Joint 7th all-time is just astonishing. While no active goalie has a prayer of getting close to Brodeur's numbers (unless they play to 45 to a high level), Lu is putting a case together as one of the best goalies of all time - not through our homerish eyes but through sheer facts. What a goalie, what a man.

Roberto Luongo’s latest milestone: now tied for 7th all-time in wins

Roberto Luongo isn’t just having a great season at an advanced age. He’s also reminding people of his impressive, perhaps Hall-of-Fame-worthy career.

He played nicely in the Florida Panthers’ 5-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. It wasn’t just a win that celebrated Aleksander Barkov‘s extension, either (Barkov scored in the contest, by the way).

Nope, Luongo continues to climb up the all-time rankings, as his 423rd career regular season win ties him with Tony Esposito for seventh in NHL history.

Here are the top seven, for your consideration:

1. Martin Brodeur – 691 wins
2. Patrick Roy – 551
3. Ed Belfour – 484
4. Curtis Joseph – 454
5. Terry Sawchuk – 447
6. Jacques Plante – 437
7. Espo and Lou – 423

In case you’re wondering, the highest-ranked active goalies not named Luongo are Henrik Lundqvist (17th place with 362 wins), Marc-Andre Fleury (20th with 340) and Ryan Miller (22nd with 334).

Where do you think Luongo ends this season, and when he hangs up the goalie pads to tweet funny things full-time?

It's going to come down to the last game of the season to see if he can pass, equal or fall short of Plante.

By the time it's said and done. Lu will get 500 but I don't think he'll get to Roy's 551

Fingers crossed though.  Should pass Plante this year, and pass Cujo easily next year.  He's got 2 more years at good pay, another at so-so, then it starts to tail off.  Whether he is willing/able to keep going on 1 million per will be the difference here.

Lu, here's to you playing out your contract, and putting that creep down a notch!
