I liked most of what you had to say until I read the rangers section. Granted I am biased but you missed the OBVIOUS answer. Henrik Lundqvist was noted by your dobberness as being hurt in the playoffs last year... yet that was after he won the gold medal ~!
first point. He ain't injured this year.
He is the best goalie in the NHL in the 2nd half of the season.
first in minutes played
tied for second in shutouts
first in GAA
first in save percentage
the other goalies get the love, henke simply gets the wins.
skeptical you say ?
head over to
http://www.hockeyrodent.com/ and see the cold hard numbers for yourself.
Henke is the man to draft for your postseason !
secondly and as more of a darkhorse candidate would be petr prucha. The kid simply doesn't know how to quit on the play and has some serious goal scoring prowess. He was buried for most of this year suiting up on the 3rd or 4th line on many nights. According to NHL stats Prucha "Ranked first in goals among all NHL players that logged less than 13:00 of total icetime per game". He had 3 goals in the last 4 regular season games.
finally I just want to say that I really enjoy your website, but please don't shortchange the rangers.
