Marty’s regular season wins will never be touched.

Just saying, why is terry sawchuck’s photo with the Rangers? He was with the wings the majority of his career. Great players listed.

Its telling just how far modern equipment and training has come along that 8 of the top 10 are from the last 30 years.
Part of that is that the playoffs is now 4 rounds each with 7 games, but a big part of it is that we’re now in a spot where goalies can play three out of every 4 games instead of having 50 games being seen as a heavy workload.
Its also a tribute to just how special Sawchuk and Plante were that they’re on this list at all.

Hasek not being here is crazy

Great Quebec representation in that top 5

To put Brodeurs record in perspective: a goalie could win 40 games and the Stanley Cup every year and it would still take them 15 years to catch Brodeur in Regular+Playoff Wins

Interesting. Awesome Hall of Fame additions.
I knew some of those players. I wasn’t aware of some others like Grant Fuhr and Jacques Plante.

French Canadians are the entire top 3. 4 out of 5 of the top 5 and half the top ten. Insane

Wins are not a goalie stat. Much like they are not a QB stat.

800 wins is fucking insane. Doesn’t matter how well you play, you’re only ever going to win one game. Forwards have good games, they get multiple points or goals. And they don’t play 82 games a season.

Cujo is still my favourite. I wish we had somebody like him the past 4 years.

Hasek and Roy were both better

Eddie as a Blackhawk and Loo as a Canuck.. just seems wrong lol

Weird seeing Blues Legend Brodeur in a Devils jersey. Must have been his early years in the league.

Surprised that Sawchuck didn’t stick around to break 500 wins, especially with only one win to do it….

11 – Chris Osgood, 475

Weird to use Sawchuk in a Rangers jersey when he had a total of 3 wins for them RS and playoffs

Player =/= team
Goalies occupy 100% of the ice time of 1 of 6 positions so they deserve credit for just above 16% of each win ultimately
Maybe a bit more given other factors, but 83% of each win is determined by a group of 18 players, to varying degrees
Might as well credit each position for a win like LW wins or RD wins or just, yanno, moving beyond the entire concept
Player =/= team

Why is he wearing Red and not Blue?

With the league moving more and more to a tandem in net, this record is guaranteed unbeatable

Hot take, Brodeur had no problem playing 70+ games a gear in the trap era behind a stacked devils defence, definitely give props for his accolades but definitely had an easier ride to do so than others.

Grant Fuhr won all those games 7-5 but hey a wins a win.

Weird that the guy at number seven on the list, he was four when he retired, is someone that lots of people don’t think should be in the HoF. The fact that CuJo isn’t in is a tragedy. Every other goalie on that list had WAY better team in front of them. CuJo carried basically every team he was ever on until he was in Detroit.

Let’s not forget most goals by a goalie for Marty(maybe we didn’t I didn’t read through the whole thread)

Roy is the goat. Brodeur is amongst the greatest, but Roy was special. He also didn’t have the explosive defence in Montreal like Brodeur did in NJ. Not until Roy went to Colorado

Belfour in a Blackhawks jersey feels oddly cursed, as an Oilers fan from the 1990s

It’s like pitcher records in baseball, they’re all never being touched. Goalies and Pitchers just don’t play enough anymore to have a chance of getting anywhere near the top bunch, never mind the top guy. Goalie & pitcher wins and shutout & strikeout records are all untouchable.

Weird choice to not go with Martin Brodeur in the Blues uniform. That’s what he is most known for. /s

Wow the early 2000s were absolutely stacked with goalies.
And most of them good ol’ Canadian boys too.

Hasek got a later start in the west because of the difficulty of getting out of the Soviet Union.
