Patrick Roy was replaced by Hayward in the 87 playoffs right after 86. He was absolutely brutal against the Bruins almost every playoff season to the point where Harry Sinden used to make ‘Patrick Roy in the playoffs’ jokes. By the time 93 rolled around the majority of fans wanted him traded. And when things went south team wise he bolted in the middle of a game.Why do you feel the need to insult people, did you see me insult any one? How do you expect me to respect you if you can't respect yourself. I din't even disagree to the fact that Price was a rookie.
what are you talking about 2 weeks? look at their seasonal record, Halak was clearly doing better through out the season, he was getting dem victories, making dem key saves at dem key moments.. all season long. 2010 was a catastrophic season for Price, which he eventually learned from .
Budaj had 8 wins, 1 Loss... please, stop.
From 2014-2017, he was great
GM? yeah of course, who's fault is that though?
Coaches, players... no one is blaming him for how bad they managed the team or how poorly they treated Subban.
Great goalies have played for worst teams and worst GMs before. Its not an argument to use to retire his jersey.
Who disagrees? we're talking about retiring his jersey man... keep up with the program please.
Yes he was a beast physically and if he had Roy's mental, he would probably have 4-5 stanley cups by now.
All roads lead to ROme
Price was a much more consistent playoff player than Roy was for us. He simply didn’t have the horses to win. Swap the teams and Price has multiple cups and Roy has none. This has zero to do with ‘mental toughness.’
It’s absolutely stupid to point to a bad playoff season as a reason to bar any player. Nobody gives a shit about that. If they did h then nobody would get in. Roy had some brutal years. Does that matter? Hell no. He’s well worthy of the retirement- even with him bolting the way he did.
What matters is body of work. Does the player have the resume or not? Price clearly does. The only thing he doesn’t have is a cup. If people want to arbitrarily make that a requirement- so be it. But I don’t think it makes sense to do that. Again I notice you still haven’t come up with a reason to say why his resume isn’t as good as those other players as you said it was. He’s every bit the player they were and in some cases has a better resume than some who’ve been retired already.
Hopefully the next squad wins some championships. I’m optimistic it will. If that’s the case Carey Price will be the lone HOF talent we’ve had from our last cup to the next. No reason to hold him back because our management wasn’t competent enough to build a decent club.
Moreover, not only do I think he deserves it, I think he WILL eventually get his jersey retired. It may take 15-20 years but I think it’s going to happen.
