I am not saying he shouldn't go, I am just trying to figure out why he is such a slam dunk to a lot of people.

1. He has still proven to step up big under pressure situations. That is not a trait that just disappears or appears with time. Ask Fluery..
2. The entire team was a hot mess. Surely you can't blame the teams lack of success on him, can you?
3. Yes. I can agree with you there.
4. No. Statistically Cam Ward has been far more consistent than each player you listed. Fleury only achieved that mark once, Smith twice, and Crawford twice.
His consistency + ability to step up in big games is what makes him a favorite in my books.
Of the three you listed I think Corey Crawford has the best chance at making a strong push if he continues to play at such a high level moving forward.
