Glenn Hall could conceivably be ranked as high as 1 or as low as 7, and much of this will depend on how his playoff record is evaluated. I think it's important that his record is examined thoroughly.
I'm starting a boxscore based analysis of his playoff performance. Here's what I have for 1956, when Hall played 10 games - 5 against Toronto and 5 against Detroit.
First periods - 88 shots against, 8 goals against. GAA of 2.40, SV% of 0.909. While his average numbers were solid he allowed the first goal of the game 6 times in the first period and 2 times in the second period for a total of 8/10 games where he allowed the first goal.
Second periods - 105 shots against, 10 goals against. GAA of 3.00, SV% of 0.905.
When Detroit was leading after 1 - 2 games, 25 shots, 2 goals.
When Detroit was tied after 1 - 3 games, 29 shots, 3 goals.
When Detroit was trailing after 1 - 5 games, 51 shots, 5 goals.
Average performance across the board in second periods.
Third periods - 105 shots, 10 goals, GAA of 3.00, SV% of 0.909. (Same as 2nd)
When Detroit was leading after 2 - 3 GP, 35 shots, 4 GA (all in one game.) 4.00 GAA, 0.886 SV%
When Detroit was tied after 2 - 1 GP, 7 shots, 0 GA.
When Detroit trailed after 2 - 6 GP, 63 shots, 6 GA. GAA of 3.00, SV% of 0.905%.
Overtime - one game, 5 shots, no goals, one win.
Generally speaking Hall tended to allow the first goal as Detroit fell behind early. But Detroit came back to win several of these games in the third period, and Hall performed well in close games in the third. His low point was game 1 of the finals, when the Wings went into the third with a two goal lead but Montreal outshot them 18-5 and scored four goals in the first 11 minutes of the period to win the game.
I'll work on aggregating numbers like these for Hall's career. Any interest in seeing that or any comments on the methodology?
