I agree. Vokoun is certainly the goaltender that is most valuable to his team

Lundqvist versus the 9 game winning streak Devils and Brodeur?

Stellar....and he played last night against Boston. Absolutely stellar. This guy deserves recognitition for the Vezina and DEFINITELY for the Calder.

Until about 10 games ago, I wouldn’t have been terribly surprised that Brodure didn’t make this list. But, as I suspected, he and the Devils have finaly picked things up. He is definatly one of the best in the league and deserves to at least get a few votes, but the slow start for him and the Devils have hurt him.

I can't believe Vokoun was a Hab at one time !!

Vokoun, Kiprusoff and Fernandez are all playing for a different team than they were drafted by. They weren't expected to be great NHL goalies.

I wonder could Huet have been named to that list if he was given more icetime?? This guy played awesome in his limited icetime and I don't think it was a fluke. He positions himself well and looks like the real deal. Julien realized this but then got fired and BOOB GAINEY turned back to Theo. GIVE HUET A CHANCE!!

yeaaaaa, thats pretty wierd, no broduer???

not a broduer fan but why doesnt any of these goalies think he's the best??

i personally dont think there is 1 goalie who is the best. If you want to find out, then put that goalie on a team like the capitals and see how good they do, cause they wont do much better than kolzig.

CUJO is the overrated one. # 1? are you crazy?what has he ever done? with a pretty strong leafs team in the late 90′s he could never get past the Dominator and the Sabres in the playoffs. He was no good in Detroit…(seems to me he was benched in favor of some other guy….), and then is playing well but wont be going anywher down in Phx. Look what he has won. lookwhat Hasek has won. Lookatwhat the other goalies think. Look at yourself and have a good laugh.

actually if you caught it the overall point im making. the "amazing" goalies actually have the amazing teams infront of them. if you asked me which i would rather have hasek on ottawa or vokoun on ottawa i would want vokoun.

overall about this guy whos bragging about being jr a is funny. you did not even make the cut... hah.

trust me i watched the colorado detroit game. i was surprised we managed to keep it a 1 goal game. aebischer was unbelieveable. but thats beside the point. everyone says the senators have depth so why should it matter with injuries they should still be “the team” shouldnt they?. and i did see the anaheim game and i saw what happens when they play poor defensively. hasek is not at his best when his team plays poorly defensively. and it did not matter who the sens had in net the only reason there more offensive is there coach Bryan murray. Martin likes to play defensive hockey not offensive. murray actually likes offense better then defense. and for ottawa being the top offense in the league it has something to do with there top line of heatley-spezza-alfreddson. yes they were injured for about 10-15 games but did u see what happened to them in the beginning of the season.

If you watched the Anaheim game he was great Ottawa had a hard time just getting out of their zone and most games he bails out the defence more then people think and gives them a chance to get it going

here is what Brian Murray had to say after that shootout loss to Anaheim:

"Hasek was the reason we were able to get a point out of this," said Senators coach Bryan Murray. "I think we had the chances at 13-3 (for Anaheim) in the second period. "

Since late December the Sens have struggled with injuries and being consistent in their efforts but Hasek has been great all season and i watch every Sens games and also Wings (my team) which you must know just won in Colorado lol

trust me Hasek may not have to stand on his head every night like he use to with Buffalo but he still makes the key saves at key times and the Sens take more chances on offense because they know the Dominator is back there wich they could not afford doing with Lalime in net hence them being #1 in offense in the league with 5 rookies in the lineup on most nights

Exactly…Hasek won all those awards without much of a team infront of him compared to Brodeur and now that the Devils are weaker he was having a hard time to win a game which proves even more how good Hasek was and this is only the 2nd season that Hasek has a good team infront of him…i’m not saying Brodeur isn’t a top goalie because he is but he is finding out how hard Hasek had it with Buffalo all these years he played for them
