Martin Brodeur, widely regarded as one of the greatest NHL goaltenders of all time, recently named five current goaltenders whom he considers to be the best in the league. However, one notable omission from his list has sparked debate among NHL fans.
Martin Brodeur Picks His Top-5 NHL Goaltenders
Here are the five goalies Brodeur selected:
Andrei Vasilevskiy - Tampa Bay Lightning
Igor Shesterkin - New York Rangers
Ilya Sorokin - New York Islanders
Adin Hill - Vegas Golden Knights
Jacob Markstrom - Calgary Flames
Igor Shesterkin - New York Rangers
Ilya Sorokin - New York Islanders
Adin Hill - Vegas Golden Knights
Jacob Markstrom - Calgary Flames
The obvious name absent from the list is Connor Hellebuyck of the Winnipeg Jets, a consistent Vezina Trophy contender in recent years. Hellebuyck's strong performances this season further highlight the perceived snub by Brodeur.
Do you think Hellebuyck should have been included in that list?
