Is 1x Vezina, 3x Stanley Cup, and 5x All Star Marc-Andrè Fluery the modern era NHL goalie GOAT?

    They play the Panthers on the 12th at home. LET’S GO WILD!!!

    Another one of these “records because we make it one”, sure, give him the record if he gets it. I really don’t care though. All time wins and all time save percentages are true tests of a goalies all time skill, not if you’re having a good day every season opener.

    They’re not starting Fleury in the season opener. The net is Gus’ to lose, at this point, no matter what the team tells the media.

  4. DismalYoghurt233

    He has to be the GOAT of giving the puck away if he isn’t in the other categories listed

  5. AssumptionSome4201

    probably not. he was real bad in the early 2010’s and the main reason crosby doesn’t have more hardware. he had meltdown after meltdown. world juniors, the series against philly in 2012? Dude was volatile. high highs, embarrassing lows.

    I have no idea why people seem to think all star games mean anything.

  7. starwestsky

    Well here’s hoping he continues to share that distinction. Hope he gets chased. Nothing personal.

  8. Stats matter more than cups when selecting goalie GOATs.

  9. Fleganhimer

    Is he the greatest of all time of goalies in the modern era? What?

  10. HerbalAndy

    Please just put Gus in for the season opener.. that first game first win is really important for momentum.

    Not a chance unless you consider the “modern era” to be after 2005 and even then you’ve got Vasilevsky standing in his way.

    What the fuck kind of term is modern era GOAT?

    Greatest OF ALL TIME.

    Clearly we can’t have one GOAT per era.

    Fleury was never the best goalie in any year he played, even his Vezina year Vasi was better

  14. Price was better, but his team sucked.
    Anybody could have won these stanley cups as a goalie with Pittsburgh back in the days.

  15. Interesting-Test180

    Tbh I don’t think he’s ever been the best in the league at his position any year he’s played

    Fleury is as much a GOAT in the era of Price, Luongo and Ludqvist as Chris Osgood was in the era or Patrick, Marty, and Dom

  17. Well he for sure isn’t the **best** cap era goalie, it’s quite easy to pick at least 10 better ones. But the **greatest**? I understand why people argue for it, but personally I would give that to Vasilevskiy even though he still has many years left.

  18. HarryPoutini

    I think if we’re talking modern goalies, Price, Brodeur, and Vasi all easily beat him. I’d also argue Lunq or Luongo have arguments for being better.

  19. Electric-Lettuce

    Lmao no not even close. There’s at least 5 “modern” guys I’d take over him
