We're going to put through the top 6 to start.

Also, it turned out that the extra week of discussion proved neither redundant nor unnecessary, as quite a few people changed their votes.

I had Roy #1 and Hasek #2 - but overall have no issues with this ranking.

To me at his best Hasek is #1 - but I think Roy's career, especially playoffs, makes him "greater" - but it's so close.

It's interresting that in both the 2012 goalie project and 2018 top 100 list we had Roy above Hasek as the #1 goalie - so this will be the first time since the 2008 top 100 list that this forum ranks Hasek above.

I'd love to hear the rationale for the voter who had Roy #6, and Plante #7. Those seem surprising to me.

I don't like Roy 6th at all and I don't like Hasek 5th that much either.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Sawchuk the only one to run the gamut of rankings.

 

[Michael Farkas]

I ended up with Plante at 1...surprised I was alone there. I thought there'd be a couple of those.

I'm also the Hasek 5th place vote. He got to the 3 or 4 area at a point, but ultimately, I put Sawchuk over him at the end.

Nice to see Brodeur overtake Hall.

Roy at 6, Hall at 3, and Dryden at 3 all interest me. In any case, the result matched my ballot so I guess I'm mr. Boring.

I figured you were the Hasek at 5. Plante at 1 makes sense and is something I almost did.

I get where you're coming from even if that's not how I voted.

I like when people vote against the grain as long as it's defended.

I remember the chaos of the Gretzky at 7 vote. Weird, but was defended logically.

Fair enough -- it's not like you weren't vocal, I just didn't expect it would result in 5th.

For the record, my own controversial contribution was Sawchuk 8th. Lots of contemporary appreciation, but A LOT of it reads like whoever calling Carey Price the best goaltender in the world in 2019.

If it makes you feel any better, you're not the only one.

 

[rmartin65]

Birth years went 1965, 1965, 1929, 1929, 1972, 1931. Feels.... lazy? convenient?

I'm convinced that #1 probably changed in the second week. I honestly thought Roy had it, but as the votes started coming in, it became obvious that something had changed.

 

[Sentinel]

I did not vote but, other than Tretiak being too low, I am generally OK with these results.

 

[blogofmike]

I voted at midnight because I too was wrestling with Hasek vs Sawchuk.

My lone wolf 8th place vote was for Glenn Hall. As a regular season goalie he was good, but he doesn't create a lot of separation from Sawchuk and Plante with his margins of 1st AS wins, or from Denis DeJordy behind the same solid defensive team.

I had him behind Tretiak and Dryden because Playoff Hall is the one in the group who seems most unlikely to steal you a tough playoff game on the road.

We'd have liked to put 4 through this round to get us back to an even 10 in total. But the breaks are at 3/4 and 5/6, the former leaving us at 9 total inductees and the latter leaving us at 11, neither one being ideal.

We decided to go with the top 3 for now. Since there was interest in extending the discussion for another week after votes had already started coming in, we think this is a good compromise where we can inject some new names into the equation while still working to hammer out as much consensus on the early guys as possible.

 

[jigglysquishy]

I thought I would have Vezina higher than anyone and I did not.

Overall, voting followed discussion so no surprises.

Good call


Benedict got a 2nd place vote? I assume that came paired with a Vezina or Gardiner 1st place vote...? Interesting.
