StevieY'sguy 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 Who's the best netminder in the league? Not necessarily using stats or just this season as a measuring stick, but if you could pick one goalie who is guaranteed to be on top of his game to win one contest for you, who would it be?

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 I hate to say it, but I voted for "fat boy" Marty Brodeur. He's been terrible the last few playoffs, but he's still the most proven goalie out of that group to win one big game. Miller has had a terrific year but what has he ever won?

Lidstrom for Norris 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 Who's the best netminder in the league? Not necessarily using stats or just this season as a measuring stick, but if you could pick one goalie who is guaranteed to be on top of his game to win one contest for you, who would it be? How can you not choose Marty Brodeur here? I agree that Miller has been the best goalie THIS SEASON but that is not part of the poll question if you read it closely. Brodeur has been the most consistent and clutch goaltender in the league for as long as i can remember. Numerous Stanley Cups and Vezena trophies seem to agree. There is a reason that Marty is cleaning house on the record books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 This poll would have been more interesting had the OP asked who the best goalie is right now, and not who would you want to win one big game. That's why Brodeur has so many votes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 I abstain from voting on this since Vokoun (leader in average SV% since the lockout and 2nd best this year) is not on the list. Terrible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) I abstain from voting on this since Vokoun (leader in average SV% since the lockout and 2nd best this year) is not on the list. Terrible. Is that the bald guy who used to play in Nashville? Isn't he playing in the KHL now? Edited February 3, 2010 by GMRwings1983 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest zackmorris Report post Posted February 3, 2010 (edited) Not sure why Fleury or Ward are even on there. But I voted Luo. Brodeur is overrated and I'll say it until the day I die. He's a very good goalie who looks great because he's never had a bad defense in his whole career. Luongo, stats aside, team accomplishments aside, he has the most pure talent of any goalie around today. Poor bastard just hasn't ever had a good defense in front of him.

interminded 1 Report post Posted February 3, 2010 I'll vote for Marty. He's still the measuring stick for all goalies in the NHL. Luongo is good, Miller is good, Thomas is good (although pretty far away from his last years' Vezina form..), but they are just no Martin Brodeur. p.s. Vokoun should be on the list.
