eaglejelly Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ranking the playoff goaltenders 1. Martin Brodeur, New Jersey Devils At 35, Brodeur is still the best there is, arguably the best ever. This season, he ranks within the top five in games played, GAA, save percentage and wins. With a 1.92 career postseason GAA, including three Stanley Cups, there is no one better at this time of year. Of the 16 playoff teams, only Anaheim has scored fewer goals, so Brodeur will need to be perfect this postseason. He usually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brodeurrocks Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 It must have damn near killed ESPN to publish something positive about Marty and the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 My rankings would be 1. Hasek (old, but until proven otherwise...great in the clutch. He's rested and ready to go) 2. Brodeur 3. Giguere 4. Lundqvist 5. Nabokov 6. Kiprusoff 7. Turco 8. Huet 9. Biron 10. Backstrom 11. Price 12. Fleury 13. Thomas 14. Gerber 15. Ellis/Mason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilinLA Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Giguere is overrated, and any list that has him over Nabokov is suspect. This is Nabokov's year...and the Vezina is still his to lose. Giguere benefits soley from the defense in front of him THIS year, he will be exposed as a fraud when he doesn't get to only play half the playoff games like last year. Poor Anaheim doesn't have two starters this year and its going to show. I rank Giguere at the bottom and hope he injures himself in Game 1, Period 1 in return for robbing Marty of his rightful Conn Smythe. I have a feeling that Carey Price is ready for the show.

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Arguably? Pfft! He IS the greatest goalie ever, and will always be the greatest goalie ever. No one will EVER break his wins record after he sets it next year. I guess I should expect that kind of talk since Marty plays for a team that doesn't get TV coverage because it's "boring" hockey.
