Poll Question:
. Playoff Pools are now available! >>>
You're heading into the Playoffs. You can choose one goalie to backstop your team to the Stanley Cup. Who's it gonna be? Why?

Patty Roy. Without a doubt the most clutch playoff goalie ever. |

Brodeur...He is going to finish his career his the most wins all time and probably the most shutouts as well. Why pick anyone else? |

I vote for Dryden because he's the best that's all.
Lyle Odelein is always on my mind! |

I am a huge Canucks fan but don't see the logic behind picking Roberto Luongo. The guy is great I agree, and possibly the best in the game today, but he has absolutely zero playoff experience. I dont know about any of you but I wouldn't be risking my playoffs on a guy who has never played a playoff game in his life if I had the choice of any goaltender ever to play the game! |

Roy I think. That guy was a playoff god! didn't he get 10 straight playoff wins one season?
Ya I wouldn't pick Luongo for that reason too, no playoff experience. But the guy is good and he'll definitely get some this year! even if it will ony be 1 round! |

How could I be the only one who voted for Jake the Snake? Is seven Vezinas not enough? Or the numerous Stanley Cups? |

Bernie Parent. If he carried the Flyers to 2 cup wins he should be able to with my team too. He was out-freaking-standing. Funny....he's on my GOAT team. |

Anyone who was a gaolie at any level in the past 20 years has got to pick Patrick Roy.... That guy changed what it meant to be a goalie......He WAS the Montreal Canadians.....He was the first goaltender to be the face of his team.
Roy has 3 conne Smythes....Brodeur NONE Ken Dryden played on a dynasty...Roy's Canadians stumbled into the playoffs every year and relied on Patrick to bail them out..Dryden the best? Ya right...Maybe the best goalie to also practice law, but that's about it....he had about 15 shots a game ladies and gents......
Look folks, Roy wasn't just the best playoff goalie...He was the best PLAYER in playoff history ...I think his 3 conne smythes is the record......That 1993 performance is the greatest playoff performance of all time..10 straight OT wins...And of course the famous wink...Not to mention he put the gretz led kings in their place....
I HATE CROSBY |

I have to go with Roy. 151 wins, 23 shotouts and a 2.30 G.A.A. is nothing short of spectacular. Then he has three Conn smythe's and 4 Stanley Cups. It's hard not to choose him.
Long Live Leafs Nation!! |

Conn Smythe and a Cup as a rookie. Youngest player to win the Conn Smythe. Took two different teams to the Cup. 3 Conn Smythe's. Best quote in Stanley Cup History.
"I can't hear what Jeremy says, because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ear."
Patrick Roy is my pick hands down. |

It has got to be Patrick Roy hands down the guy was an amazing player, watching him freak out was awesome I gotta give credit to Parent though the stories ive herd about him, wow he was good. I to would not vote for Luongo even though I think he's great, he could turn into Dan Cloutier in the playoffs for all we know.Perhaps one day he will go down as the best playoffs goalie ever, but for all we no Dany Sabourin could perhaps become the best playoff goalie ever.

Roberto Lulongo easily, he is a big reason why Vancouver is doing so well. I mean dont get me wrong they have the sedin brothers, and the naslund, but yet he shows up every night!

I dont no who Lulongo is, but Luongo may be making the canucks the team they are now, but who's to say he wont crash and burn in the playoffs, this is coming from a HUGE canucks fan.

WOW. Legends like Brodeur and Roy being matched by a goalie who hasn't ever been to the post season. |

I have no doubt that Luongo will be a great playoff goalie, but like I said before nobody knows yet and that is why I dont think he should be included on the list with all those other proven playoff goalies

As good as Luongo is and as much as I don't believe in the whole "you gotta have playoff experience to be a good goalie" crap (ya, Ward, Kiprusoff and Giguere sure had a lot of playoff experience when they made their runs), I think it would be tough to give it to Roberto over this list of goalies. That being said, I would definitely take Brodeur, as the other guys are probably old and fat by now and Roy is probably too busy beating either his wife or opposing team's GM's. Oh ya, and also because Brodeur is freaking amazing... I almost forgot about that minor detail. |

Luongo isn't a bad choice. He has been the best goalie this year (close race with Brodeur) Having him on the list adds an extra level of thought I think. But anyhooo, gonna repeat myself, Roy is the s***. |

As a Ray Bourque fan, I owe a huge debt of gratitude to the way Patrick Roy played in Game 6 of the 2001 finals, so he gets my vote. Watch the first period of that game if you ever have a chance. That was major clutch time and he came through BIG TIME! Having said that, I do remember Parents heroics fairly well. He'd be a very close second for me. There is a good argument to put Parent first too as he was a little more stable than Roy who did some crazy things earlier in that series actually. But, as I say, no Roy, no Cup for Ray. I am going the homer route on this one. |
