Team of the Decade: Backup GK

[Fitzy]

Carl Hagelin eeked out JT Miller for 3LW backed by his strong effort and consistency.

I figured we'd do something a little different next with the fight over backup goaltender. NYR has had several impressive backups for Henrik this decade.

Below are the NYR player stats for the decade... (Note, the second half of the 09-10 season is not included in these stats, unfortunately)

I liked Raanta and his game but no NYR backup did more for the team this decade than Cam Talbot when he took over during Hank's injury. The clear choice for me.

I remember trying to vote him into the top 25 in the prospect rankings at Alabama. Great undrafted story.

The guy who won the Presidents Trophy lol

 

[Bob Richards]

Cambot

Talbot, easily.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

yeah, another easy one. Next pls!

 

[Fitzy]

I won't lie I'm a little surprised Raanta and Georgie haven't gotten more than a couple votes. I preferred Talbot but this is a runaway. New poll up late tonight.

I thought it would be a lot closer

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Talbot for sure.

Did we do a thread for starting goalie?

 

[Fitzy]

Talbot for sure.

Did we do a thread for starting goalie?

No. Should I have? Seemed like the closest think to a unanimous poll.

Yeaaaaah, no.

No I agree, just wasn't sure if I missed it. Was curious to see if the poll was 100% or not.

Pavelec, obviously.

Went with Raanta.
