RichMan Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I'm bored, so here goes... Which is the most iconic goalie per team in their history, and I don't necessarily mean stats or numbers, just that one guy that resonates his team. *Don't get all bent out of shape if you disagree or I happen to not mention one or just ran a blank. It's supposed to be fun! It's just hockey...and life...and all that the universe has to offer My pics: Montreal - Patrick Roy...Dryden close 2nd Toronto - Mike Palmateer...Cujo close 2nd Detroit - Chris Osgood Boston - Reggie Lemelin Chicago - Phil Esposito...Belfour close 2nd Edmonton - Grant Fuhr Pittsburgh - Marc-Andre Fleury N.Y. Islanders - Billy Smith N.Y. Rangers - Lundquist...Richter close 2nd New Jersey - Martin Brodeur Tampa Bay - Khabibulin...Vassy close 2nd Colorado - Jean-Francois Giguere Los Angeles - Jonathan Quick Philadelphia - Pelle Lindberg...Ron Hextall close 2nd Dallas - Marty Turco Anaheim - Ryan Miller Calgary - Mike Vernon...Kipprusof close 2nd Carolina - Arthur Irbe St-Louis - Mike Liut Las Vegas - Washington - Holtby Arizona - Sean Burke Buffalo - Hasheck Columbus - Florida - Robert Luongo Ottawa - Patrick Lalime Nashville - Rhinne Minnesota - Gilles Meloche (make the connection) Seattle - Winnipeg - Hellabuyck Vancouver - Kirk McLean San Jose - Nabakov... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller for Anaheim is wild. It should Obviously be Jonas Hiller. That Giguere guy was trash Hiller was so much better. He is also top 5 all time in playoff save percentage which really means he is the greatest goalie in NHL history. He also played for the Flames so that means he is also their most iconic goalie ever. Goat!!!! Jokes aside I would pick Giguere, Hiller, or Gibson before Miller for the ducks. Vegas is still probably Fleury but in a few years I think it could be Thompson. I just don’t see Hill being there long term for some reason. Columbus has got to be Bob. Also Parent has got to be in there for Philly!

Great idea, this will be fun, lets go: Anaheim - Hiller of course, but it is definitely J. S. Giguere Arizona - Mike Smith Buffalo - "Hasheck" .. I know what you did here . Ottawa - Craig Anderson Toronto - Cujo, iconic as goalie can be Boston - Tim Thomas.. just for his gear changes Chicago - Crawford Colorado - Roy more than Gigi Los Angeles - I don´t care Calgary - Hiller of course, but it is Kipper Minnesota - Backström Florida - Luongo or Beezer? Luongo Carolina - Ward Rangers - Lundqvist or Richter? Lundqvist Washington - Kölzig or Holtby.. can´t say one over another Columbus - BOB! Winipeg - Hellebuyck San Jose - Nabokov St. Louis, Seattle - I don´t know, do they have any? Vegas - MAF Vancouver - McLean easy ones: Montreal - Roy, Roy and Roy Detroit - So Good Osgood Edmonton - Fuhr..granted Pittsburgh - MAF Islanders - Billy Smith, you can´t say any other without fear New Jersey - Brodeur.. is there any other goalie in NJD or he still plays for them? Philadelphia - Hextall Dallas - Turco Nashville - Rinne Edited February 29 by mik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullright Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Very cool topic! Chicago: Tony, not Phil, Esposito....sorry @RichMan Age alert: Canucks: King Richard Brodeur Flyers: Bernie Parent Bruins: Gerry Cheevers Kings: Rogie Vachon/our @Wonder35 Where do we put Terry Sawchuk, Glenn Hall, and Jacques Plante?

MTH Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Dallas is tough. Turco was a stud there. Eddie had a great run. But for me - because of my age - Andy Moog is it.

Maybe I should have said - not many older than 34. But it seems that the late 20s/ early 30s guys are the most prevalent. As with all pro sports!

But it seems that the late 20s/ early 30s guys are the most prevalent. As with all pro sports! Pretty sure in the post-lockout era NHL ('06 on) goalies have always been that later twenties to early thirties for hitting their stride. Some of the biggest names in the league are all within that parameter: Georgiev - 27 Saros - 28 Demko - 28 Sorokin - 28 Shesterkin - 28 Vasilevksy -29 Though, going over that list I linked, it does look like there's a pretty even spread for age brackets for starters in the NHL. However, Oettinger, Skinner, and Swayman are the only guys 25 and younger that have made an impact over a few seasons. There's some other good goalies getting starts in that age bracket, but the above three have been around the league for a while now that you forget they're not essentially kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancreatic killed him. Even though he got old, his passion to play never left. Orval Tessier, the coach the last 2 years of TE's career, wanted to phase him out during his last season and play Bannerman. TE said screw it...called Lou Nanne, the boss of the Minnesota North Stars at the time, who had a spot laid out for him. Dollar Bill Wirtz got involved and said no. I dont think TE ever filed retirement papers. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.YOUNGoalie13 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Alright now everyone's doing it. Since @coopaloop1234 still thought I was 13 until I posted action pictures a few months ago, I'll make this list from a 2000s kid's prospective. Keep in mind I actually follow hockey and its history so some of my answers will still be older goalies. Ducks- Jonas Hiller (Gibson if you're a baby born after 2004) And yes really the Hiller/Quick playoff battles were great back in my day Coyotes- Mike Smith (anger management) Bruins- Rask (more anger management) Sabres- Dominik Hasek (they've never had a consistent guy in my lifetime) Flames- Mikka Kiprusoff Hurricanes- Cam Ward Blackhawks- Corey Crawford (carried by good teams, from a kid in Chicago) Avalanche- Semyon Varlamov Blue Jackets- Sergei Boobtitski Stars- Kari Lehtinen Red Wings- Jimmy Howard Oilers- Fuhr (who else am I supposed to say? Viktor Fasth or Jeff Deslaurier? ASS) Panthers- Rubber-Toe Luongo Kings- Jonathan Extremely Fast Wild- Niklas Backstrom Canadiens- Carey Price Predators- Pekka Rinne Devils- Martin Brodeur (special shoutout to Corey Schneider when he first got to NJ) Islanders- Billy Smith (they had 2,000 goalies before Sorokin took over) Rangers- Henrik Lundqvist Senators- Craig Anderson (CYA alumn) Flyers- Ron Hextall (although Hart's going to become to most well known once he goes to prison for sexual assault lol) Penguins- Marc-Andre Fleury Sharks- Niemi or Jones or some other guy that was good for 2 seasons Kraken- Philip Grubauer (6 million for more injuries than seasons played with the team) Blues- Brian Elliot (was so underrated in the late 2000s and early 2010s) Lightning- Ben Bishop (for my era but Khabibulin is iconic. Vasy is getting there too) Leafs- Curtis Joseph (Holy fuck maybe if they won a playoff series once in a while we'ed remember one of their goalies. A sad Freddy Andersen or James Reimer comes to mind) Canucks- Roberto Luongo (real stud Lu in VAN. Rubber-Toe edition was in Florida when he was stiff and lived on the ir) Golden Knights- Oscar Dansk (hehe just kidding it's Malcom Subban. gotcha again!) Marc-Andre Fleury Capitals- Braden Holtby (won them a cup when nobody else could so...) Jets- Onjrei Pavelec (Hellybellybucykuk needs to play longer and have more success. when I think thrashers to jets relocation I think of Pavelec) 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
