who is your teams worst goalie in the last decades

[The Panther]

Whatever goalie that played in the teams last loss.

This is true. Oilers' fans have become unbelievably harsh on their goaltenders in recent years (with the exception of Mike Smith, whom the fanbase had a bizarre love-affair with). Oilers' fans, in my opinion, have lost all perspective on what goalies typically do. It's like, they think if you don't get a shut-out, the goalie sucks.

 

[DapperCam]

Carter Hutton was so bad. And then our awful GM told us "don't worry, he was legally blind last year and had corrective eye surgery, so he should be good now". And then he was just as bad. Another season flushed down the toilet.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

All our goalies have been pretty good lately.
My answer would be Weekes. Hated when he would be playing whereas pretty much every other backup I can think of I was fine with having in net

Georgiev in 21-22 was horrible.

 

[Maplebeasts]

I don't think anything will ever touch Andrew Raycroft, but Toskala was pretty close.

 

[HabsQC]

Ben Scrivens
Antti Niemi
Peter Budaj
Alex Auld
Mike Condon

 

[llp]

For the Wild, Let's see... In Dubnyk's Last season he split time with Stalock and neither did horrible, but I think that's probably it.

what are you guys doin with bad goalies

 

[TBF1972]

Was just randomally watching this Marty Biron save attempt on Ilya Kovalchuk SO goal. Well I was at first thinking that was valiquette (from the recent drama I went to find highlights I could remember), but then I realized it was Biron.



Yeah that was bad. Didn't even attempt anything. 5 hole a mile wide.

I think Devils pick for worst goalie is probably Domingue or Gillies. But neither of them played a lot. Dell honorable mention. Wedgewood wasn't great either but hard to dunk on him.

For starters, I guess it would be one of blackwood or vanacek but we know they both had some mixed in great play in the years they were starting but they are some of the weakest NJD had starting I guess by overall outcome

Kinkaid had a great run to fill in for injured Schneider, but he wasn't technically a strong goalie I don't think. And he fell off quickly and was out quickly.

Vitek Vanacek and Blackwood may have been implicitly torpedoed by the system Ruff was deploying and when it failed it failed hard on the goalie.. they let their fair share of bad ones in, but they also got crushed when the system failed. I think they probably would have be better in less overloaded system

Paging @Bleedred he will have a good take on NJD goalies

jon gillies all the way

 

[GMR]

Jimmy Howard in 2020. He had 1980s Smythe Division type numbers that year.

 

[Miri]

Avs and Rags fans share this in common.

This would be true, if we did not have Jonas Johansson on our hands in the past.

Backups shouldn’t count

 

[Miri]

Backups shouldn’t count

In that case Avs and Rags still cant have 4giev in common, as he was a backup at Rangers, right?

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Malcolm Subban was shit.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I think that year we had Hank, Georgie, and Igor , Georgie actually had the most starts

 

[ncm7772]

Tristan Jarry

 

[Figgy44]

I swear there were articles written about Hiller's sv% in his last year as a Flame. IIRC, the sv% was the 3rd or 4th worst statistically with over X games played vs all goalies in the prior decade or two.

But IIRC, Hiller was suffering from severe vertigo. So vs those other names (I wanna say Raycroft was one of them?) I dunno if it should be held as severely against him.

That's funny you mentioned that because buddy I work with literally has that mindset with the Oilers but in fairness they usually have the second best goalie every night

 

[Billdo]

Somehow it's not Vanecek or Blackwood but Jon Gillies takes the cake.

 

[Joe Sakic]

My god Georgiev sure is making a case this year.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

Cayden Primeau

Nope, André "Red Light" Racicot...

 

[DFC]

Oh my God Anders Lindback

That was possibly the most exposed goalie stance I’ve ever seen on that Kovalchuk goal. Bizarre.

 

[koyvoo]

Leafs have sure had a number of them. Hard to pick a "winner". Last decade we had

Bernier
Sparks
Murray
Mrazek
Campbell
Samsonov

No wonder we haven't won shit eh lol

No matter the goalie they have, they won’t win unless their best players play their next hockey when it matters.

Sure, better goaltending would help. But there is no bigger factor in any possible future playoff success than for their star players to be the best players in games in the post season.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Probably a young Markstromm.

 

[ponder719]

Flyers fan here, so, what, 28-way tie for first?

 

[Whaddagoal]

Yeah really bizarre, legs wide open, didn't flinch, the slow-mo really showed it.

Biron was mesmerized by Kovy, only thing I can think of.
