I'm going with Gonch here. He's a good guy who has done a lot for this franchise. He mentored Geno and took him in. He also probably played a role in getting Geno to the states. He handled the rough reception he got in Pittsburgh with class and he gutted it out. Now he's returned to the fold coaching, and is having an immeasurable impact on our defensemen.

I was also considering Roberts, Staal, and Jake but Gonch wins out for me.

 

[Tom Hanks]

Went with Jordan. He stands out a bit in my memories from some of the older players (in terms of when on the team).

 

[WayneSid9987]

Went MAF. Don't @ me.

 

[ColePens]

No wrong answers here. Went Matt Murray. Cool, calm, loves Coldplay, AND featured in this months calendar for the pens and paws charity calendar.

 

[BHD]

Voted for Fleury. He had his ups and downs over the years, but he went out on top.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

add rob scuderi and then immediately remove him please.

 

[molon labe]

Wanted Letang at #4, so I'm voting according to who I think is #5 - not who I think comes next (if that clarifies this any)

So for MY number 5, Matt Cullen.

 

[TNT87]

Gonchar.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Mad Max

 

[StaalForOne]

These are hard, so many good choices.

Going with Kunitz, loved his game in his prime and he has as many cups as anyone (with the Pens anyway) on this roster.

Staal, Talbot, Gonchar on deck.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Gonch for me. Played the second half of the '09 run on one leg after the Ovechkin cheapshot and still scored some huge goals.

 

[Andy99]

Loving Coldplay is the only mark against him...

I agree.

This is where some of those earlier guys come in Fleury, Letang, Staal, Kunitz, Gonchar and such.

I'd say Fleury gave them a lot of stability over the years no matter how good/bad you feel about him.

I'd have Murray around the top 10 mark, he literally came in at the cusp of going on the runs. Lucky for him, though, he still has time to move up that ladder.

Maybe that is a little COLD, but his PLAY could be better if they try to FIX YOU in front of him.

.....He has time...I’m not sure where he lands for me....I love his mental makeup but he has yet to show he can be “the man” and take his play from the PO Cup runs while MAF was still around to play consistently as the number 1 netminder ....this year should be big in that regard for him...the team really needs him to show those two PO runs weren’t flukes because Jarry is even less a certainty to develop as more than a backup.....
