He’s consistently been a top 3 G for three years now, so I have him as the best.

Hellebuyck has been objectively better in two of the last three seasons.
You also don't think the defensemen in front of these two netminders is a stark contrast?

goaltending ig hard to judge because you have to take in whose playing in front of him and the system in which they're playing.
Bobs was a top 2 goalie in the league and then he left Columbus and their system and now look at him, meanwhile korp and Elvis are killing it.

Top 5
guys like Gibson and Hell are better. And guys like Rask and maybe 1-2 others are real close

Top-5.
Would like to see his performance on a standard team. He has never played for anything other than a top-3 team in the NHL.

Exactly this. Poll needs more options than just top 3. Dude has never played for even an average team, let alone a bad one.
Not sure how you can say that. His "Numbers" are "Considerably" worse than 6 goalies last year, 2 goalies 2 years ago and 6 in 2017-2018.

I see you've continued your game here because you were upset about how it went in another thread.
Vasilevskiy is the best goalie because he won the Vezina two years ago, was top 3 this year, and won a Stanley Cup this year with an excellent playoffs. He has the 8th highest career SV% in league history, and he's only just starting to enter his prime. It's pretty clear why he's the best.

I didn't realize it wasn't a 99% concensus... Kinda surprised 33% of people don't see that. It might be because of the team he plays for.
Vasil is on another level. Not a Hasek vs the field difference but he's in his own tier. Just an athletic beast
This is only 2018-19
This is just insane

No one in the league is that good that they deserve to be called a clear #1. He's a top 3 goalie.
Ohh ok you can use Vezina as an argument when it's about your players I get it........ When Hellebuyck was the Vezina runner up 2 years ago and the winner this past year, that did not make a difference when comparing him to Igor right???
Ohhh ok you can use Stanly cups as an argument when it's about your players I get it. When Sorokin won his Gagarin Cup and was MVP of the Gagarin Cup that shouldn't be used when comparing him to Igor right??
You talk out of both sides of your mouth and it's actually very funny. Take a look at that other Poll between Hellebuyck and Shesterkin. People were actually upset that I made the poll and thought it was an absolute joke that I even compared the two. They are not even on the same playing field.
All I did here was prove your other statements wrong. You SIMPLY can't just use save percentage as a stat to say who is better. We get it you are a ranger fan who thinks Igor is the second-best goalie and your thoughts are 100% right all the time
As for Vasilevskiy, I don't need his accolades thanks. I never said he wasn't the best and if you look I voted he WAS the best in the NHL currently.

In other words, you just wanted to rant because you are mad about a different discussion on this website.

That’s how I feel too. Goalies can be so inconsistent it’s hard to say any one is better than the rest.
