2. Plante

3. Glen Hall?

 

Antiquities era:

1. Vezina

2, 3. Don't know anyone else

 

Clint Benedict comes to my mind immediately for the "Antiquities" era. How far back are you going for that?

Hainsworth was also who I had in mind asking how far back we're going for "antiquities."

hmm..Frank Brimsek? charlie gardiner? I read alot of hockey history on certain players, but i know next to nothing about the "antiquities" era besides the fact that it was way scarier back then... i mean, we dont have guys like sprague cleghorn anymore.

Was sprague cleghorn related to foghorn cleghorn?

I honestly don't think Dryden was that good. Aziz (where is he?!) could have played goal in front of that Defence and won a Cup. Plus, Dryden wrote that smarmy, trite, self-congratulatory book of his, which isn't even that good, and then became a lawyer and a politician. I hate that guy.

 

 

I was only a young teenager, so hard to compare with what I know now etc...but I'd venture to guess you never really remembered seeing Dryden play to come to that opinion. He was the size of Bishop and his side to side movement, glove hand....anticipation skills, smarts...pad stacking (yeah, that lost art...miss that)...he was elite in every aspect. There was a reason the Habs lost only 2 elimination games in his whole career, he was that good.

I saw enough of him to know that Parent was better.

@Podein25  If Parent would have done it for more than a few years, I'd agree. Even Dryden was not around enough...but I give a slight edge to Ken...and believe me, it pains me to admit that. Somewhere my Uncle Danny (RIP) is laughing at this post....one of the biggest Hab fans of all time. We often argued about this very thing....and I always stubbornly took Parent...but as long as my memory serves me correctly....I was slightly wrong.

@Podein25 I do think Parent was more athletic, but Dryden saw the game better. 8 seasons 6 cups....56 shutouts...that is scary. Think about that...in 8 seasons, he lost *2* elimination games....that is incredible.

I try not to think...

I voted Hasek, but I have to admit that short term, I think Dryden was better. Maybe I should rethink my vote with that in mind. If I say Orr was the greatest in spite of a short career, I might be inconsistent to not go with Dryden.

Well this is not just peak. You also have to take into consideration Prime, Consistency and longevity ETC and i believe Hasek was the best combination of those.

Probably had one of the greatest peaks of any goalie, he won the Hart, Lindsay and vezina in the same year and did it twice. Had a long prime that lasted from 1993-2000, thats almost the whole decade.

 

And at the age of 43, he was still able to put up 9.02 save %

Compared to when Brodeur was 42 he had a .899 save % 

Hasek played more games yet still managed to have a better save percentage.

 

Now lets compare Dominik to everybodys favourite Canadian boy, Brodeur

Yea um... @Ruxpin @Blocker

 

Brodeur doesnt match up well at all against a prime Hasek...

Hasek's individual awards and save percentage blow Brodeurs out of the water.

And Brodeurs GAA is just a bit better than Hasek playing with 2 HHOF defenseman and a trap oriented team...LOL

While Hasek played with  Buffalo scrubs

 

Bring up Wins all you want, or the stanley cups. But those are far more team oriented. 

You can say NJD never wins a stanley cup without Brodeur, but NJD would still be a playoff team.

Hasek carried his teams ALONE and made a bottom 3 team into playoff contenders.

Not a bum, but I am beginning to wonder if you don't have a stained Fatheadz Hasek poster hanging conspicuously above your bed.   :ph34r:
