reeffreak link said:You know I hear people say he's junk and blah blah blah all the time. There's only one other goalie that's can match him for the most wins, the past 5 years in the NHL and that's The King.
Every goalie/player gets there got/cold streaks, example, Crosby, goalless in 13 play off games, still the best player in the world and number one I points for the season. Crap happens, especially for goalies, name one goalie that is amazing that hasn't made a stupid play or let in weak goals.
1. He also has one of the most games played in the last 5 years. So that comment has to be taken with a grain of salt. His front line was rolling pretty good there for a few years that saved his ass a few times. Which leads me to point number 2....
2. He has one of the weakest GAA and SV% of all active goalies with 20 or more games played. Like literally almost bottom of the list.
3. He DOES have quite a few playoff shut outs though.... Remove Brodeur and he is near the top. Lundy and Quick have 8, Flower has 7, (so does Nabokov... lol)
