HOH Top 60 Goaltenders of All Time (2024 Edition) - Round 2, Vote 6

[Dr John Carlson]

Procedure

• In this vote, you will be presented with 14 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 four names out of these fourteen 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, November 22nd at midnight and continue through Sunday, November 24th at 11:59 PM Eastern time. I will release the results of the vote the morning of Monday, November 25th, at which point the next voting thread will begin.

I'm in an unfortunate position this round (and likely several future rounds) because, while I think that LeSueur deserves a real shot to go in this round, I think that he is less great (or at least no greater than) than his contemporary Paddy Moran. If we put LeSueur in now (which, like I said, I think he deserves real consideration for), we will miss out on the opportunity to compare the two to one another, kind of like how I think this board would have benefited from a Benedict/Lehman discussion.

I know someone whose going to be happy to see Tom Barrasso.

On my end - I'm happy to see Quick. I feel sometimes he gets under appreciated vs some of his peers in the ~2010s.

Hope we get better discussion this round. 50% of voters have abandoned the discussions in general. Last week had like 30 posts in total, 50% of which were unrelated to the project.

Couple of things.

1. I really think for future projects, we should come up with a way to "wildcard-nominate" names to add earlier to the discussion, outside of the aggregate list rankings. It shouldn't be easy to do so, and there should definitely be a cap, but we could come up with some sort of system. I have a few ideas, but this probably isn't the place to get into it.

2. You still have to vote for the player based on who else is in this round, as opposed to who isn't. That's happened a few times for me in this project so far.

Initial thoughts...

On the plus side...

Kip-Kip Hooray! Miikka Kiprusoff is available. Had him back to back with Hellebuyck on my initial list. Big fan of his. He's one of the very few that really survived and thrived from DPE to the open era. I had him around my other "short career, but big impact" guys like Hellebuyck, Gardiner, Durnan, [yet to be named, but backed up Quick last night]...

Jonathan Quick is available in a timely manner in my opinion, same with John Vanbiesbrouck - at least relative to a pretty herky jerky field. Quick had the best playoff run since the lockout (2012) and maybe the best for an even longer period, depending on how much you dock Giguere for his performance in the '03 Final.

People know that I love Harry Lumley...I just don't have anything more to say about him. Can I re-post my post and hope it generates some interest this time? haha

Ok, that's all the positivity I think I have...

- I don't find too much of a difference between Fuhr and Barrasso...and I don't find too much of a difference between them and Mike Vernon either. They went back to back to back on my initial list actually.

- Curtis Joseph is a weird one. He's worth digging in on, from my perspective, more in this round. He had a lot of tough competition, but I wonder a little bit about how he handled better competition. I had him right in the group with Fuhr/Barrasso/Vernon on my initial because I also found him to be a bit of a guesser and erratic...I could be talked out of that.

- Who the **** is Chuck Rayner? I don't mean that literally, of course...but what is he doing here now? First thing's first...how much better than Sugar Jim Henry was he really...? I'm excited to hear his case - if this is the appropriate round for that...

- Another appropriate coagulation appears with Vachon being up here with Esposito. A couple of sloppy 70's guys. I actually think Vachon is a step better than Espo. Neither belong this round though, for me.

- Then we have a player who turned pro as a winger, but wasn't good enough and someone else on the team had typhoid fever or whatever, so he hopped in net and, uhhh, here we are...somehow...haha

I feel like I'm part of the problem there, but I'm just not sure what I can offer a lot of times other than a voice in the voting after consuming what others have to offer.
