kozzy Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I grew up in NH in the 80s, so Boston was my team. All I can tell you is we called Lemelin, Reggie "Let-em-in"... Perhaps unfair, but Andy Moog was the guy during that time period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) I know he had cups of coffee with a couple other teams (same can be said for Ozzie) - but being from the mitten and an unofficial Red Wing "historian" - Terry Sawchuk has to be the go to for Detroit. Hands down. I mean if you are synonymous with the position of goalie - period - then you kind of have to be the default of the team where you made your name. I know it was mentioned that it wasn't about stats but c'mon - 447 wins (not counting playoffs which put him over 500) which held for decades and before the watered down effects of expansion - 103 which were by shutout (tack on another 12 in the playoffs). A shutout every 4.3 games. Unreal. Edited March 6 by chile57 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 The Blues are a tough one. Some great goalies through the years. Cup runs, etc. Glenn Hall played just 4 years. Same with Eddie Johnson. They seemed to revolve goalies until Ed Staniowski lasted 6 years into 1981. Mike Liut played 6 also (1980-1985). Was pretty good there. Greg Millen and Cujo did 6 years each too. Forget that Cujo was there and until he left was one of the most tenured goalies in Blues history. What a helmet too! Fuhr did 4 (96-99) had a nice run there but he's an Oiler. Although Fuhr's gear was amazing and he jumped with the uniform change too. What sty! Brent Johnson played 5. He did ok. Then they ran through goalies again until Jake Allen and Jordan Binnington came along. Both at 7 seasons now. Binnington plays next year with the Blues and becomes the longest tenured goalie in their history. How about that? Liut still has the most games at 347 versus Binnington at 267. All things considered the Blues most iconic would still remain Liut. Binnington may play more than Liut - but he'll never have that iconic look to him like Mike Liut had. But hoisting the cup is as iconic as you can get... Goes to show gear matters. Binnington changed gear so often you don't have one iconic image of him. Not his fault - it's how it is today. All his gear is pretty nice though. His masks all look like blues colors diarrhea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His masks all look like blues colors diarrhea Lifting the first cup in franchise history will always win major points for being a teams iconic goalie, especially a team that never truly had one like the Blues. Add in longest tenured, it's a pretty valid argument. Not many teams can say their current goalies are their most iconic, just the Lightning? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chile57 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Binnington be damned - Cujo will always be St. Louis to me. Or Vincent Riendeau. Just look at that kit top to bottom. ... who also looked good in the Winged Wheel... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chenner29 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I'll play too, I think these choices are heavily dependent on the era you grew up in Anaheim - Giguere Arizona - Khabibulin Boston - Thomas Buffalo - Hasek Calgary - Kipper Carolina - Ward Chicago - Admittedly a weird choice - Thibault Colorado - Roy Columbus - Detective Sergei Bobrovsky Dallas - Belfour Detroit - Osgood Edmonton - Cujo. Meme vote goes to Salo Florida - Luongo LA - Quick Minnesota - Backstrom Montreal - Roy Nashville - Rinne NJ - Brodeur NYR - Richter, honorable mention to Lundy NYI - DiPietro (that contract lol) Ottawa - Emery (RIP), honorable mention to Lalime for the Marvin the Martian mask PHI - Bryz (tigers and outer space lol) PIT - Fleury SJS - Nabby SEA - I guess Grubauer. STL - nobody really of note; I'd say Binnington if I had to (won a Cup). Meme vote goes to Brodeur TBL - Vasi TOR - Potvin VAN - McLean, honorable mention to Luongo VGK - Fleury WAS - Kolzig or Holtby WPG - Helleybuck, but if we're talking as a franchise, Lehtonen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
