Best Netminder

[bidds55]

Modern era, without question Patrick Roy in my opinion. remember 1986? 1993? I am totally biased, but no goalie I have seen has had as strong a playoffs as Roy did in '93, and he was consistently better than everyone else in the league for most of his career.
Brodeur is a distant second in my view.

I think the best goalie still playing is Lundqvist. Hopefully Price passes him soon.

I think Hasek was better than both Marty and Roy in his best day. There is no way you can compare the Sabres to the Devils or Av's. Hasek, took that team to a caliber playoff team based on his play alone. You think of the Av's you think of a lot of guys Milan, Alex, Joe, Blake, and a few other names that could put up some O. The Devil's always had a great defensive system and with guys like Stevens and Niedermayer they made it work with just enough O to get them over the hump if Marty did his job. Hasek, didn't exactly have a lot in front of him on the D or the O as he did a lot of the work himself.

Also, everyone called him a flopper. So what if he lays on his back and closes his eyes. I mean the job is to stop the puck and he did it wonderfully flopping around. Is there anyone that could do what he did?



If so show me some leg kicks, blocker flaps, belly flops, etc. to stop the puck. He stopped the pucks (nuts).

Up untill i seen Roy's Remparts win the mem cup In Moncton. I would've said Patrick. But def. be Brodeur hands down. Proffesional on and off the ice.

Without a doubt, Dominik Hasek has to be the best goaltender in the modern era. Had he been allowed to play upon a year of getting drafted by the Blackhawks back in 1983, he'd probably own the record for most wins as well as most shutouts by the time he retired. Despite that, his accolades and career achievements speaks for itself already. No other goaltender has utilize the unorthodox style better than him as well. He was simply amazing to watch in action, flopping around and coming way out of the net to make plays, something that your traditional butterfly style goaltenders won't dare to do.

Mike Richter, Henrik Lundqvist

At least one guy on the bandwagon. LOL and I liked him best when he played for Buffalo as he was at the Top of his game handsdown. Any goalie that can get into the psyche of opponents with a flop is king in my book.
