Rask should dominate Price in this match-up based on the criteria alone.

Unfortunately most voters can't be bothered to read such criteria...

In a 1 yr pool, I just dont see Price getting as many points as Rask has the opportunity to get. Rask for me.

blayze nails it. Based on the criteria for ONE SEASON it's not even close. The Habs were the 15th place team in the East last year and made minimal improvements in the offseason.

Price for me, easily, and yes I read the criteria.

In a one-year league there's no way in hell I'm relying on a guy with a career high of 45 starts to be my #1 goalie.

In my ranking I had Price one spot higher than Rask. I consider both to be pretty close as Rask probably has the higher upside because of the team he plays on...however as dyz mentioned Rask is still relatively unproven compared to Price.

Another factor which bumps Price up a bit here is the lingering groin injury that Rask apparently suffered while playing overseas a few days ago.

Why do you assume that Price voters don't read the criteria?

Personally, I think Rask is suffering in this tournament from some of the worst timed news ever. I mean, he re-injures his groin and receives a real strong rant about how worrisome that is on the same day I open this poll? The kiss of death, courtesy Mr. Darryl Dobbs.
