Poll Question:
Who is the best goalie in the NHL with less than 5 years of NHL experience?

After playing in the NHL, it's hard to watch hockey games.

Choices:

Ray Emery
Nicklas Backstrom
Henrik Lundqvist
Pascal Leclaire
Johan holmqvist
Ryan Miller
Marc-Andre Fleury
Other (who?)

Although I think all of these guys are yet fairly unproven in one way or another, I went with Lundqvist. Emery and Miller were up there, too.

Backstrom needs to get at least one full season under his belt as a starter before he gets my vote.

I voted for Lundqvist too for the same reason- Backstrom is just too inexperienced.

Lundquist has really proved him self so I would take him. Rick Dipietro would be another goalie I would take.

I also went with lundquist. I think he's really stepping up to the plate. Backstrom is still inexperianced and pretty old for a young goalie. Leclaire has to prove he can handle the full time load and show it wasn't just a couple good games (well more then a couple now) to start off the season.

I would add Dipietro, but he has playedm more than 5 years in the NHL, I think...

No love for Cam Ward?. Starting goalie, workhorse this year, and already won a Conn Smyth and Stanley Cup in his first 5 years.

I'm guessing that's why there is an "other" choice.

Ellis or Mason?

i chose leclaire although he does not have a whole lot of experience i just like the way he plays, on a mediorce team like columbus he is doing a great job...i believe he already has 6 shutouts too, pretty good for another good canadian goalie
