Celebrate 68
Colored text in the quote...for fun!Just to get help "proofreading" my list further, and if it serves Mr. FarKarakas, so be it.
The "Contemporary with Jose Theodore but retired since a while" group. That feels really random, but it fits the period of netminders that I have more than a passing memory of watching.
IN :
Tim Thomas - no
Patrick Roy - oh yes
Nikolai Khabibulin - yes, with Nabokov
Ed Belfour - yes, with Brimsek types
Miikka Kiprusoff - yes, with Gardiner types
John Vanbiesbrouck - yes, near Ryan Miller
Curtis Joseph - yes, with Bobrovsky
Dominik Hasek - yes, with Sawchuk
Evgeni Nabokov - yes, with Khabibulin
Grant Fuhr - yes, with Vernon
Tom Barrasso - yes, with Fuhr
Martin Brodeur- yes, with Plante
Olaf Kolzig - yes, with Schneider
Mike Richter - ugh...yes. With the other positionally or otherwise challenged bubble guys like Liut
Arturs Irbe - yes, with the fun athletes like Rinne and Turco
NOT RANKED, as of now - no to all, except where noted
Guy Hebert - hmm, worth a look
Jose Theodore
Jon Casey
Felix Potvin
Marty Turco - yes, bubble add, with the fun athletes like Irbe and Rinne
JS Giguère
Ilya Bryzgalov
Tomas Vokoun - yes, bubble add, with the adaptable, but flawed types like Sean Burke
Sean Burke - uhh, that's convenient.
Tommy Salo
Ron Tugnutt
Roman Turek
Chris Osgood
Jeff Hackett
Darren Puppa
Bill Ranford
Mike Vernon - yes, with Fuhr
Kelly Hrudey
Ron Hextall
Kirk McLean
Tim Chevaldae
Chris Terrerri
Andy Moog
Dwayne Roloson
Nicklas Backstrom
On surface level, of that group : Vokoun feels like the closest to the list, while Potvin, Hebert and (of all people) Hrudey made it to second thoughts and look, superficially, like decent candidates.
ARE YOU SERIOUS
Jim Carey
Byron Dafoe
I've succumbed to putting Gump Worsley on my list...which isn't the best precedent to set. Six spots left...
