Reply With QuoteI had to go with my man Irbe. He is a workhorse and the Canes wouldn't even have sniffed the playoffs last year. I'll go with Salo as a close 2nd.

There are many solid goaltender in the NHL. Some are overrated and some are underrated.

Yep, Irbe is good. Definitely one of the better goalies in the league.
He wears those ratty old pads too. That's sooooo effin' cool.

Tommy Salo is one solid keeper, and while he plays with a young and speedy team, they aren't the strongest defensively.
It's hard to come up with underrated goalies because they are so pivotal in hockey. When a goalie has a bad game it's obvious, whereas with other positions it isn't as easy to notice.

The Oilers have the fifth best defensive team in the NHL.
