Worst NHL Debuts for a goalie?

[ottawa]

Carey Price was solid I find...2 goals against and .929 save% against Crosby and the penguins

Paul Pageau: Paul made his only National Hockey League appearance on February 3, 1981, against the defending Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders. Pageau and the Los Angeles Kings were overwhelmed on this night by an 8-1 margin, with Pageau stopping 26 shots. Eight different Islanders tallied in the victory.

 

[Remington 700]

Ddn't Martin Biron make his debut when he was 18 against the Penguins and get lit up?

Gave up 4 goals in the first. In his defense he was facing Lemieux, Jagr, Francis, Nedved, Sandstrom, Glenn Murray, Naslund, Smolinski and Zubov.

Ron Loustel gave up 10 goals. He very well could be the worst goaltender to EVER be drafted, EVER play in the NHL, and one of the worst goaltenders to EVER play hockey in a junior league equivalent or higher.

5.60 GAA on the Saskatoon Blades
10 GAA with the Winnipeg Jets
10.34 GAA with the Tulsa Oilers in the CHL

As a 20 year old in the WHL had a 7.08 GAA with the Brandon Wheat Kings.

His 10 GA is the NHL record for most GA in an NHL debut.

Guy he shared the net with in that 5.60 season had a 6.01GAA. In the 7.08 season, the other goalie was some guy named Ron Hextall who had a 5.77GAA. As for save percentage, 859 hextall, 833 loustel.

His only nhl game is atrocious but his junior stats look pretty average for the era.


Also looks like Winnipeg had a shitty game, Loustel saved 41 of 51 shots.

Was Husso's NHL debut worst ever? GAA 12.15 and SV% .714

Michael DiPietro’s was pretty bad

 

[Mattavarner]

I think Kuemper had a rough one early on against the leafs, not sure if it was his very first game though

 

[Kahvi]

Timo Pielmeier for Anaheim. 1 career game, 5 goals allowed, .583 save percentage.

Old thread but its kinda funny to see that this was also his only NHL game

Former #6 Overall draft pick played 2 games for Nashville:

[Tom Polakis]

I think Kuemper had a rough one early on against the leafs, not sure if it was his very first game though

He allowed 3 goals on 7 shots against the Leafs in the 2013-14 opener, but his debut was late in the 2012-13 season.

Why post this in a thread about worst nhl debuts?

Brian Finley.

Constantly tearing his groin in half ruined him.

Far from the worst, but had to bring up Glenn Healy, lol.

1985-86 (GA: 6 - SA: 35 - GAA: 7.06 - SV%: .829)

Far from the worst, but had to bring up Glenn Healy, lol.

1985-86 (GA: 6 - SA: 35 - GAA: 7.06 - SV%: .829)

And let me guess. With the way scoring was his team won 9 -6.

That was an emergency call up, wasn't it? He's no David Ayres but he shouldn't have even been in the NHL that night. Was it vs STL? I almost managed to suppress that memory lol.

Pretty sure it indeed WAS Brian Finley

Why post this in a thread about worst nhl debuts?

You're quoting someone from like 4-5 years ago... but you're right. Weird comment.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Michael Dipietro's was pretty horrible. He let in 2 goals on the first 2 shots, ended up allowing 7 goals on 24 shots.
