So did I, but I made this same statement verbatim tonight.I want to avoid hyperbole, but Igor is the best goalie I have ever seen. Plenty of goalies have of course had hot seasons so I'm not electing him to the HOF yet, but his total control of the game from the crease is unlike anything I've seen.

Don’t forget that he nearly scored a f***ing goal too.
Yep. Or facing the top 90 players instead of the top 620.What if he was allowed to use the gigantic pads and blockers current goalies wear.
how would current goalies do playing with no friggin’ mask?
There are some canucks fans who think Demko deserves Hart votes for his sub .920 seasonIgor is on a planet so far away from earth that I can’t even remember which goalie duds were supposed to be better than him.

Give Ovi and Matthews the no-flex old time wood sticks and see how they do. Or give Plante the equipment and training from today’s goalies…it really does both ways and isn’t so clear cutIf Ovi and Matthews were out there ripping shots on Plante the dude would let up so many goals, come on. How dynamic these shooters are today is not getting enough cred.
Shest is positively f*cking incredible.
Come on.... Ovi in the 60's or would be obliterating the competition.Give Ovi and Matthews the no-flex old time wood sticks and see how they do. Or give Plante the equipment and training from today’s goalies…it really does both ways and isn’t so clear cut
Demko thread on their board. They’re also pissy in the Igor vs Demko poll if you aren’t impressed with Demko’s .917Any links to those posts?
tbf .917 is a good to very good save% . Anything above .920 is great.Demko thread on their board. They’re also pissy in the Igor vs Demko poll if you aren’t impressed with Demko’s .917

The players back then stumbled in drunk and smoked in between periods. Most "stars" of those eras wouldn't even crack the 4th line of an NHL team today. They are just far superior athletes today.Give Ovi and Matthews the no-flex old time wood sticks and see how they do.

I wanted 8x8Last offseason I suggested giving Shesty a one year bridge to prove himself before committing to a long term extension.
I have to say- I shudder at the thought of what the AAV would look like had we gone that direction.
One of my biggest “well that would have been dumb if I was the GM” moments. Probably up there with wanting to trade for Julius Honka
