HOH Top 60 Goaltenders of All Time (2024 Edition) - Round 2, Vote 3

[Dr John Carlson]

Procedure

• In this vote, you will be presented with 11 players based on their ranking in the Round 1 aggregate list
• Players will be listed in alphabetical order to avoid creating bias
• You will submit ten names in a ranked order, #1 through #10, without ties via PM to both @Dr John Carlson and @Professor What. That means one name out of these eleven will be left unranked on your ballot.
• Use the same private message thread every week rather than starting a new PM
• Results of this vote will be posted after each voting cycle, but the individual ballots themselves will remain secret until the completion of this project
• The top 5 players will be added to the final list (unless a very large break exists at the spot between 4&5 (or 3&4!), or the break between 5&6 is minimal)
• Lists of players eligible for voting will grow as the project continues
• Voting threads will continue until we have added 60 names to the list, for a total of 12 voting threads

Eligible Voters

• Ballots from voters who have submitted an approved Round 1 ranking of 80 goaltenders (which was used to shape the aggregate list) will have their votes tabulated in the final ranking
• These voters are: @nabby12, @overpass, @frisco, @Professor What, @DN28, @jigglysquishy, @tony d, @rmartin65, @Vilica, @bobholly39, @The Pale King, @blogofmike, @Dr John Carlson, @MXD, @Michael Farkas, @ContrarianGoaltender, @VanIslander, @seventieslord, @Weztex

Guidelines

• Respect each other. No horseplay or sophistry!
• Please refrain from excessive use of the 'laughing' reaction to indicate disagreement
• Stay on topic and don't get caught up in talking about non-eligible players
• Participate, but retain an open mind throughout the discussion
• Do not speculate who cast any particular ballot. Do not make judgments about the mindset of whoever cast that particular ballot. All individual ballots will be revealed at the end of the project
• Anybody may participate in the discussion, whether they submitted a list or not

House Rules

• Any attempts to derail a discussion thread with disrespect to old-time hockey will be met with frontier justice
• Take a drink when someone mentions the number of hockey registrations in a given era
• Finish your drink when someone mentions that wins are a team stat

The actual voting period will open up on Friday, October 25th at midnight and continue through Sunday, October 27th at 11:59 PM Eastern time. I will release the results of the vote the morning of Monday, October 28th, at which point the next voting thread will begin.

This round has almost every single year represented, between now and 1910. Very interested to see where it goes.

 

[Professor What]

We had some requests for another week of discussion last time, and in effect we're getting that. We can have more discussion and debate about the various eras of hockey, with only a very clear top three being taken off the list.

Meanwhile, we get Lundqvist and Vasilevskiy, so those are our first "modern" goalies to come up for discussion. I think it'll be interesting to see the comparisons between them and the older guys on the list.

This is a great week of names. Love the time spread.

I plan to dig into Durnan and Broda playoffs this week.

Holocek is a big name I want to look more into.

Lundqvist stands out to me for modern goalies. From rookie year to near retirement was always near top for goalies.

Happy to see Brimsek get his due at #9.

Shocked that Gardiner is still on the board, though I'm sure he'll go first or second in this round. Should be a great week of discussion upcoming.
