Also, ever heard of Ken Dryden and Terry Sawchuk? Morons in goal! Yes, 10 cups between them, but they rank among the 20 worst to ever play the game...

WORST.png

I am, of course, using a bit of tongue and cheek because a lot of things can contribute to a bad save percentage in the playoffs outside of the goalie's control (namely, playing for the Vancouver Canucks... if you're lucky enough to make it into the post season).

Save percentage was really low in the 80s (especially early 80s), the lowest in NHL history, so Richard Brodeur's numbers reflect that. Even Patrick Roy's save percentage from the late 80s was below .900. Brodeur had some amazing seasons in the early 80s, taking the Canucks to the Stanley Cup finals in 1982. The team had no business making it that far, and only did so because of some stellar goal tending.
:lol: That's insane 😳 Glace at least their in the record books for something other than cup wins. :wtf: agree about king Richard he was a mini monster in goal.
Ken Dryden though :shock: won many games for the Habs most likely high scoring games perhaps.
Where's Dunc the (skunk) Wilson l remember he was horrible for the Kannots.
Join us next season for the 8th annual that's not accurate snowfall contest.

Those graphs were just the difference between the regular season and the playoffs. It could be that Montreal in the 1970s opened it up a bit more in the playoffs so Dryden's save percentage would go down. Also, for some for some goalies, they didn't play a lot in the playoffs so a bad series and it brings their stats down or a really good series brings them up.

I played goal last night. The best I've ever played in my life. I'm not sure why the Canucks haven't called me up yet. LOL


P.S. More Canucks stats: Brad Lukowich was the greatest shooter in Canucks history. He scored 100% of the shots he ever took! Take that Bure! Bure doesn't even make the top 100 with just 13.2% of his shots going in! Still, 100th spot isn't bad considering close 600 players have played for the Canucks.

Unfortunately Glace the Krapnots are going with a cardboard cut out of Luongo as back up so too bad so sad. :D
You'd have to do some deep diving to see what lead to some good goaltenders to have a terrible save percentage, your probably correct high scoring games.
I remember the Oil rags having some ridiculous high scoring winning games in the 80's with the scoring machine they had.
Remember with Bure he had many missed breakaways he was a monster at those.
Brad Lukowich wasn't his shootout percentage like 100% almost :?

Canucks are averaging 8 goals per game, which makes them the best team in NHL history. :D

I'm going to guess 1983, but I don't see Garth Butcher.

Interesting Canuck facts:

I'm actually quite surprised that Jim Sandlak played more games than Greg Adams.
