Who do you think is the all time greatest Nhl goaltender ??

 

[shanny14]

umm well past would have to be sawchuck / roy.. hate to admit the roy part but eh..

id have to say my favorite was mike vernon in his detroit season in '97 but thats just me.

 

[Brodeur]

Martin Brodeur is the best no doubt !!!

 

[Hkyfn]

Greatest goalie? There are just too many to pick from, hard to say specifically who the "greatest" is. Break it down by eras. Heres a few great ones (of many!):

Glenn Hall
Tony Esposito
Bernie Parent
Ken Dryden
Johnny Bower
Terry Sawchuck
Billy Smith
George Vezina (even named a trophy after him!)
Patrick Roy
Marty Brodeur

and on and on..............

[shanny14]

Martin Brodeur is the best no doubt !!!

[shanny14]

If we are going non nhl... Id have to say Tretiak! come on the guy was friggen awesome for the soviets.

 

[lil_azn_dragun]

My favorite of all time would have to be Patrick Roy except his attitude!
Also from the present , would be a few Kipper,Brodeur,Ward and luongo.

 

[shanny14]

LOL , patty couldnt fight his way outta a paper bag though :laugh: that was the best part!

 

[hockey_gurl_13]

Jacques Plante

Jacques Plante has to go down as one of the greatest goaltenders also.

YA, thats his name... i was trying to remember...thank you! haha...i made a project on him..

I guess I would have to go with Ken Dryden. It's hard to pick.

The only reason Roy was good, had nothing to do with ability, it was all about the size of his equipment, I mean everything was over sized!!! Why do you think he retired? He knew they were coming in with smaller everything.

I agree,That was true about Roy

 

[1_Fleury_4]

I'd have to say Patrick Roy, but I've always been a Mike Vernon fan. Right now Kiprusoff is the best... stats! No bias!

 

[biron_81]

Along with Plante, Dryden, Brodeur, Roy, Sawchuck, I'd say Vladislav Tretiak.
He was my favorite goalie growing up.

 

[Sanitarium]

Patrick Roy.

What are you talking about!!!? 4 Cups 3 Conn Smyths all those vezina's. Roy's best years were in Montreal. Don't you remember the size he was back then. I agree in his last years in Colorado he was pretty big. But even then you can't say that about Roy. You can say that about a guy like Lalime or of Giguere and even more Garth Snow , but not Roy!
