Really?? Ken Dryden is an all time great, but you would be “one of those” that would state his success because of being on great teams. He was great, as is Fleury!!! As a goaltender myself, his movement was exceptional, including when with the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles. He WAS the draw!!!!
It would be interesting to see you stay categories with stars like Tony O or Cheevers, or Plante and Parent (or many others).
It seems like you have it in for the best teammate of all time, not to mention HOF goalie.
Go back to your desk job...
Did you ever play goal for at least a Jr.A or college team??
I am sure you have been told what to do with that trophy before but besides your fabulous statistics charts you have provided, Fleury came to a town that had no professional sports per say and along with him and several others enlightened a community that suffered a major loss and united them into a robust fan base that are not fair weather fans and show up win or lose. So don't care if they lose, he still leads a team that can get thru this and continues to bond with this small town of over 2 million. So again take your trophy and......
Goalies, like all players have ups and downs. Goalie is a position that shows those ups and downs as a game and season wear on. Just look at the flame out of Tristan Jarry in the playoffs this year. Buried in that story is the fact that the Penguins top 6 only scored a handful of times but no one seems to be putting much blame on Crosby or Malkin. The Islanders have used two goalies in the playoffs. On any given night either of them can look like world beaters or sieves. The best rule of goaltending is when you've got a hot one strap the saddle on him and ride him until he dies because it might never happen again. Case in point, nearly every goaltender discussed below.
He obviously had a really strong year in 2014, but apart from that, it always felt that he was never able to back-up his "best goalie in the world" narrative.
He still has a first class ticket to the hall fo fame. Regardless of all those number he still got wins. You think the coaches cared how? He did enough to get the job done and did that a lot
This did not age well lol. Won a vezina with HIGH stats. Got dished to Chicago and even on a god awful team makes amazing saves and keeps them in games. #HOF
This article is the biggest piece of crap I think I have ever read. You should be embarrassed of this. Just looking to get some attention any way you can I suppose.
This is a ridic article cuz for #1 im pretty sure he leads this season for expected goals saved .but the biggest reason is get over shit ! There's a HELLUVA LOT of people that have won individual awards that I'd pay if I were a gm to get off my team that won trophys that don't deserve them or shouldve never received them .or hell are just head scratchers. Guys that are snubbed .so you can take those awards and shove them quite honestly .I could give you a large list of Norris trophy winners that are terrible and overrated and some selke winners that won cuz of their name NOT the years stats .so BIG EFFIN DEAL .he by far deserves that trophy this yr .Lalalala ..Price was good maybe a couple yrs .so overrated .theres def more .
Hard to top (or bottom) Tim Thomas or Crawford as being more overrated. I.have long raised the argument that since 1980, the best goalies in the league have been the Cup winners.
If you look at that list, maybe 2 or 3 would be your first overall pick in a fantasy league. Roy? Quick? Hasek & Belfour won long past their primes. And don't even mention the Maytag repairman of goalies in NJ, the king of the 6 save shutout, who never won playoff MVP (even his losing opponent did) because a crate of eggs on a chair wouldn't have even had a shell broken in that crease.
Did he bang your wife or something god damn

And looks like now he’s going too win the Vezina this season. This article didn’t age too well for you did it? Moron
Would actually like to see Lundqvist's stats...how do you gather all that information??
Would love to see a similar analysis on Price.

Osgood? Ward? Vernon? Regular season Billy Smith?
