last year). Olympic Gold, World Juniors Gold, Calder Cup (he was the MVP)...How is over rated? You must have had the Rangers last night to make a comment like that.
