Rask not being listed?

 

[DKH]

I sit behind Bruins goalie first and third and Rask is spectacular

This list is an embarrassment

If I was stuck on an island with the author I would not even talk Hockey if this is his knowledge

Regular season # 1 all time save % but slumps to #5 in playoffs

Bwhahahaha bwhahahaha bwhahahaha

Imagine team USA if the NHL went to the olympics?

Matthews, Eichel, Wheeler, Kessel, Kane, Gaudreau likely top 6

Buff, Mcavoy, Suter. Would Carlo make the team?

Quick, Schneider

Is this the most talent the US has ever had? There's plenty of other good players to round out the roster.

Krug too

 

[Mainehockey33]

Krug too

Doh, how did I forget Krug Especially coming off his best season in the NHL.

Krug, Mcavoy and Carlo are all potential team USA players, I like our defense.

USA's forwards are so good, some of the best young forwards in the game right now. Backes would make a nice 4th line center.

I don't think this list is based on career numbers.

In the last 3 seasons Rask has not cracked the top 10 in save percentage.

In the last 3 seasons Rask does have one 7th place finish in goals against average.

I wouldn't call the list an embarrassment for not having Rask in the top 10 currently.

If you want to keep rask out of top 10 three seasons ago you better count part times with less then 35 starts otherise hes 9th

Of course if you want the guy with the best career % in nhl history then im afraid you must put rask first

so if you want a list of who was good last year but might suck this year... its a good list. If you want a list of who can be expected to have 2 good seasons in a row... it sort of sucks leaving rask and schneider off as well as crawford and his cup wins

Yah he's the All Time leader

Remember folks last summer there are posts rating Boston with bottom 5 defense in hockey

I think Rask is fantastic and easily most underrated goalie in the league

If I had him in the SIM or real life only rate Price better

Holtby was horse manure in the playoffs

My cousin lives in Virginia said he SUCKED in the playoffs

Love Tuukka

I still wouldn't trade Tuukka straight-up for any goaltender in the NHL.

Price is a tough one, but I like Rask's playoff resume better.

I think if we had Price in the 2013 playoffs we would have won. Price behind that defense would have been crazy.

Price was awful in 2013 and Rask went .940 sv% in the playoffs that year.

 

[Mainehockey33]

But has he ever played behind a defense as good as the Bruins had that year?

Chara, Seidenberg, Boychuk, Mcquaid, Krug and Hamilton

Montreal has had pretty damn good defensive corps in recent years. Not to mention that Price hasn't had a single great playoff run in his career despite that (and plenty of terrible ones). In 2013 Price was one of the worst goalies in the playoffs.

You're probably right, I don't know the stats. Seems like Hank has been doing the same thing throughout his career. Great regular season, playoff choker.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Carey Price playoff record is as avg as it gets. Its actually terrible and shows how overpaid he is. Huge falsehood that's he's a good playoff goalie

Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself here with this Habs/Price fanboy nonsense. You're better than this.

Bang on on all accounts, sir.

Thomas won the Cup in game 7 with an out-of-this-world .940 playoff save percentage.

Rask is called a playoff choker by many idiots here for a Stanly Cup Finals game 6 loss where he also had a .940 playoff save percentage (against better teams, like stacked Pens, Lightning and Blackhawks teams).

The difference came down to: Bruins players couldn't score easy, obvious goals. We're talking goalie-beat, net wide open and they couldn't tap it into a wide open 4x6. If Jagr and Seguin were taking up top6 spots on the 2011 Bruins and couldn't score a single goal then the Canucks likely win in 6 and Thomas isn't a local legend.

I am SO happy someone besides me thinks this way..I always said the so called best goalie in the world is as average as it gets!! Thank you very much. I expect to sleep well tonight..

 

[Mainehockey33]

Forgot about his stinkers. He's had a couple good runs but Rask's 2013 numbers were incredible. His save percentage that year was tied with Thomas's 2011 run (.940)? I don't think I knew that stat before.

I'm a Rask fan, and I don't call him a playoff choker - it's a team game. But I understand where that stigma is coming from.

Save percentages aside, and fairly or unfairly, the blown 3-0 series lead against Philly is on Rask's resume. And while he had stellar moments in the Final against Chicago, the Hawks put up 6 in Game 4 in Boston, when the Bruins could've taken a 3-1 series lead.

And Game 6 isn't all on Rask, but remember that was only two years after Thomas willed the team to victories the fan base had grown accustomed to losing. Blowing that game at home still stings.

The overtime of Game 7 against Montreal in 2011 could've ended much sooner with a Habs victory were it not for Thomas, and he had two shutouts in Game 7's in the Conference Final and the Final. Tampa put up impressive goal totals in the series, but when the series was on the line, Thomas was perfect, in a game for the ages. Then came the shutout in Vancouver, Game 7, when the Bruins were outshot 37-21.

I'm a big fan of both Thomas and Rask. Numbers aside, the difference is Thomas put the team on his back and brought home the prize; Tuukka hasn't yet, though he's had opportunities. Like starting pitchers, it's not always fair, but wins and losses are tagged on goalies.

 

[Alberta_OReilly_Fan]

My only issue with rask is i think he has not been confident vrs montreal. Montreal has been a rather average team during rasks career but hes 7-15 against them with a 2.51 gaa and .915 save. Washington and anaheim are the only 2 other teams he sucks against

Factor out his montreal numbers and his record against the rest of the league is the best ever

Unfortunately we cant factor out Montreal. .. somehow rask needs to straighten this out like the rest of the team does

Going digital: Canadiens to charge fans $150 extra for printed tickets

Paper tickets may soon be a thing of the past, as the Montreal Canadiens have reportedly made a controversial decision with their season ticket holders. Season ticket holders have been informed that tickets will be available in electronic format only for next season, as fans will be asked to scan tickets from their mobile device. Fans that want hard copy tickets can still get them, but for an additional cost of $150 per seat, plus taxes and fees.

When you get to the game, they put a digital ticket on your cell phone. No cell phone, no entry. The Miami Heat are also doing this. No SCF tickets as keepsakes!?! What do you guys think of this?

Like the Habs are actually going to the SCF for there to be a keepsake?
