Roy and hasek are the 2 greatest goalies ever. Hasek during the regular season, Roy during playoffs. Depends on your preference whose number 1

Couldn’t agree more!

I love the vid. as much as i'd have loved for him to be the fellow who introduced butterfly IN GENERAL, there were those that came before, Hall, Esposito comes to mind. But he DID elevate the style, which in some circles is called 'profly', or for guys like me 'quebec-style' butterfly. Tony Esposito had a beautiful stance... he projected his stick far out in front of him with a wide stance. if the puck skipped over his stick, he was ready with the pads. he did not show a lot of the net. Patrick was compact with knees touching but his feet spaced a good distance apart, he was expert at cutting the angles and super fast reactions. you thought you had a hole... and then you didn't.

Glenn Hall, Tony Esposito introduced the butterfly way before Roy. Do your history if you’re going to make a video.
