Dr.Sens(e) said:Yeah, that is pretty funny.
Actually, you should find this hilarious then. Fleury has had a disaster of a start - 1-3, 4.12 GAA and a .868 Save %. Some of the worst stats in the AHL.
Bottom line - I wouldn't be judging either goalie on their early start in a handful of games.
Lehtonen will need to be stellar in net as the rest of the Wolves line-up does not compare favorably to the rest of the league, stocked up due to the lockout. It could be a long year in Chicago for a fanbase used to winning unless some of the youngsters step up quickly
True, but Luongo has been in the same position in Florida for the last little while, playing against teams that were just plain better, and look at his stats.Tha ACE said:Yeah it sucks, but isn't normal to be in a slump during your 2nd professional year?
The Wolves are not a great team anyway this year. See their season preview, here
luongofan said:My only problem was that people started overrating him based on the games he played at the end of last season. He was spectacular, don't get me wrong, but all goalies go on hot streaks and you can't expect any of them to play every game like that.

Yes, 5 games with a 88% save percentage ruined this young man's career, bust...
Come on guys, claiming he is overrated because of a 5 game streak is ridiculous. The rest of this guys career, about 140 professional games, seem to justify the hype. This is a silly thread.

Diaboli said:What the ****?!?
Are you serious?
What about Miikka Kiprusoff and Fredrik Norrena. They're quite close to Lundqvist's numbers. And their just from Sweden! ....
Goalies in Finland I consider to be better, as good, or close to Lundqvist's level. Dwayne Roloson, Pasi Nurminen, Niklas Bäckström and Tim Thomas.
And that's just Finland. There's Switzerland, Czech Republic and Russia, that may have better goalies.

Miller, Ryan 3GP 0W 3L 0T 15GA 5.64GAA .833s%
Fleury, Marc-Andre 4GP 1W 3L 0T 15GA 4.12GAA .868s%
Lehtonen, Kari 5GP 2W 3L 0T 18GA 3.78GAA .888s%
Even guys like Emery, Nittymaki and Ouellet have pretty bad stats.

lundqvist had the second best #'s last year in the swedish league, this year he has the best #'s...and he's 22. it's not quite fair to compare him to kippursoff since kippur is a NHL starting goalie who took his team on his back to the cup finals...but lundqvist has shown he can hold his own against top flight goalies in the swedish league at least and he was very strong in the world championships as well
just cuz he wasn't a 1st rounder and hyped up beyond comprehension like fleury and lehetonen doesn't mean he's not a damn good goalie and prospect...he's one of the best out there IMO.
though i'm not sure why he was mentioned in this thread to begin with
