The Hockey News recently published an article in which eight current or former NHL goalies discussed a number of topics. Of course, the question of who is the best goalie in the NHL today came up. Both Grant Fuhr and Cory Schneider chose Henrik. I've included Schneider's response below:


Who’s the best goalie in the NHL today and why?

SCHNEIDER: A rival of mine Henrik Lundqvist, I always appreciate a guy who year in and year out just churns a way. For a decade or more he’s been one of the best goalies in the NHL, and I have a lot of appreciation for that longevity and how much he works at his craft.
