If UPL had an average defense he’d be elite. Every games he’s making too many high end saves because of the Sabres defensive lapses. He’s been great most games, even when the team loses.
What I think of Stuart Skinner of the Oilers, I think of a very streaky goalie. That said, the Oilers already top-3 divisional spot while the Flames are in a wildcard spot and the Canucks are just out of a playoff spot.
It's actually a pro skill how us Habs fans literally always find something to complain about. 😂 Im more then extatic knowing Monty is in the same tier of guys like Binnington with his contact and the fact we got him off waivers.
I agree that superstars should be able to steal games but the rangers dcore has been SO absurdly bad that I think shesterkin is still a superstar despite the surface stats not being there this year
Have you seen Skinner in the last month. I know he had a bad start but he’s been really good since then and I know last season doesn’t matter much but he did get to game seven of the finals. I think his numbers have actually been comparable to Bob. He’s not great but he’s at least a tier up from meh.
People overreact to last year with Kuemper, his first year in Washington was not bad, SV% was above league average and GSAx was pretty good (not far outside top 10). Even last year his save % was low but his GSAx was barely negative and he's back to above average this year and that's including the Ottawa game he played hurt before going on IR. If you look over his entire career last year is his only year below .900SV% and even then only has one year below .905 and it was a .902 in 2016.
Talbot has been good. Considering the last month Detroit just gave up on Lalonde. Even with the 2-1 record since the new coach Detroit has looked more aware. More energy.
I generally agree with Mike and not the fellow commenters. By what metric is Montembeault better than someone like Logan Thompson? Thompson has a career 91.3% and 91.8% this season. Montembeault has a horrible career 89.9% and 90.2% this season. Thompson's goals saved above expected per 60 is 0.801. Montembeault's is 0.206. Thompson has a comparable number of games played, is larger, younger, and has won a cup. Even when accounting for defense and the surrounding team, Thompson heavily outperforms Montembeault by any metric.
If you’re going to completely disregard Hellebuycks playoff performance last year, then why are you taking Vejmelkas low points from years prior into account? I believe Hellebuyck is the only “superstar” tender as well, but if Vejmelka is top 3 in the league, then how can you put ,ore than half a dozen other tenders in the elite category while placing him in “good”? Seems kinda like some BS tier placement to me..
Georgiev needs his own category because of how bad he is
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I watched this right after Montembeault got a .934 against the Golden Knights and got the first star of the game. He's at least in the third tier
The Minnesota Wild also have a bad penalty-kill (70%) and Gustavsson is still putting up elite numbers.
When he’s not playing I fear for the wild right now he’s the glue holding the team together
You’re still criminally underrating Monty man
Monty in good at least
He has a career 89.8%. Once of the lowest career save percentages in the league. He's 90.2% this year, which is pretty close to his career average.

You should rank every teams first line

Putting Spencer Martin in superstar is bold but I respect it
Logan Thompson definitely on his way to the elite tier, the guy is an absolute beast
For sure by years end he may be there
As VGK is my third favourite team it stung to see LT go. He developed a ton considering how inconsistent he was last year.
I would still choose Swayman as the top of the good tier, but I would take Thompson over Daccord as the next most likely to jump up to elite.
Definitely sleeping on Montembeault here

Good and solid basically the same tier
I don’t wanna be to arsh but you do underrate Montembault, he is the only reason we won games in november and beginning of december!
Happy New Year🎉!!
I'm a Montreal fan and have to agree with you on montembeault. He may have good and the occasional elite game but he had plenty of bad one's too..
Damn my boy MB got more white hairs!! His islanders be stressing him out!! Haha much love MB love your content and Happy New Year!!🎆🎊
Cory Snierder snubbed
Islanders legend
Great work Mike! Appreciate your videos!

Bro ur content is insane, keep it ip
8:47 UPL will be in elite once the Sabres actually start to win
if you put Blackwood at good you gotta put monty as good too.
I’d probably keep Shesterkin in elite too, but I wonder how much injury has impacted his play the last month or so.
Skinner should not be in meh imo. He has been amazing all throughout December and toward the end if November
Going to predict this now, Blackwood will win 1 Vezina with the Avs at some point during his contract.
Talbot has been good. Considering the last month Detroit just gave up on Lalonde. Even with the 2-1 record since the new coach Detroit has looked more aware. More energy.
another video another good day
Thanks!
Nice tier list
You should do ranking every teams #1 d core
Anderson honestly top of good or low elite if healthy
Honestly gotta drop oettinger to good, he’s capable of elite stretches but overall he’s just a good starter
Kevin Lankinen superstar
real

Sorokin 2.92Gaa with a .898% and last year a 3.01 Gaa with a 908%and still an elite ?
It makes me so sad to see Jeremy swayman getting dicked down because of Boston's short comings, he's a great goalie who is getting failed by his team.
Veggie veggie veggie!
W list
"canadiens fans are gonna..."
Yeah they're gonna.
The merzy disrespect is crazy
Bro why does Markstrom lowkey look like Kucherov? 😅
What I like most about your rankings Mike is that you never overreact. Great work as always and Happy 2025!!🎉
Hellebuyck >>> Shesterkin
I'm going into this video wondering how hard he's gonna disrespect Vasy
Not as hard as I was expecting
let go senators!
Vasy’s gotta be in superstar
Used to be
Montembaut should be higher
Mike your comments on Twitter are inexcusable
ondrej pavelec?
Adin Hill had a .864 tonight, no way you put him in good 😐
one game
He had an elite December. A couple .800's aren't that bad especially knowing he consistently performs .930%'s in playoffs. Chill.
Didn’t realize one game represented a goalies skill 🤡

I completely disagree
At the moment hellebuyck leads the league in wins, shutouts, save percentage, and goals against
I wouldn't put this season Saros in elite. He's good starter but not elite.
Man maybe don't talk about goalies when it's so obvious you know nothing about goaltending.
You don’t know puck in the slightest why do people even listen to you
First
Stud Matthew!
Demko should be in superstar
glaze
@ demko and lankinen is the best tandem in the league
@@CanucksNateLMFAO NO NOT EVEN CLOSE
@ yes they are
