2008 Goalie Preseason Preview
Roberto Luongo
|
 |
The #1 Goalie in Fantasy Hockey. |
1. Roberto Luongo - Canucks - 2008 Preview:
The guy who can take over for Marty Brodeur? Time will tell,
but in the meantime he's great to watch. The wins are 40
plus, save percentage over .92, and GAA under 2.3. He's
got the team in front of him to keep up these stats if not
better on them. Look for a few more shutouts from the Canucks
Net minder.
2006 Statistics:
47 Wins - 2.29 GAA - .921 SV% - 5 SO
2008 Projection:
46 Wins - 2.19 GAA - .926 SV% - 8 SO
2. Martin Brodeur - Devils - 2008 Preview:
Marty is always in the running for Vezina Trophy and Jersey's
style of play hasn't wavered much over the years. They're
always solid defensively even in the high scoring division
and conference they play in. Brodeur posted 4 more shutouts
than the next guy!
2006 Statistics:
48 Wins - 2.18 GAA - .922 SV% - 12 SO
2008 Projection:
40 Wins - 2.31 GAA - .911 SV% - 8 SO
3. Miikka Kiprusoff - Flames - 2008 Preview:
The Flames should win 40 plus games and Kiprusoff will be
the anchor in each of them. He's put up solid steady numbers
over the last couple years and should do so again. Shutouts
may be a bit harder to come by with the Anaheim and Vancouver
as foes, but Kiprusoff will get his wins and keep the goal
count down.
2006 Statistics:
40 Wins - 2.46 GAA - .917 SV% - 7 SO
2008 Projection:
40 Wins - 2.34 GAA - .929 SV% - 5 SO

4. Dominik Hasek - Red Wings - 2008 Preview:
The Dominator enjoyed one of his best seasons ever last year
while only playing in 56 games. He gave the Wings 38 wins
including 8 shutouts. He has signed a one year deal with
Detroit and should be able to hit the 40 win mark next season
even if he plays 65 games. It doesn't hurt to have Niklas
Lidstrom playing the blue line for you either.
2006 Statistics:
38 Wins - 2.05 GAA - .921 SV% - 8 SO
2008 Projection:
41 Wins - 2.38 GAA - .926 SV% - 6 SO
5. Marc-Andre Fleury - Penguins - 2008
Preview:
Fleury is becoming huge part of the Penguins turn around.
He's still going to give a up some goals, but with the team in front
of him he'll pick-up over 40 wins this year which will be hard to
overlook.
2006 Statistics:
40 Wins - 2.83 GAA - .906 SV% - 5 SO
2008 Projection:
44 Wins - 2.65 GAA - .916 SV% - 8 SO
6. Henrik Lundqvist - Colts - 2008 Preview:
The Rangers seem to always open the season with more promise
than the year before and this season it may pan out. The Eastern
Conference is certainly talented and will be a tight race again
this season. Lundqvist inevitably give up goals, but wins are coming
his way as well.
2006 Statistics:
37 Wins - 2.34 GAA - .917 SV% - 5 SO
2008 Projection:
41 Wins - 2.46 GAA - .924 SV% - 6 SO
7. Marty Turco - Stars - 2008 Preview:
Turco had a quit 38 win season last year while playing in
67 games. Fortunately for the fantasy wonder of Turco he gets to
play the Blackhawks on a regular basis.
2006 Statistics:
38 Wins - 2.23 GAA - .910 SV% - 6 SO
2008 Projection:
41 Wins - 2.48 GAA - .929 SV% - 6 SO
