I think Roy was the best goalie. Buffalo and NJ were primarily focused on defense, so Hasek and Broduer got a lot of help from that, both still great goalies though. Roy was such an ass, hated him as my team, the Wings, always met them in the playoffs. Gretzky was def the best player ever though.

I think Brodeur is better because he holds the most records for any goalie ever. Roy is an ass but I respect him.

I left Roy off the list out of spite . ::)

Now Jaques Plante, on the other hand... there was a dude I can respect.

Agree with you about Brodeur and Hasek getting helped out by solid D. CuJo, too.

Hate Roy lol, he's a total a-hole but he was a great goalie. Still remember him getting into fights with my team  :). Hasek and Cujo weren't so great when they came to the Wings, but in fairness, they were older and out of their primes by then.

Greatest goalie is Martin Brodeur.

He definitely is, but as a goalie my coaches have always told me not to idolize him because goalies who do that tend to try to play like him. His style of play only works because he is such a talented player, with lots of good reflexes and instincts. Some goalies have the right skill set to play like that, but obviously no one can play that style better than Brodeur ^-^

The Sabres fan in me had to vote for Dominik Hasek.

But I know in all truth that Wayne Gretzky is probably ze Greatest.

(Hey at least I'am being honest now!)  ;D

Lol when I used to go to hockey games there would always be this guy wearing a Leafs Jersey even when they weren't playing, I though it was hilarious, but back then the Leafs were better and Mats Sundin was awesome!

Not the Leafs of today. Now a mutant time-warp fusion of the Leafs of '48, '63, '78 and '94? That would kick.

The Leafs aren't that bad this season though.

SlapShot is an awesome movie.

If Super Mario wasn't plagued with injuries, who knows what he could of done? There's a chance he could of beat Gretzky in points.
