Using our exclusive formula, we examine each NHL club's crease duo and rank them from top to bottom.
What do you really know about the men behind the masks, the ones who patrol your team’s crease?
Are they nice guys; do they talk to their goalposts; can they clear the puck well?

Now that was a great regular season!
Fans of the National Hockey League were treated to playoff races that went down to the wire; Alex Ovechkin played with heart and likely earned himself a Hart, while even an old dude like Jeremy Roenick proved he had something left in the tank when just about everybody was convinced he was running on fumes.
