NHL Goalie Breakdowns: Carey Price
Спорт
Welcome back to NHL Goalie breakdowns presented by MAP South Goaltending. Thank you for the support and if you missed any of our previous installments, they are posted on our Instagram account and KZread channel. This week we will be focusing on one of the premier goalies in the league: Carey Price.
Price has been the gold standard for goaltending for the over a decade. Since he broke onto the scene as a 5th overall pick (2005 Draft), he has been looked at as the model for how a goalie should play the position. Like Vasilevskiy in last week’s breakdown he has all the tools and houses them in a near perfect toolbox. There isn’t a definitive weakness in his game. He receives plus grading in all four areas of goaltending: technical, tactical, athleticism, mental. One of the things to pay attention to is how quiet his game is, he is rarely out of control even in difficult situations. He looks born to play the position.
And his resume speaks for itself:
- World Junior Championship Gold Medal
- Olympic and World Cup Gold Medalist
- Calder Cup Champion and Playoff MVP (AHL)
- Vezina Trophy
- 7x NHL All-Star
- All-Rookie Team
Please leave your comments, questions, and feedback on this week's video to stimulate the conversation and be sure to think critically in identifying how you can apply some of Price's game to aid yours.

So true in the difficult situations he just looks so calm and natural
Next Week you should do either a rookie or a veteran.
Love these breakdowns. They show a different side of goal-tending and coaching that isn't always explained and showcased. You sir have yourself a new subscriber!

Amazing video
Can you do a Mackenzie Blackwood breakdown
U should do a breakdown on Marc Andre Fleury
I've noticed Price's stick is always inching towards a paddle-down position as players progress towards him during shootouts, maybe to favour his blocker position?
U gotta do shertikazan. (Butchered it) (the nyr goalie that went 10-2 this season in case u couldn’t figure it out)
Do one on Marc Andre Fleury
would love to see quicky
U should mention their puck play
I liked the vid but i will disagree with the very final assessment. Not only would that pass not be forced if he seen Carey in a high percentage of probable save in the RVH, but Price also did not push from his left foot, his sheer size and a shot to the logo was the only thing accomplished here. He got lucky.

Thank you for your support. And respect your opinion, but he would've had to have pushed or at the least c-cut off his left skate in order to get himself square for the shot, before the pass he is flat to his goal-line. Because he rotates forward and watch again, he does in fact dig in the toe of his glove side skate which allows him to push and gain depth directly to the shooter's stick blade. Also if he is in RVH, he would've had a much more difficult time rotating forward to square himself to the pass (which would expose the far side of the net as well, if he remained flat), and I don't believe it is necessary to be in RVH when the pass is made. There is no jam threat or immediate wrap-around which allows him to be more agile from his feet. I do agree his size aids him in his ability to make this save. Also, I'd watch again the shot hits him in the glove which is stacked on top of his pad, not his logo. Love that you are sharing your opinion to stimulate the conversation and please continue to do so! This is what I really enjoy about posting these videos! If you have any other comments, please fire away!
jonathan quick
Price plays like a pro Eashl goalie lol
