KELLY HRUDEY Unbelievable-Saves

Long before Jonathan Quick, we Kings fans had Kelly Hrudey. Tough goalie and was always fun to watch. I remember my first LA Kings game, whenever he made a save, there was a fan somewhere behind me going "HRUDEEEEEEEY!!!" and rightfully so. And to this day, I personally believe his Hollywood goalie helmet is the greatest design ever.

I lived in LA during the Hrudey years. His secret was not doing any fancy crap. Just solid textbook goaltending. I dont think he ever went more than 6 feet out of the crease. Unlike Rob Stauber who's nickname was Mr Blueline.

I can tell you're a true Kings Fan, I totally forgot about Rob Stauber. I only remember Daniel Berthiume and Glenn Healy during those years.

I imagine he would have performed better if he had the pads we do now, where proper butterfly saves are much easier. You can see he does kind of make butterfly saves, but lots of the time he commits to stacking the pads right after as the old style pads he has don't hug the ice like they do now.
