I cant answer two for sure as neither can anyone, but yes without price Canada wins gold.

I don't think they make it to the Gold Medal game without Price, though. Luongo/Smith didn't inspire much confidence.

Sure they could have. Their lines were rolling in all series' up until the Rangers series where they ran out of gas. Price is beyond overrated.

Doughty should be the Norris winner.

Lundqvist on the other hand is a demi-god and should be recognized as such.

Don't be surprised if he starts using Thor's hammer next year instead of a blocker. Crosby will wish for that water to the face in lieu of what he gets next season.

...and yes internet please photoshop Lundqvist rocking Thor's hammer.

Lundqvist is Thor and Price is Odin?

You're on Crack.
Without Price the Habs don't beat the Bruins. He stole a few games on his own.
Without Price they do likely still beat the Lightning... and you see what happens with the Rangers and no Price.

Patrick Kane

In the Olympics and playoffs Kane was just dynamic and almost unstoppable.. And had he scored the game winner in game 7 against the Kings it would have been the third series he won on an OT goal this year. He was the reason a game 7 even happened.

Fantastic logic.

If Price is "beyond overrated", Quick is a backup at best.

Carey Price
gold medal goalie, incredibly dominant in the regular season and was amazing in the playoffs until he got injured. Habs might have made the finals if he didn't get hurt.

agreed there. Regular Season and Olympics AND playoffs were spectacular. Injury shouldn't hurt him. Great Call on Carey Price
- Eklund


Carey Price is a very good goaltender, but I don't think he's on the same level as Lundqvist, Quick, or Rask.

Remind me again how it worked out head-to-head with Price and Rask?
One of them played outstanding and the other played at a far lower level.
I can never remember which is which though!

As much as I want to say Toews (best player for Canada yet again, while Crosby scores one goal and all of the hockey media goes apoplectic), I have to give Doughty his props.

Man, is he good.

- John Jaeckel


How many goals did Toews score at the Olympics?

Doughty and Weber were Canada's best players at the Olympics!

without Price does Montreal make the playoffs? Do the Canadiens win the gold? Do the Habs upset the Bruins?
- Eklund

The Canadiens did not win gold. The Canadians won gold.
