But he actually had a solid quality over quantity decade. Meh, what can you do?)<BR/><BR/>Luongo might not have gotten any votes, indeed. But in my "can anyone beat Brodeur?" post Luongo was the other name floating by.<BR/><BR/>Hey, it's my fault the list is silly.

I don't think I can take that as a serious pick for 00-09. I couldn't stand Gary Thorne's throbbing boner for the guy back on ESPN, and considering that he's been more newsworthy for his "will he or wont he" antics than his actual play on the ice for the last 3-4 years, I think that's a pretty bad pick for an all-decade team. I'd give it to Thornton narrowly over Sakic, and thats mostly just a reflection of Sakic coming to the very end of his career on a very bad team.<BR/><BR/>I'd also take Ovechkin over Jagr, but I have much less problem with that pick. Jagr has a bigger body of work this decade, but Ovechkin's skill and style I think are better. Plus, can you imagine how awesome a team with Iginla and Ovechkin on the wings would be? That'd be a pretty mean first line, and thats before you get to the fact that they can snipe like nobody's business.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, if I were building a team to try to win, I'd pick Pronger over Niedermayer, especially with Lidstrom already there for a partner. That said, for an award, as far as I'm concerned, Pronger can go to hell.<BR/><BR/>How does no one vote for Luongo for goalie of the decade though? Steve Mason gets a vote, Hasek gets one for being largely irrelevant or worse for the bulk of the decade, and Brodeur gets to ride with a loaded team (not that he isn't a good goalie, but he does have an advantage in the team he plays for), and Luongo got no love? As far as I'm concerned, he is easily the best in the league right now, and has been for several years.<BR/><BR/>Also, damn its been a long time since I posted on blogspot, since both Mirtle and BoC moved to SBN.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892367633984292438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3761321691079178688.post-20535884600315381602009-03-02T13:06:00.000-06:002009-03-02T13:06:00.000-06:00Oops I'll fix it.
