I still don't think people appreciate how good he was last year. I think it was the single best year of goaltending by a single goaltender ever.
I don't know if it was the best ever, but it was certainly probably the best of the last 20 years. 14-15 Price is debatable. Even when goalies have had seasons close to that, they usually played on better teams than last year's Rangers, where they may not have been the biggest difference between playoff berth (and trip to the third round at that) and being one of the worst teams in the league.

Carey Price had a really good 14-15. Were the 14-15 Canadiens as bad as the 21-22 Rangers? It's certainly debatable. PK Subban was that team's Adam Fox to Price's Shesterkin.

Hasek was incredibly good, especially between 1993 and 1998.

Wait Wedgewood is in net for Dallas now? What happened to Oettinger?
He was still in like a few minutes ago.

I have it on in the background and am catching up on some youtube videos online. I never saw what happened, as I'm not quite paying attention anymore and the volume is being drowned out by the other stuff I'm watching online.

Hopefully he isn't as bad as he was in the last game he played, where literally every goal was bad. I think it was against Ottawa?

Also Tim Thomas in 2010-11.

I think Thomas was really good in 10-11, same with Quick in 11-12 and Miller in 09-10, but all of those teams were better than last year's Rangers. Maybe not the Sabres in 09-10 though. They weren't super strong.

As close as the Rangers came to the SCF last year, I don't think they would have won the cup like Thomas and Quick's teams did those years.

Wedgewood sucks.

Last year was a FLUKE.

And it’s not even like he played a whole lot of games anyway.

Even though I don’t like the player at all, Tim Thomas had one year that was considered one of the best ever by a goalie in the modern era?
I havnt looked into his stats or anything for that year , im just repeating what I’ve heard about epic seasons by goalies and he was said to have one of the best

Wedgewood has money on the Rags confirmed.
Wedgewood was never ever really good. He had a good stretch last season with the Stars and that’s about it . Other than that , he is too inconsistent and is nkt really a 1B goalie.
GMs place too much value in goalies that have a stretch of 10-20 good games or a decent 1/2 season and think they are the next Brodeur.
Only elite goalies in the league right now are the ones that have been very good for more than one season in a row. For me it’s guys like Vas , Saros , Hellebuyck with guys like Sorokin and Sheshterkin lookig like they are that as well. Guys on the bubble for me are Demko and Ottenger.

Thats why Brodeur is the best ( IMO) goalie of all time. He was elite year in and year out ,consistently for his career. (Minus his last year due to age etc.) Hate to say it but Lundqvist was like that too . Solid for years .

Nothing like both teams scoring on their 1st shot.

What really puts a cap on the season Thomas had in 2010-2011 was that not only was the regular season and Vezina win huge, but he also won the cup/Conn Smythe that year.

So while other goalies have had huge regular seasons like that, I don't think anyone has ever followed up that kind of a regular season with a playoffs like that. So I think it's safe to say that year was the best of the modern era and one of the best of all time for a goalie.

He was like a .940% or so over about 82 games that year, regular season and playoffs combined.

Tim Thomas had a weird career. Was literally a nobody goalie in North America until he was in his 30's. His peak is one of the best ever. That 7 year stretch between 2005-2012 and particularly the 5 years between 2007-2012. He won the Vezina twice. But because he was really a nobody in his 20's, he probably won't make the HOF.

It was weird because for a while there, any time a goalie didn't break through in their 20's, people would hold out hope that ''Maybe he'll be the next Tim Thomas''.
