who is your teams worst goalie in the last decades

[Elvs]

One thing Ducks fans can't complain about in the history of this franchise is goaltending. The club have always made the position a high priority, both with starters and backups.

I guess the answer would have to be Curtis McElhinney in 2010/2011 when he was supposed to backup Jonas Hiller. The same year Hiller went down with vertigo which made things even worse.

But as McElhinney was traded and Ray Emery and Dan Ellis came in, both whom played surprisingly well, the season was saved and the team made the playoffs.

i'd go with bernier just for completely shitting the bed in the nashville series in 2017

 

[TheBeerNerd]

Gillies. You have to be a special kind of terrible to stick out as the worst goaltender on a team with no shortage of them since Brodeur retired and Schneider got cut down by injuries, but he does.

 

[McShogun99]

Whatever goalie that played in the teams last loss.

 

[BrockLobster]

By the Numbers: Eddie Lack was diabolically bad for the Flames in the four games he played.

By the Vibes: Mike Smith absolutely stank, what a colossal tool.

I had to look it up. 5.29 and an .813. Oooof.

Oh and hes a college asst coach now and a real estate agent

 

[Stive Morgan]

Easily Primeau or Kinkaid but if single game wonders count, I still remember poor Michael McNiven allowing 3 goals on 7 shots in that 8-2 shellacking we got from Minnesota a few seasons ago.

 

[shenmue16]

For the Wings I would likely go with Tom McCollum, Jared Coreau, or Kaden Fulcher. The Wing have had some really horrible goalkeeping in the last decade. I still remember when Mrazek was considered the future of the team and Howard was reliable enough to play 60 games in a season. All three of those guys had to fill in but none of them had a SV% over .880.

 

[BobbyShehan]

Obviously, everybody here is too young to remember Andre Red Light Racicot... Worst I've ever seen.

 

[Maitz]

Would like to say Primeau but Kimcaid was by far the worst goaltender I have ever seen

 

[Puckstop40]

I would take Phillipe Sauve over Georgiev right now.

 

[Avs2022]

The worst statistical starting goalie we've had in the last decade (most starts, worst s%) was Freddie Andersen in 2020-2021 with a .895

The worst goalie (10+ games, s%) since 2014 is Michael Hutchinson in 2019-2020 with a .886

Wait until the end of the season for the Avs goalie stats. Might make the above look decent.

I would take Phillipe Sauve over Georgiev right now.

Fourgiev makes me miss Abeisher. Or however you spelt his name.

 

[izzy]

since probably every goalie the blues have had the last 15 years has over performed (even Hutton managed a .930).. probably Chad Johnson.

Ryan Miller was also a disappointment since it seemed that traded almost guaranteed a cup run that year but instead he had his worst run with a team outside of when he was in his actual 40s

 

[Blitzkrug]

The Bruins have been weirdly blessed with elite goaltending for the last like, 15 years. Between having legit studs like Thomas and then Rask, and then Bob Essensa seemingly being able to turn anybody into a solid contributor as a backup from Anton Khudobin, Jonas Gustavsson to the like 4 games Nik Svedberg started before never being heard from again. I had to actually go digging. There was one name that stood out, mostly because Bruins fans were weirdly high on him.

That name of course, is the legend that is the Zane Train in Zane McIntyre.

Appeared in 8 games in 2016-2017, behind what was a legit top 10 defense (8th in GA) and finished with a statline of;

8 GP, 0-4-1, 3.97, .858 sv%

Suffice to say this would be the only games he ever started in the NHL and the Zane Train's dreams of being a starter in the league were firmly parked in the station after this

 

[GreatSaveLuongo]

finally a win for the devils!

jon gillies

ainec

Gotta be last season where they were going musical chairs with Daws or Schmid right? They were both terrible

 

[BHD]

Niemi for the Pens. Only three(!) games, but a 7.50 GAA and a .797 Sv%.

 

[Jay26]

Silovs for the Canucks. Small sample, but most of it was during the playoffs last year.
Otherwise we went from Miller to Markstrom to Demko.

Not a big enough sample size. Spencer Martin was worse. This all seems like recency bias but it's just that the team has had decent to great goaltending for a long time now. It's hard to remember the last time we got goaltending as bad as we've seen from both Martin and Silovs.

 

[Ceremony]

Watch tonight's Avalanche game to see him in action!

Thank you.

21-22 season

as a team the devils got 0.886 from their goalies. he blended right in with 0.885. but he more than any goalie excelled in losing games. he finished the year with a 3-10-1 record and saw action in 19 games. in the 3 wins the devils scored 7 goals each:
22/01/23 - 7-4 vs CAR
22/02/09 - 1-7 @ MTL
22/02/11 - 4-7 @ STL

any shot from the red line and in had a good chance to score.

 

[Whaddagoal]

Weekes is definitely a good answer.....but I'm thinking the NYR honor goes to Marty Biron.....and Herlt would definitely agree.

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

 

[JianYang]

Cayden Primeau

He's never played a full season unless you include last year where they Habs kept a 3 goalie program.

I'd have to go way back, and say andre "red light" racicot.

 

[mobilus]

For the Leafs, minus goalies this year, just throw a dart at the names.

 

[hangman005]

Samsonov making a strong push for worst Vegas goalie.

I'm trying to think who else there is, Subban... Patera... Lagace

 

[VivaLasVegas]

I'm trying to think who else there is, Subban... Patera... Lagace

There was that one game with the beer guy.

 

[hangman005]

There was that one game with the beer guy.

That beer guy was awesome. But man did the team hate having him occupied.

 

[qc14]

For Washington, I'd like to go with Samsonov, but man... don't sleep on Justin Peters. Pete-dawg!

Exactly what I would say too. In terms of actual worst it's probably Peters. I mean just look at these splits between him and Holtby!

In terms of "costing the team" though it's definitely Samsonov. He and Vanacek just completely sunk a team that was still much better than they get credit for and basically singlehandedly cost us two very winnable series against Boston and Florida.
