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
always liked him pre injury
Okay, that's fair now that you've specified you want it to be limited...
Of only those 3 it is hard to say.
Case can be made for any of them if one really wants to push it.

I'll put my 2 cents on worst. Both named Steve. Steve Weeks and Steve Baker.
For reference Steve Weeks from 1980-1993 only had a save percentage above 900 once.
And you could drive a bus through Bakers 5-hole.

Common Snow....shame on you bro, how could you forget to not include Gilles Villemure the backup to Eddie Giacoman in your choices? lol

Not really, this was never supposed to mean that these were the best backups the Rangers ever had. It was supposed to be out of those 3. Jesus, I'll make the change.

yeah, if we really wanted to break chops we'd insist you edit the title by adding
" --- choose from these three "

I'm just giving you shit lol. I never implied you meant it to be an all time list, just noting that its only goalies that have been the backup in the past 6 years. No Weekes, Valliquette, Biron, Paveleic, Ocho Cinco etc to even go back as far as the lockout.

Talbot as a Ranger was pretty lights out.
Raanta was a solid replacement.
The Rangers seem to be the highest on Georgiev, but I guess I've never quite felt as strongly about him.

OMG...thx for the memories Bob or the nightmares....sheeshee...lol.
Wasn't that the night Tomas Hertl his rookie year morphed into Teemu Selane and scored 4 on us?
And if recollection stands correct, I believe Hertl's 4th goal was the coup de gras on what was one of the most embarrassing losses in the past 20 years, when he dangled the puck and than did one of those in between the legs shots over Biron and that was that!.
Anyways thx again for reminding me of that one...ugh!!
