Agree. I´ve always been a fan of Niemi (since he played back in Finland) because he has the ability to raise his game when it matters. He has never been the flashiest goaltender and never really gotten the respect (even during the cup run in Chicago) but he truly is the opposite compared Lou or Schneider. A real fighter, never gives up and clutch player when needed. I´d take a goalie like Niemi anyday over these guys who look great during regular season in a no-pressure situation but have real stinkers in playoffs.
