RichieNextel305 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Good for him. Like Tom Brady and Chipper Jones, two other legendary figures in other sports who have tormented my teams, I have grown to appreciate Fleury over the years with his quirkiness and his love of the game. While Fleury didn’t “torment” the Rangers the way Brady did the Jets or Chipper the Mets, his most wins against any NHL team is against us with 34.

Sharpshooter Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Yeah, as a division rival, he just plays us a lot and there were a lot of battles over the years. Those don't even include all of the postseason meetings either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasek also reinvented the position with his athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. To be perfectly honest, and this isn’t biased at all, but I definitely think Henrik was better than Fleury. Henrik also didn’t play with 2 generational superstars for the duration of his career the way Fleury did outside of 2004. So obviously, Fleury is going to trump Hank in wins due to playing longer and playing on better teams. But I still think Hank was the better goalie of the 2. Thats an easy one to debate, just because they played in the same era. I hate when debates are from 2 different players from 2 different generations.

SaveByRichter35 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Brodeur also played the majority of his career behind that stupid NZ trap. I am not saying he wasn't a good goalie but its much easier to win games when you're only facing 10-15 shots a game vs 25-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 In Brodeur's defense, almost every team was trapping and clutching and grabbing. The game was becoming a slog. Yet, despite that, he was still much better than everyone else, save for guys like Hasek and Roy who were right there. As far as wins and shutouts go, Brodeur is basically the Wayne Gretzky of goaltenders. I don't see anyone touching those numbers for quite some time, if ever, and he played a lot of those years without the shootout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's going to be awfully hard to surpass IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All extremely difficult. Growing up seeing Brodeur, Hasek and Roy in their primes was something else. What a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It’s Brodeurs longevity that will make that one hard to top. I remember watching him play at the Stadium Series game in the Bronx and thinking to myself how insane it was that I’m sitting here watching Rick Nash and that edition of the Rangers fire away on him when he also dealt with the 1994 Rangers. I mean, shit. What a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
