We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

This one's a little tough for me. I voted "too close to call" even though upon thinking about it afterwards, I should have voted for Quick, but the poll doesn't allow for changing your vote. I'm also operating under the assumption that there's a nuanced difference between "peak" and "prime." By how I understand they're generally used, "peak" can be a single season, but "prime" by definition means something in the neighborhood of 5 years. Operating under those definitions, my opinion is that Quick had a better prime. Their peaks are comparable, though Quick's peak (2012) resulted in a cup win.
Same with Kiprusoff's peak (2004) though. :p
Bias-ly voting Kiprusoff, but probably too close to call would be fair vote.
It was probably in, but the on-ice ruling was no goal and the video evidence was not sufficient to call it a goal. Them's the breaks.
Was rooting for Calgary that year, but ended up missing games 6 and 7 because I went on a trip overseas. Now I'm married to a Bolts fan.

This is pretty close for me. Their peak playoff runs and seasons are similar and both had a few other high end years with some only ok seasons mixed in. I’d say Quick had the better career with a longer run of games outside of his prime, and more playoff runs beyond just his best, but in terms of just prime I’d say it’s basically a pick-em. I also think just from watching as a fan of an opposing team who played them both a lot, Quick felt more unbeatable when he was on. I’d give him the edge by a hair
