Here's our second set of Saturday Afternoon Goalies (SAGs) of the new year.I'm gonna be honest here, when crunching these numbers, I honestly don't know how the time share works out. I do know that almost all the guys at the top have been dominating their time share, except Tim Thomas, who's just a monster, however, I don't like how Rask got three consecutive starts this past week and Thomas had to clean-up Rask's mess last Saturday in Buffalo. Luongo moves up because he had been dealing with some personal issues, but has since come back and posted three straight ridiculous games. Even though he's splitting time with Schneider, it only appears right now to be in back-to-back games. Lehtonen has his game back after starting off the new year with three consecutive games of giving up only two goals.

Hot 5:
1. Jonas Hiller - Over the past five games, Hiller has won 4 of them while allowing two or fewer goals in each of them... absolutely disgusting...
2. Roberto Lunogo - Since coming back, he's won three straight and posted ridiculous numbers. 1.33 GAA and a save percentage over .950!
3. Pekka Rinne - Had the night off against the Kings, but posted three straight games with only one goal allowed. He's been awesome!
4. Henrik Lundqvist - see Hiller above, why's he below Hiller then? Because he's sharing time with Biron...
5. Semyon Varlavmov - expect to see him in the top 25 soon if he keeps playing the way he's playing! The only knock against him is that he's only played 14 games so far this season (REALLY?) Yeah, but he's put up impressive numbers the past four games!
Cold 5:
1. Chris Mason - relegated to being Pavalec's backup, he can't even win his spot starts, why teams still have this guy? I don't know, but it's best to get rid of him sooner rather than later
2. Martin Brodeur - I think he's done guys...
3. Jaroslav Halak - two straight games giving up four goals per, he's a streaky guy right now, and that streak is cold....
4. Steve Mason - why does anyone have either of Columbus's goaltenders?
5. Nikolai Khabibulin - hasn't won since the middle of December, and it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better from here on out...
Flying under the Radar: Jose Theodore, James Reimer, Cory Schneider, Brian Boucher
