go jerk off to tim thomas and hasek replays. clearly you are only impressed by OOHs and AHH's unconventional style goalies. maybe if price wasn't so technically perfect and calm, you could cheer at his crazy saves that he would cause himself to have to make because he would put himself out of position creating the need for an OOh and AHHH save on the second and third plays. this is not to downplay guys like hasek, they are world class, but i get the impression people think carey isn't that great because he makes it look too easy. he's a victim of his own success.
you're just bored because the buck stops at the first play. my heart doesn't even race when opponents close in on carey. i'm waiting to see his save. i used to have a heart attack with any one else in net. but find me any top goalie who hasn't let in a weak goal. he's always improving and making more clutch saves at key momentum points than he used to. it doesn't come overnight but through hard work. just because he's not necessarily a generational talent like roy, he's still a top level goalie who has improved since the beginning and is entering his prime who is going to be at least the second goalie in the olympics.

Only 2 goalies on this list are clearly consistently top 5 and have been for more than 2-3 years. Lundqvist and Rinne. I guess Thomas would have made the list, and you could make a case for Luongo, but I hate Luongo and I think he's just playing behind a good team in Vancouver. I'm not his biggest fan.
The rest ? Maybe none of them are consistent top 5 guys and they fluctuate, like Price. That's basically my point. Why Price more than Luongo, Quick, Miller, Ward, Fleury ? He hasn't done anything more than them. In fact, he has done probably less than most of these names.
In the end, its just all rankings. He's still one of the best goalie in the league. As long as he helps us win most of the time, I'm ok with that no matter if he's top 5 or top 8 or whatever, there's not big difference between 2 and 8 anyways.
Meh, I'll give this game a pass. When you almost outshoot your opponent 2-1 and hit 4-5 posts, and are held to one goal, you just weren't meant to win. I wont begrudge the Sens this lucky win, they've had so much bad luck this year.
Gionta bashing is almost as stupid as Cole bashing. I wish some people would kick the internet habit.
If you think the internet is not up to your standards, well I've got a pretty good idea for you; close the window and find a new habbit. But before doing so, while you're at it, why would you not justify how you think it's stupid exactly? Unless, you know, you have absolutely no argument to back it up?

Except people have claimed he's one of the best for a while, and now he's earning top 3 cap hit money so he has to play to that potential.
Bad game for Subban, we didn't finish our opportunities and ran into a hot goalie tonight. The sens were exactly what we expected. A well coached team who played solid.
After losses, i should only post on HFboards 30 mins after the end of the game. Real solid effort for the Habs tonight. Kudos to Bishop for stealing the game.
Yeah Carey gave up a bad goal, but has been real solid since the beginning of the year.
On an optic of making the playoffs, tonight was a big road point. on most night, if we play like tonight this would have been a win.
Not lets regroup and destroy the Leafs on wednesday!! Go! Habs! Go!!

I agree. Habs played great, ran into a hot goalie. Can't win them all but that is 8 straight games with at least one point.
lol I had to actually google hoverhand. Awwwwwwkward. Rest assured, there is no hoverhand.
She's a very sweet girl though. She actually let my friend and I shoot on stage for her the second time we photographed her. That was ****ing awesome. Got some free merch as well for our "troubles." Not sure how it was trouble getting free tickets and being on stage for a concert.
