Peter Sidorkiewicz or Mike Luit of the GREAT hartford Whalers!!!

Considering the performance of both goalies recently, the obvious choice is Huet. In his last 11 starts he's stopped 94% of shots against him, a gaa of 2.35, save percentage of 925, with a record of 5-2-3. Aebischer has been pulled in his last 2 starts. 8 goals allowed in his last 2 starts, and he's stopped 89% of shots against him. No such thing as 2 no.1 goalies. It will never work!

He was a great player, that is for sure.  The Rangers could have used him versus the Devils!\n\nThe good news is that there are lots of good young players coming up: Crosby, Ovechkin, Svatos, etc...  Things are looking up.

Right now when healthy it's either Forsberg or Jagr.\nIn a couple of years it's going to be Ovechkin. He's only 20 and he's already one of the most exciting players to watch.

Probably Jaramir Jagr of the New York Rangers. Most hockey fans talk about Brian McCabe's one timer, but has anyone seen Jagr's one timer? That is one awesome shot.

i say there are too many greats still playing but i will name a few based on their skills and leadership: steve yzerman(great leader, in top 10 list with points), lidstrom-great 2 way defenseman, crosby (future star with great potential), jagr- pure scorer, joe sakic- great leader, chelios- oldest defenseman in nhl today, mario lemieux-great scorer and leader, and gretzky- top point leader of all time.  some of thoese players will be retiring soon so i thought i mention them as greats.

I think every goalie has his or her own winning combination -- some of them are brainy like Roy or Shields, some are huge and massive and forwards fear them like Brodeur, some are unbelievably quick and nimble and weirdly preternatural in a scary "spidey sense" way about the puck.  Nabby was that way for a while, Toskala now.\n\nLike any other position, I think the best goalies reinvent the game at their level.  They own the plays, the net, their role on the team, and I don't think that necessarily amounts to leadership, but it does come from things like maturity and a certain solid footing.  Um, no pun intended.\n\nI think some of the things I look for in a goalie I play with in rec are similar in pro hockey.  I don't like goalies who fall apart after letting one or two in, or goalies who are inflexible in their approach, which means they can only shut out certain teams and only if we defend a certain way in front of them.\n\nI like playing with goalies who are fluid about the game, not prima donnas, who can clear their own crease if they have to and who can and will drive the game from the net if the situation warrants it.  Goaltending isn't for the fainthearted, and there's some wussy goalies out there.  I don't think, long term rec or pro, they do very well.\n\nI was sad to see Shields go so completely downhill.  He was amazing to watch when he was at his best, and I wish he'd seen his full potential.  I'm watching Aebischer and Toskala now, of the new generation.  Then again, I know jack about goalies except for living with one.  \n\nThey have too much expensive gear and they leave it lying around all over the !@#!!! house.  That's my opinion on goalies.  How's that?  :p

The one that manages to score the most goals in the finals game

Oilers. Just that.  Only because of Roly the Goalie though... Why did the Wild trade him?!

Least Favorite: Dan Cloutier ... melts down when the situation gets bad, takes stupid penalties\n\nMost Favorite: Henrik Lundvquist .. yeah, I know he's a rookie, but based on his NHL record so far, and the Olympic Gold Medal, I think he has the best upside in hockey

Devils\nMats Sundin\nI love Brody of course, but I have to say Dominik Hasek is my fave netter of all time

INSANE QUESTION:  Theodore was a flash in the pan.  He's done.  Huet is better than Theodore, that's why he's gone.  Patrick Roy is one of the best if not the best goaltenders of all time!

I like the players who play clean but hard hockey.  The ones who work 100% of the time and when the game is over they have left it all on the ice.
