JonathanQuick Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Who is the best goalie in the NHL ever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J0e Th0rnton Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 You will regularly see arguments for Hasek, Roy, Plante, sometimes Sawchuk, Dryden, Hall and Brodeur. Myself I find goalies hard to judge. Roy was the money goalie in the playoffs. I flip flop between him and Hasek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I go Brodeur Sawchuck Roy Dryden Hasek But check back tomorrow because I flip flop on this after #1. I stick with Brodeur on top but others slide around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Martin Brodeur Patrick Roy Dominic Hasek Ken Dryden should be in my top 5 but I don't like him personally so it affects how I view his career. I thought Billy Smith from the great Islanders teams of the early 80's was a money goalkeeper. If I had to pick a goalie to win a big game for me, I pick Brodeur all day every day.

ruxpin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I thought Dryden was awesome and loved his mask at the time. I can respect that choice. I'm not going to use the "defense" thing to down it, either, because Brodeur had that team defense and clutch/grab/trap system. Hasek did a lot of his on his own, but I never liked him. That clouds my pick. I respect a Roy pick. It's not as if he didn't have defense in front of him, either. I'm with mojo. If I need a goalie in a money game, I'm going Brodeur.

Kings Redeem LA Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hey JQ! You're not trying to sway this conversation with that username, are ya? For me it depends on the criterion or criteria for what you or anyone means by "best." Here's how I can answer situationally: If I need to win one playoff game, I'm picking Roy. And I'm also hoping that same team has Joe Sakic. Especially if the game goes to overtime. If I need a reliable, quality, superhuman goalie night after night, I'm going with Glenn Hall. With no mask, no breaks, no goalie swaps, he played 502 consecutive regular-season games! Add that to a career GAA of only 2.49 and we're dealing with one bad goaltending mutha! Added bonus: he's often quotable and funny in his print and video interviews. One of my favorite quips being his comment that with age comes wisdom = the biggest lie ever told. So here's to Glenn ! NHL Top 100 for many good reasons! for getting this thread started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
