He's playing well... but he's not outplaying Rinne or Price.

Strong season though for sure.

Has he won anything of consequence or led his team to this? No, there is your answer. He came in as a rookie and was hot, then his play regressed and now he's found his game again. When he is amongst the league leaders between the pipes for several years in a row or several years in short order (as every goalie can have a down year) then this conversation would carry some merit.

Right now he's a guy having a great year, plain and simple.

remember when the Rangers beat him 5-0 in a game 7 in Washington 2 years ago?

the goalie that got the shutout in games 6 and 7 of that series is the best.

What part of this didn't you understand :

Holtby is certainly not the best goaltender in the league yet , but, at the moment, the 24 year old is quickly becoming a stud and the workload he's facing isn't something he's shying away from.

I guess it is expecting a lot for a Rangers fan to read an article.

I think it's called "try to get some hits on your blog", which is sort of what this site is all about (especially for a blogger of a team like the Caps, who have very few followers on here).

it was a sensationalized title. It would have been better if it was worded.. "one of the best.."
