everyone needs to take a deep breath and stop acting like our goaltending is going to sink us. a small part of every Canadian outside Quebec is secretly hoping to see Price fail because he's a Hab. it's understandable. but it's not going to happen. i'm not saying Canada will win gold but what i am saying is that if they don't win gold, it won't be because of him. this kid is a complete stud. he has dragged a Montreal team that, outside of goaltending, is mediocre at best, probably below mediocre, into a comfortable playoff position. Augello, like everyone else, likes to point to Price's numbers over that 10-12 game stretch and act as thought Price was falling apart, without having seen him play at all. any Habs fan will tell you that the slump had absolutely nothing to do with Price and everything to do with, again, the fact that he doesn't play behind a very good team.

Price has been outstanding this year and this will be the first time he's played behind an elite defence. everyone loves to point to Rask and Quick and talk about how Canada's goaltending is a few notches below but put Price behind those defences and you'd see the same thing.

it's all cute how everyone is talking about this "competition" between Price and Luongo but Babcock is no fool. he will ride Price (no code) from the Finland game on. Canada has nothing to worry about with their goaltending.

And what if Price poops the bed? Oh, right. We can rely on another lowly Vezina nominated goaltender. Damn, what if he's crap? Or rats, some 3rd string pud is left and he's one of the most under appreciated goalies there is, simply because he's in Phoenix.

I love how you go on a big rant about how Price is this and that but because of the team he doesn't get respect then completely do the exact same thing about louongo.

Luongo has admitted he's a nervous pooper. He's going to have issue with the bathrooms with multiple pots and no dividers....

He'll be constipated and therefore should not be on the team.

I didn't read his response. Just assumed he was saying how Canada is good in net. lol. But yes, for these 2 weeks I don't give a (frank) what team any of these guys play for in the NHL.

Of all the goaltenders in Sochi only Rask has a better save % than Price; Rask is .928 to Price's .925.

Talk about wins, only Niemi has more wins; Niemi has 29 and Price has 26.

Want Shutouts? Only Rask has more Shoutouts, He has 5 to Price's 4.

Only stat where Price falls behind is GAA. Price has a GAA of 2.33 per game. Of the goalies in Sochi Rask (2.11), Quick (2.18) and Halak (2.26) have better.

So does Canada's goaltending stack up (no pun intended) to the world, without a doubt because Price has put up equal if not better numbers then most of the goalies in this tournament on a team which is nowhere near as good as LA, San Jose, St-Louis, Boston.

Just imagine what he can do with the best forward group and arguably best defensive group in front of him.

Only question I have is whether Price is ultimately the goaltender of choice for Babcock.

So your point is there's a better goalie than Price in every statistical category? Not exactly confidence inspiring!

After this tournament Price will start getting the respect he deserves for being one of the best goalies in the NHL.
- FinAddict


Imagine how respected he would be as one of the best goalies in the NHL if he didn't poop the bed in the NHL playoffs last year.

So you're saying Price doesn't mind pulling down his pants and dropping a deuce right in front of whoever! Then he's our man!

If that's the criteria for becoming Team Canada's goalie, I'll poop anywhere in front of anyone at any time.

I think either Price or Luongo will suffice. We won't rely on our goalkeepers to steal games like the Finns or Czechs.
