Lundqvist belongs there and is Doughty really the best defender of the decade? Absolutely not
Maybe the NHL picked Doughty because he won the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014, along with the Norris Trophy in 2016. I'm not saying he deserves it, that's my reasoning why the NHL selected him.

Lol Fleury being on this list

Apparently giving average results while playing a bunch of games on great teams counts as "goalie of the decade". Not even to touch on his playoff resume for the first half of the last decade.

Yikesss. Dude gave everything he had for you guys and won you your first cup in decades and arguably saved your franchise and this is how you act?

I'm not going to throw him completely under the bus, but Fleury's performance as a Penguin wasn't worthy of "1st All-Decade team". He was an above average goalie in the regular season who had struggles in the playoffs, to the point where the Pens had to replace him TWICE (Vokoun and then Murray) in order to go far in the playoffs.

Fleury being named 1st All-Decade team in net would be like naming Mike Gartner 1st All-Decade RW in the 1980s.

That makes it sound like they went a REALLY long time in between cups, when in fact it was 17 years, which isn't that much when you compare it to teams like Chicago, Philly, and Boston.

Technically speaking, they went 1.7 decades.

Both teams seem decent, except Fleury is pretty crazy - sure he's first in wins, but what about Lundqvist/Rinne (almost as many wins and better save %) or even Price/Rask/Luongo/Holtby/Bobrovsky who all have better SV% (although fewer wins)
