Best Rangers backup goalie

[SnowblindNYR]

This is as a Ranger, ignore their careers elsewhere.

Edit: Out of these 3 people, I'm not saying these were the best 3 backups ever. Just out of these 3.

So far it's been Cam Talbot. Guy was practically unbeatable while he was here.

Georgiev could always overtake him eventually though.

 

[McSauer]

Jussi Markkanen.

 

[Profet]

Cloutier

He gets extra points for killing Tommy Salo and challenging the entire Islanders bench.

These are the only choices??

D). Glen Healy.

Some of these teams were a lot better than others. Talbot and Raanta were great for us but they played for much stronger and veteran teams.

Georgiev is very good. Here he is the other night--hasn't played a game in about 10 months and pitches a shutout and he looked in control the entire time. Shesterkin is not going to be able to pull off this season by himself. It's too great an ask of pretty much every goalie in the league. Backups are going to be very important when it comes to making the playoffs and making a playoff run.

 

[Rempe73]

I’m very very confident with Georgiev as our backup right now, but the answer is Talbot.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

I voted Talbot but I think the results should be much closer than what they are with Georgiev.

 

[True Blue]

D). Glen Healy.

Am on board with Healey. Special shout out to Steve Weekes and Bob Froese

 

[Crease]

Talbot had some folks (rightfully or wrongfully) talking about trading 31 year old Lundqvist.

Dan Blackburn is 37. I always wonder how his career would have went if he did not get hurt. speaking of backups, remember he was during the dark era as an 18 year old. coached by the wonderful Ron Low

 

[Harbour Dog]

Easily Talbot. He may have been the best backup in the league for a calendar year.

 

[Inferno]

Henrik when he was weekes' backup

 

[TominNC]

Gilles Villemure

 

[NYSPORTS]

Where is Johnny Van?

He and Richter rotated. Has to be on the list

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Henrik when he was weekes' backup

Came to say this. Or Richter when he backed up VBK. How are we defining backup?

 

[MyLoveIsBlue]

Gilles Villemure

 

[will1066]

Where's my option for Glenn Healy?

I meant out of these 3, folks...

Villemure was an excellent goalie. More of an angles technician and not as spectacular as Giacomin.

 

[cwede]

Villemure. Shared the Vezina

Your memory remains solid.
Not as spectacular but way more than merely solid.
