This is completely and statistically false.But in Price's case, it makes him look SUBSTANTIALLY worse. It'd drop him from that Lundqvist tier to the Vokoun tier.
As I said, Roy had the better career. But he was on far better teams. And he was wildly inconsistent. I don’t remember Carey Price ever losing us a series but Roy did that multiple times. I still remember Cam Neely scoring from center ice. And Roy never beat a team better than his own, Price beat better clubs with regularity.You're personal eye test aside.
Roy was a legend and a winner in the biggest moments.
Carey was a great athletic goaltender.
Yep. But he was no Roy.
Roy won four rounds, the Cup and the Con Smythe in his rookie year. 1986
Price in his rookie year, got to the second round where he had a melt down against a mediocre Flyers team. 2008. Didn't win his next round till 2014.
Price had one Hasek like season. Plus some pretty good ones.
Roy was great from 1984 to 1995. As a Canadien . With legendary play off performances.
No contest.
It's a compliment to Carey just to try compare the two.
Greatest goalie of a generation.
