Hockey Randomness

[Ad@m]

No clue how many games played, just naming righty’s. I’m probably missing a HOF’er.

Binkley
Barrasso
Vokoun
Fuhr
DePietro???
Théodore???

[meow]

I don’t condone talking about full right goalies, but I’ll play your game, you rogue

Esposito
Barrasso
Fuhr
Turek
Vokoun
Millen
Puppa

[mikey]

1. Tony Esposito (886)
2. Grant Fuhr (868)
3. Tom Barrasso (777)
4. Tomas Vokoun (700)
5. Jose Theodore (648)
6. Greg Millen (604)
7. [not yet guessed...he's the oldest one, so that kind of makes sense]
...
also guessed...

11. Daren Puppa (429)
18. Roman Turek (328)
19. Rick DiPietro (318)
25. Les Binkley (196)

There is one active goalie who is awfully close, but ultimately, may not get there...

Hint on #7...

Five players have ever won the Conn Smythe in a losing effort. He was the first, in just the award's second playoffs - 1966.

[meow]

1966?? There was no hockey before 1980...

[mikey]

1966 = the best hockey

I cheated and looked up #8. He's 24 games away and is still relatively young. I think he'll get there. It may take at least two seasons, but he'll get there.

With that goalie being unsigned at the moment and the next closest "active" goalie being three years removed from an NHL team (Hiller), your current active leader for most games played and most games won by a right-handed goalie is...

Mike McKenna, who isn't even guaranteed to see the NHL this year since he's on a two-way contract.

McKenna is the only right handed goalie under contract at the moment with 24 games of NHL experience and a record of 6-12-2.

I said that about Mason because he's hurt, not likable (backup goalies need to be likable...that's why @meow is so personable) and on a hard decline...25 games might not quite happen...or he might play 700...but I know there isn't a good feeling on Mason out there around the league...

[MR25]

@iamjs that list is missing Louis Domingue, who is under contract with Tampa and had some time with the Coyotes.

For whatever reason, his profile doesn't list his catching hand.

I knew he had been injury prone the last few seasons, which is why I was thinking it might take him awhile to get there. Not likeable? Didn't know that, but I guess the way he was moved and later bought out makes sense.

@MR25, that list does seem a little light. Not saying that there should be another 100 goalies listed, but it does seem like there should be more than 77. I ran three different searches just to be sure, and it kept bringing up the same list. But if I run the same search at NHL.com, it shows 86 results with another three active goalies in front of McKenna.

Not NHL caliber, not worth writing down haha

All this full right talk is giving me the willies

[shafnutz05]

I know it's a joke, but I wanted to see if I could figure it out reasonably...and I believe I did...

Brodeur is 2-1 in the criteria you laid out. Moreover, 12-3-1 with 1 day rest.

But...when he had time to think about Morozov and Morozov was in his nightmares on 2+ days rest: Brodeur won just twice in nine tries...

Ziggy also had Brodeur's number IIRC.

I feel like he's played more games at the NHL level over the past two years than McKenna has in his career.

Not that that's saying much.

[mikey]

McKenna is also not NHL caliber...

Quote from Alex Kovalev. If you didn't want to already kick Bylsma in the head...

[mikey]

Yeah, this post is like five years too late...plus, the Rangers are not talented...the game is going that direction...he's not wrong, just late...


Develop some young Chinese talent in your image, Alex...

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

I'd just like to know what Alex said to Dan after he said he'd bench him for carrying the puck in.

[Silentom]

In Mother Russia, Kovalev bench YOU.

[mikey]

That's a little silly, because we were allergic to dumping the puck in for most of the Bylsma era...

[meow]

Dumping it? Yeah sure. But they tipped and chased that stretch pass ad naseum

[Dickie Dunn]

Kovalev should have made them compare highlight videos.

So are you going to tell us who this ancient dude is or not?

You can't just google it?
