    Truly gives meaning to “stand up goalie generation”

  2. Hextall throwing a punch because he’s pissed someone scored on a net he left wide open is hilarious

    early 90s was a literal revolution in goaltending. not just equipment, but strategically. they learned how to play the position properly, angles, making sure high percentage areas are covered just by form and movement, etc.

    You guys acting like this doesnt happen in todays games lol cmon

    I don’t think Gretzky would have the goals he would have if he was playing against goalies of today.

  6. Now make a compilation of the worst goals of the last decade and it’ll still look stupid. How about some of the best saves? The style wasn’t great but it wasn’t this bad overall.

    Back when goalies didn’t know their knees could bend. Seriously were they not allowed to squat or what?

  8. This sure gives credence to ovechkin being the best goalscorer of all time.

    How does this affect ~~Lebron~~Gretzky’s legacy?

    The reason the 80’s were so high scoring

    well, aakshually guyz, if goaltending was so bad, then why wasn’t everyone putting in 200 points a season?! Check. Mate!

    It gives you an appreciation at how revolutionary Roy was

    It’s not fair the puck was only 1 pixel in size back then. Way harder to stop

  16. TheChigger_Bug

    They didn’t even use pads to block 😂

    Lmao, all they seemed to do was stand in place or have a seizure
