Do you also think Brett Favre is the greatest quarterback of all time? Because Favre has a similar pile of stats.

I agree with Irony. Not one of the best goalies of all time.

To say he's the best of all time is a HUGE stretch. He is simply one of the best. And a great goalie playing in the trap system is obviously going to have great numbers. Especially with the teams that were/are in front of Broduer during his tenure.

I don't know...Lindy should get nominated, but just think of the tall task at hand that was forced on Tippett. Good for him for keeping that team on task and producing at a high level.

Nicklas Backstrom, G and Josh Harding beg to differ.

Perhaps Brodeur does deserve to be mentioned with those guys, but after every single one of them.

While I do not think that Brodeur is the best goaltender of all time, some of you are underrating him by a lot by saying he is not even considered one the best. I don't care what system you play under, putting up those kinds of numbers cant be done without any talent. People say that it is New Jersey's trap system that gets him his wins but he is the reason why the system has worked so well, it does compliment him but it does not give him all the records.

Yea you're probably more right, I didn't know Tippett was coach for Phoenix.

Lindy will get nominated for sure for his job this year, but I guess I would change it to Tippett then.

I was struggling with my Calder pick...didn't want to be too homerish on Myers. But I can actually stomach Islander games now.

I wasn't trying to homer on Myers, but you can hear it in every announcers voices or whenever they comment on the guy.

They all say the same thing basically, I can't believe how good he is and he is only 19 years old.

I like Tavares, but he just isn't gonna hold up as the season goes on. For fuck's sake, Moulson is scoring more consistently, but barely.

It says something too when Darcy didn't send him back to Junior.

When a 19 year old defensemen can take the league by storm and get noticed this quickly by EVERYONE, he's good.

Back to the off topic.

The NJ Devil trap system has more goals than Buffalo's system. How can it be explained that it's "ultra-defensive minded", yet still scores more goals than ours?? It's like admitting it's a superior system to ours. By the same token, no one is willing to take anything away from Miller for being in a defensive system now are they??

My personal opinion is Brodeur and Miller are the best right now. Anyone can argue about how over-rated anyone is, but right now, this is the fact(statistically speaking). Hate all ya want or bitch and moan about systems, but that's how it is.

The Devils have gone from a pure trap team to at least a better offensive team, especially last year when they needed to score goals.

I agree with your point on JT. Tavares played here in a London and during the last half of the OHL season he was a very good player but when playoffs came he a no show. He is also a terrible skater.

Hart: Ovechkin - Simply the best player in the NHL.

Norris: Myers - Rookie or not, he's the best in game.

Vezina: Ryan Miller - No brainer.

Calder: Tyler Myers - see Norris

Adams: Lindy Ruff - Almost nobody saw the Sabres stunning resurgence coming.

Selke: Zach Parise - +22, dominant defensively and very productive offensively.

Welcome back, ETC! As to the Hart, people forget that it's the most valuable player, not the best. Still, Ovie is a good choice there.
