More homework to be done, my friend.

Price was battling chronic fatigue that rock bottom year (.900), found nutritional deficiencies (Vit B12, D), got concussed, etc. Also that year, Shea Weber played 26 games.

Markstrom is a career average goalie with a good year and intriguing underlying fundamentals.

Price just singlehandedly showed Crosby the door.

Sv % between .910 and .920 is normal team influenced stat range. Being up at .936, especially when it matters, is another level

And especially behind that Montreal roster. Not good. Superhuman goaltending when it counts is the most recent thing we have seen from Price.

Of course they are all better than Koskinen and Smith

But the only way Markstrom is better than Price is the beautiful logo he will have on his jersey
Until this season, the Canucks were terrible too
