Pascal Leclaire of the Columbus Blue Jackets has to be the worst starting goalie in the NHL. The Jackets almost have to let him start because they invested (wasted?) a first round draft choice on him, only to see him struggle at the NHL level. Leclaire has trouble with rebounds, positioning, concentration, and just simply doesn't deliver when the game is on the line. In fact, Fredrik Norrena and even Steve Mason have passed Leclaire in terms of Blue Jackets goaltending hierarchy in the eyes of many within Columbus brass.
Mike- Anyone can look like Patrick Roy playing against the Coyotes. Yep, it's only been two games, but when Leclaire continues to post those same numbers (but against the likes of Detroit, Colorado, Calgary, Anaheim, San Jose, etc.) then we have a debate.

I don't see any votes for Telqvist in Phoenix yet.
LOL - you could put any answer here couldn't you as long as it's what you believe. After all there's nothiing wrong with ANY opinion, you just may find few people that share it.
LMAO - while you're all dishing LeClaire he's playing a great game against Phoenix. I don't want to jinx the guy but the 'Yotes have yet to score and the game is nearly over.

Me.
Even JFJ wouldn't let me start, or back up the starter. Wouldn't even give me an interview for the job, not even a free ticket. Nothing. Can't blame him though, I'm so bad I couldn't even stop those fat a$$ security guards from kicking my a$$ out the door. Does that count, being that I never got to the NHL?
If not, I dunno, how do guage such a thing? Goalies who look bad are usually the product of a bad defense, making them look worse.

Telqvist in Phoenix....Remember, they gave up on this guy and shipped him to the desert....now he's dessert for the high scoring, reiging cup champ holding Pacific division. He will lose his job before Boxing Day...No Doubt

So 1 person said Toskala, idiot.
2 people said Raycroft, also dumb because he isnt a starter.
Toskala technically isnt a "starter" yet either, because Maurice is undecided to who will be the starter, They are spliting the games.
I agree with Snoop, Pascal Leclaire, Columbus really needs to find themselves a strong Starter.

I'm gonna have to go with Marc-Andre Fleury of the Penguins. He had an awful preseason and his regular season isn't starting out much better. Even last year his numbers weren't all that good and he won mostly because of the Pittsburgh offense.

It would have been Dan Cloutier, but he's done.
If you go just by losses, it could be Roloson since he had 34 losses last year.
It's really too early to tell this year, and it changes every year.
