The Paralleled Careers of Lundqvist and Price

If you enjoyed the video please give it a like! It really helps out!
Henrik Lundqvist and Carey Price are two of the best NHL goalies to ever play. Despite both playing on mediocre teams their whole career, they carried these franchises to deep playoff runs. While both are have stopped playing professional hockey, they shared a shockingly similar career of success, failure, and disappointment.

Who had the better career, Lundqvist or Price?

[@Nothing_important90]

Both had amazing careers but for me Price was better and unlike lundqvist who did have a few stellar players except for subban Price never had anything

[@The_Punisher_969]

​@@Nothing_important90the Rangers never had any star players while Hank was there. Nash never really delivered and everyone else was slightly above average at best. Also, Hanks all time GSAx of over 190 is so far above everyone else, that it's not even really THAT close lol. Price is definitely also a generational goalie but not quite the same as Lundqvist.

[@amsro9094]

Without the Price injury in 2014 the Habs would have beat the Kings in a 93 rematch. Hank never makes the finals and Prices career goes to a next level. Carey is probably still playing without the Kreider injury.

[@23snacKs]

[@Nothing_important90]

​@@The_Punisher_969good point but for me price is still better he managed to win the hart, vezina and Jennings trophy in the same season without a good team and in 2021 he played the entire playoffs with an injury and still carried the habs to the finals

[@Luck_612]

I think they both deserve to be in the hof for carrying those teams. The only difference off the top of my head is a pretty big one named Chris Kreider. I didn't watch much of Hank, but Price really turns it on for the playoffs Yes I know kreider is not completely to blame

[@chad_b]

I'm a lifelong leafs fan but price has been my favorite goalie for a long time

[@chrisbee9643]

I am Leafs fan, too. To me it always was The King. :) Hasek brought me to the NHL. (I am European and startet with this soccer crap. 1998 I saw the Winter Olympics and became instand Hasek fan) CuJO is the reason, I cheer for the Leafs. (He is my idol! He was the first name on one of my jerseys.) Kipper has made me look a Goalie in disbelief. Rask was the phantom that hunted me/us for his whole career. Lundquist was the one, who remembered me of Hasek, dont know why, playstyle is very different. And todays NHL has the 3 Russian dudes, who outshine everyone. xD (Sorokin, Vasy and Igor) I never clicked with Price... Maybe because he never had a stellar performance as I was watching...

Not a fan of Price or Lundquist, but as a hockey fan they both had incredible careers...

[@enigmaticelectronicrecords]

Biggest difference? The Habs had Halak & let him go... Price & Halak were the tandem the Habs needed.

[@philtess3126]

I'm not sure about that. As much as I know price was great, he never seemed at his best when he had competition from his backup.

[@enigmaticelectronicrecords]

@@philtess3126 In 712 games Price had a respectable 2.51 GAA & .917 SV % with 49 shutouts. In 581 games Halak has a 2.50 GAA & .915 SV% with 53 shutouts. This is a tandem every single team dreams of keeping long term. I think it's pretty ludicrous to argue Price played better without competition from a back up, I think he simply had to.. If he didn't, who was the next goalie up?

[@philtess3126]

@@enigmaticelectronicrecords they played together for 2 seasons. Don't use their entire career stats. Price had some of his worst seasons when he played below 50 games, posting under. 910 save percentage (which isn't bad but still sub par if you compare it to his entire career). It's not that hard to understand that some goalies need to play regularly to keep their "mojo". It's much harder to stay consistant when you're playing once a week instead. Plus, it's harder to take mentally that whenever you make an error you get replaced the next game. Less margin for error

[@philtess3126]

Don't forget that price had his biggest year when he had tokarski as a second.

[@enigmaticelectronicrecords]

@@philtess3126 Why wouldn't I use their career stats in a "what could have been" scenario? They played together for 3 in MTL, that's not including their time in Hamilton of the AHL :) Some goalies can play regularly to "keep their mojo", but how did over playing help Price in the long run?... It's hard when you're getting replaced by random goalies coming in and out of the system, but not when you're getting replaced by a mate you've been sharing the net with for X amount of years in a team setting ..

[@HelloMattMat]

@HecticHockey - you forgot to mention both of their Olympic Gold Medals as the starter

[@SatanicsWolves]

Would have been interesting to see the end of Fleury's career if it wasnt from those 2 similar incidents (being traded away from Pitsburgh because he had great value and they tought Murray was their future, and being traded away from Vegas because he still had value and they thought Lenher was the man)... I think that without all that he would be considered as great as the 2 others.

[@HelloMattMat]

3 cups, and a similar 'carry the team on my back' finals appearance with VGK. The Flower can't be ignored either.

[@ethanparker7900]

I really dislike how people sometimes say there careers were "wasted" because we need to realize not everyone can win the cup and the cup is actually a team award not individual and we are talking about these guys as individuals. These 2 men individually have had many other accolades like Vezinas, Olympic gold medals, etc and at least they went to the Stanley Cup Final at least once cause even just going to the final and being the runner up is just as honorable as the winner. These things have made them Hall of famers first ballot absolutely and obviously one of the top goaltenders of not just the 2010s but all time really. These 2 were ofc one of my biggest idols growing up and I am saying this cause people have a lot of misconceptions about both.

[@odeszaa]

When it comes to nhl careers these two players had theirs wasted. It’s a fact. Very little playoff success and poor management didn’t allow these two goalies to prosper. Obviously not everyone can win the cup but when two of the greatest goalies ever only had one Stanley cup appearance each is a travesty.

[@ethanparker7900]

you don't need cups to prosper. They flourished in all other ways. It isn't a travesty because they won olympic gold medals and vezinas and got to experience a Stanley cup final so it is NOT a travesty. Not everyone can win it unfortunately. The cup would cease to exist if everyone could since there wouldn't be enough room for names. There can only be one winner each year. It takes a team to win not just certain individuals.@@odeszaa

[@DirtyDan77]

One thing they definitely had in common was the fact that bother their teams were terrible. If either the Habs or the Rangers had put even a semi competent team together, they would have won a cup.

One of the best goalie that ever played the game, the other was Corey Price

[@kristianlarsen9875]

the disrespect to not put rinne in this video, he is just as similar as there to goalies when it comes to skill, leagacy, and the impact they had on their team and league

[@SatanicsWolves]

Price and Lundqvist had garbage teams in front of them. Rinne had arguably the best defens ein the league in front of him, and good two-way forwards as well. Rinne truly started his career when he was like 26, because while Price and Lundqvist were drafted at 18 and thrown in the net short after (especially price) in front of the fans of 2 of the craziest markets (the pressure..), Rinne was barely making the cut in Ligaa. Only after 3 miserable seasons there he was able to have a great one a get drafted in 8th round as a 21 years old. He then spent 4 more seasons before finally getting in front of an actual NHL net for real. All that to say, if Rinne had developped fast enough for it to make sense to put is name in the same sentence with Carey Price and Henrik Lundqvist, he would have ended up in front on an NHL net at 20, and since at 20 he had 3GAA and sub 900 eff in Ligaa, that would have been the end of his career. His entry level contract would have expired while he would have been a back up in the AHL or in the east coast league, and no other team would have signed him. He would have wend back to Europe like many, and that's it. So in fact, he was really lucky to be a late bloomer. That way he was able to have his entry level contract during his prime and secure himself a career with a great team in front of him. Oh, and also... Both Price and Lundqvist literally carried their respective team on 2-3 deep playoffs run. And when I say carried, I mean they each boast even better stats in playoffs career, than regular season career. While Rinne's playoffs stats were below his regular season stats, and he will be unfortunately remembered for being the guy who consistently fumbled the ball for nashvile during playoffs. Because what all those stats don't tell is that Rinne in playoffs would pull a goaltending clinic out of his bag, only to get pulled the next game because he was awful. Those are all the reasons in my opinion, for why Rinne's name should never be included with the 2 others.
