15 Best NHL Goalies of All Time
Posted by Darin Hayes on October 30, 2023
Introduction
The NHL goaltender is the most unique position player on the ice. Their primary responsibility is to keep the puck out of the net; to do this, they wear some of the most extensive personal protection in all sports. You would, too, if you had a bunch of well-trained athletes launching hard rubber projectiles at you at high velocity. The goalie’s task is to stand on their heads if they have to to keep pucks from getting through the pipes. We want to salute these folks in the crease by remembering the best goalies in NHL history.
We will choose different metrics that measure a goaltender’s effectiveness to do this. Then, we will use the Stathead and Hockey-Reference database to give us the top tenders from the past 100-plus years in each statistical category.
