Now this is territory for a real shootout. There are obviously a lot of goalies the players do not want to face.

This starts with Roberto Luongo and it probably has a lot to do with his play in the last couple of weeks. He's been hot and has been reminding the league why he's one of the best in the game.

Then Tim Thomas and Ryan Miller are virtually in a tie. It must be quite a thrill for Thomas, who is coming back from a year where people wondered if he was nearing the end. It's clear that is not the case now.

Finally Henrik Lunqvist, who is doing pretty well this year. He leads the league in shutouts with 7 and has a save percenge of .924.

Questions for the poll were written by Hockey Night in Canada and the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA). The questions were circulated to players by the NHLPA. The responses were compiled by staff members of the NHLPA and forwarded to Hockey Night in Canada. 318 players responded to the questionnaire.
