Sure there’s people that say Brodeur is good, but most everyone says he’s on a better team than Roy ever was and it’s the defense he gets in front of him that makes him look good.

I never heard something about this rumor PeterPuck, but that might be a good one. Hurricane have which pick? second, third or fourth I think? Don’t know who they should pick but this young might be on the team this year or next.

This so true, with the equipment today, (including players sticks) , the game as changed very much, there was a time when the goalie wasn't the best athletic on the team, that is why the greats of past, ie, sawchuk, bower, plante, parent, worsely, etc, stood out. Now the goalies today are the best athletic's on the team, they are more agile, stonger and so much taller/bigger, it would be interesting to see plante played today, and let;s reverse that, it would be interesting to see today's goalies play with the old equipment and see how they do....

Old Nord, i have been hearing through the grapevine that Savard will be looking to trade up in the draft and there might be a deal with the huricanes, have you heard anything.......

cheers mate.

Goalies are kooks

What kind of man relishes the idea of stopping a 100 mph slapshot with his body, then flops around like he's been shot with a 12 guage when he's brushed by an opponent.

Forgetting off ice antics, Roy will be remebered making bold moves and actions that cost him a little, but gained him everything (his exit from Montreal was classic!!). Too bad he didn't wear the maple leaf more. But thats where Martin Brodeur will be remembered where Roy will not. Brodeur wore the maple leaf and got us our first gold medal in 50 years...its still fairly recent, but mark my words, as far as history goes, getting us the gold is a far greater achievment than any patrick roy has accomplished. Because Roy wasn't assured the starters role for the olympics, he cried and went home, while joseph, brodeur, and belfour checked their egos at the door and gave it all for canada. And even then Joseph still got the the job, yet tanked it. So who comes along to pick up the pieces?

Martin Broduer

He may play for the most boring team of all time, but I'll forever thank Martin Brodeur for playing so well during the olympics.

I guess being an ass gets you somthing doesn't it patrick? It gets you NO GOLD MEDAL!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

For what he did in the NHL or because he was the wise man to wear a mask at first Plante is a good pick. It’s hard to decide who was the best in the entire history of the NHL. Sawchuk was a great one too. That’s why we must rank who is the better goalie by generation. We will never know how this guys would perform in the NHL of today.

where do you think Roy came from, THE EAST, and he had respect when he left.

I know that, I just wanted to add my two cents…still great post (idea). IMO i agree but in the history of the nHL, i think Plante was the best.
