Rumors: 2024-25 Season

Your rigidity causes your issues

Good. Don't let the door hit you on the way out and make sure you don't forget to pack your guns.

Anybody notice that Jaro Halak's career numbers are eerily similar to Price's yet no one talks about him as a first ballot Hall of Famer?

Really? Since when do their playoff numbers look “eerily similar”?

 

[Sal_Butera]

He's never going to play again but he won't retire and leave a penny on the table. He's basically a "useless eater" of cap space. He and his antivaxxer wife can live on the moon for all I care.

Jack Todd didn't delve that deeply.

Well neither of them won a Cup.

Well neither of them won a Cup.

One couldn’t even hold onto the starting job for 1-full season when handed over on a silver platter..

 

[GGpX]

One is a career journeyman backup who was actually sent to the AHL for a little because they rather see him there than on an NHL roster at his salary, and the other is in the discussion for best goalie of his generation and will be in the hall of fame the second he's eligible.

Yes, yes, virtually identical.

Halak was a heckuva 1B goalie… obviously not a HOFer

Zero Cups so...just random numbers.

Just the dumbest way to evaluate an individual player.

 

[Habsy]

He's not evaluating shit.

Just call him dumb and move on. He kinda likes it.

With Price its all about 2 worlds

The best goalie in the game until his 2014 MVP

Injuries, inconsistency , and nowhere near that level since

Only had a few good seasons since and will be on LTIR most of his ridiculous contract

Price’s playoff perform post 2014 still have him as best goalie…

The covid gift playoff is the only year the team went far

The body of work from 2014 is not elite , dont look at only the limited playoff games he played

A few good years and barely played in the final 8 years of his deal
