Price generational? I don't get the Price worship. Here are some players who I consider equally talented in his 'generation':Price had equal or more of an impact on winning the hockey games he was in than guys like Crosby, Ovechkin, and McDavid imo.
Maybe thats a hot take, and I don't think it's how people define generational, but for me his impact on the Habs is comparable to many that get labelled 'generational'.
- Lundqvist
- Vasilevskiy
- Brodeur (bit of a stretch on that one, but he did play until 2015 )
And yet I don't think anyone would call any of them 'generational'. Active goalies who might reach that level but still in the beginning of their careers:
- Shesterkin
- Demko
- Oettinger
Price was very, very good but I think Habs fans put him on too high a pedestal.
