I agree with the majority of the peoplke on this list with saying that Martin Brodeur is probably the best goalie in the NHL but that was not the question. The Question as who is the most clutch goalie in the league. And that my friends is Henrik Lundquist.
King Henrik is next to unbeatable in the clutch situation and thanks to the new rules of the NHL clutchness of goalies has a stat. It called the shootout. Henrik is the best goalie in a shootout. Also since the all-star break he has the best Save % in the league. Bringing a team with no defense into the playoff race. I believe the Second half of the season is clutch time and King Henrik definitely delivers.

Hands down Brodeur is as cool as a cucumber. Not only currently but IMO one of the best EVER.
^^^ I don't think that the Devils are a "mediocre" team. They are actually pretty good.
JKC-Miller LOL. Yeah he has accomplished so much and when the play-offs roll around, the SO means NOTHING. Besides Holmqvist has stopped 26 of 27 SO attempts this year. Is he the most clutch? No.
Also, like the U.S. would even get to overtime vs. Canada on Canadian soil with Crosby and company in their prime. Might as well give Canada the gold now. Miller LOL.
You homer Sabre fans-MILLER IS NOT EVEN TOP 5.

Brodeur hands down. He was clutch in winning 3 Stanley Cups, a World Cup and the Olympics. Not even Hasek can match that.

that's easy Martin Brodeur.
jkc3953>>>>Ryan Miller is not even close of being in Brodeur's skates. Ryan Miller has a team in front of him that can score and that helps out allot and if they don't score which is really hard to do come playoff time he will choke big time. and plus who cares about the stupid shootout anyways there not there to save them in the playoffs look at what happened to the Dallas Stars last year. Ryan Miller maybe ranked 10th in the NHL for goalies. so please don't ever mention his name with Brodeur's.
GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Martin Brodeur, and I'm going to be different, and say Ryan Miller. Brodeur.. that's obvious why he is one of the top at everything, but nobody seems to remember Miller, and deserves credit. He's #1 in the NHL in his Shootout Record, and one of the best goalies in breakaways in the league, he can make amazing saves, so can Brodeur. Brodeur is better all-around, and is more clutch, but don't forget these 2 words when the Olympics come around again and you see the USA upsetting Brodeur and Team Canada, Ryan. Miller.

Brodeur has 3 Stanley cups, and is carrying a mediocre Devil's team to near the top of the standings, so if someone has some other choice, I would really like to hear the reasoning behind it.

probably luongo (CURRENTLY)...without him, the Canucks would be either 4th or 5th in the Northwest, but they're currently 1st in the division, winning an absolutely ENORMOUS number of one-goal games. Hopefully he'll be just as clutch in the playoffs
