Jaymister 71 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 Why is Luongo so high on everyone's list? The guy hasn't won anything, and he always s***s the bed in big games and the playoffs. Most overrated player in the NHL totally agree, his numbers in the reguler season where even subpar last season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please tell me you didn't purposely leave Halak, Rinne, and Anderson off the list just to squeeze Howard in there....

puffy 97 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Marc Andre Fleury is so overrated it hurts. For starters a 2.65 GAA is hardly something to brag about, especially when you play on a great team. Lets forget GAA for a second though because I know people like to bring up SV%. MARC ANDRE FLEURY 2005/2006 .898 2006/2007 .906 2007/2008 .921 2008/2009 .912 2009/2010 .905 JEAN SEBASTIEN GIGUERE 2005/2006 .911 2006/2007 .918 2007/2008 .922 2008/2009 .900 2009/2010 .916 (With Toronto) Does anyone see the irony here? JS Giguere is a past his prime pile of puke according to many people and yet Fleury makes the Top 10 in some cases? Give me a break!!! Put Marc-Andre on the Leafs and see if he can pull off a GAA lower than 3.20 and a save % higher than .900. I highly doubt he can.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Halak should be on the list based on one playoff run? Well can't you kind of say the same thing about Jimmy's rookie season? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown0001 7,652 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Well can't you kind of say the same thing about Jimmy's rookie season? I'd say an entire season beats out a month and a half of hockey. Halak's regular season stats aren't terrible, but they're not top 10 worthy. Howard should be rated in that category for this season mainly due to the fact that he was a rookie and posted veteran stats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 This is silly. Lots of goaltenders have 1 good year and then fizzle. Even friken Cristobal Huet had 1 good year. Therefore, Jimmy doesn't qualify and neither does Craig Anderson or Steve Mason. 2 or 3 good years as well as at least 1 good playoff IMO is necessary. Therefore, strike Luongo, Jimmy, Peke Rinne, Steve Mason, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Average sv%? Vokoun has been one of the league's best goaltenders for nearly a decade and nobody gives him credit. Vokoun has better playoff numbers than Luongo on worse teams, his save percentage has been .918 or better six of the past seven seasons. Luongo only four in the last seven. Vokoun has hit .919, .920, .925, and .926 in the past four seasons compared to Luongo's .913, .917, .920, and .921. But as far as Panthers tenure? Vokoun is .919, .925, .926 in save percentage. Luongo's save percentages were .920, .915, .918, .931, .914. So Vokoun has outperformed Luongo both in direct competition and in comparison of their time with Florida. Vokoun also has singlehandedly carried his team to the playoffs in the past, something Luongo was never able to do. The two goalies have comparable career statistics, so given the fact that Vokoun has been the better goalie recently and the two have equal careers, any top-goalies list which includes Luongo must include Vokoun. Great post. I've always liked Vokoun and thought he was a very good goaltender. I couldn't believe the Preds picked Mason over him pretty much based on 40 games performance. It's unfortunate that Vokoun has remained somewhat in the shadows because of the less than stellar teams he plays for. Maybe the fans in Florida should start yelling "Vooooouuuuuu!" anytime he makes a routine save. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrisdetroit 189 Report post Posted July 18, 2010 Here's the save percentages. First, Career ranking by regular season with at least 80 games Hiller .920 Luongo, Lunquist, Backstrom, Thomas .918 Voukun .916 Miller, Kipper, Brodeur, Bryz, Rinne .914 Anderson, Giggy, Huet, .913 ---yes, that's Cristobal Huet Turco .911 Quick, Khabby .908 Fleury .906 Ward, Ozzie .905 Howard and Niemi not enough games Now Career Playoffs with at least 20 games Bryz, Giggy .925 Kipper .921 Luongo, Brodeur .919 Miller, Khabby, Ward .917 Ozzie .916 Turco .914 Fleury .911 Niemi .910 Lunquist .907 All others less than 20 games. Sorry about some of the spellings. So, if playoffs are more important than the regular season, then the 10 best proven playoff goalies are Bryz Giggy Kipper Luongo Brodeur Miller Khabby Ward Ozzie Turco As I suspected neither Niemi or Fleury are in the top 10 for the playoffs. They are overrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
