Keeping Karlsson is an all-fantasy-hockey podcast presented by DobberHockey. Today's episode – the goaltender!

Editor's note: Brian Kom, former host of Dobber Nation, is back with co-host Elan Dubrofsky to talk some fantasy hockey every week via their podcast Keeping Karlsson

Your roster's G slot is unspeakably crucial to your fantasy team's success. And so, to ensure that it receives the attention and scrutiny that it deserves, we are pleased to present to you the most-anticipated, muchest-awaited episode of our Preseason Series: ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this year's Smögoåliesbord 2015.

In this longest episode ever of the podcast, Elan and Brian examine the outlook for every single goaltender likely to see time in the NHL this year– all the way from Allen to Zepp. We share our goaltending tiers that have been carefully constructed according to each tender's role on his team, individual numbers, and likelihood of team success.

Entrenched Number 1s, tenuous tandems, dark-horse backups all go under the microscope in this year's Smörgoåliesbord, and it's essential listening for any serious fantasy poolie.

Players discussed on this episode include every single goalie in the league, so we don't really need to actually type out the list this week. Enjoy!
