Andrew Hammond. A career minor league goaltender who one season put up a 20-1 record dragging the Senators into the playoffs. Then kinda disappeared into obscurity.

[@TheMemeBorrower.]

He actually played playoff games for the avalanche a few years later and did pretty well lol. He then bounced around the league, playing games for Minnesota’s affiliate in Iowa, he played a couple games for the habs last season (those ones were my favourite), and he finished his career with New Jersey this past season after announcing his retirement. His career stats: 67 GP 31-20-7 .917 SV% Playoffs 5 GP 1-4-0

[@politicalbandwagon4989]

He was pretty good for my habs last year considering the awful defence in front of him. I remember seeing him take on the flames and winning in overtime as the first and only nhl game I’ve ever been too. I have a lot of respect for him.

Pierre Turgeon right up there with Alexander Mogilny when it comes to glaring H.O.F omissions.. It makes zero sense aside from personal pettiness from members of the voting committee. I was done with the H.O.F after they callously waited until Pat Burns passed away before inducting him. They had several opportunities to do so while he was still alive. Hopefully Pierre & Alex get their moment some day soon.

[@joeyhoser]

I grew up on hockey, but have recently come to realize what utter dogshit the culture of the sport is. "Oh you didn't participate in a brawl as a teenager? BANNED FORVER YOU FUCKING COWARD!" The game is run by a bunch of knuckle-dragging dumbfucks who think wearing a suit is what makes you professional and covers all the terrible things you do and think.

[@SaintPatrick33]

Agree. When Turgeon played for the avs, I was at the game against the sharks when he scored his 500th goal. Cool moment. He should definitely be in the HOF. Rocket Richard only has 29 more goals.

[@jetsilveravenger]

Turgeon certainly should've been on Canada's 96 World Cup Team and probably the 98 Olympic team but around that time the architects of Team Canada were obsessed with gritty players and left off quite a few highly skilled guys, Turgeon being one.

Dude, Theoren Fleury got arteries in his left arm severed and missed a year when he was like nine or ten. His parents were alcoholics/addicted to prescription drugs. He was sexually abused when he was a teenager. He was never supposed to make it besides all of that heaped on him and was "too small" for the NHL to begin with. Yet, he's in the top seventy all-time in points and may be pound for pound and inch for inch one of the best players all-time. His NHL record of three short handed goals and his plus nine game never get talked about either. The last four years of his career or so were about as bizarre as it gets too.

Turgeon never played for tem Canada again because it was so stacked at the center position. Gretzky, Lemeiux, Sakic, Neiwendyke, Lindros, Messier, Francis, Linden, and Hawerchuck were the choices for team Canada at center. Who do you bump to put Turgeon in? He also had a reputation of being frail. He didn't get to play for them because of all the Hall of Famers who were available and much better. It wasn't because team Canada hated him. Turgeon was good but not great.

The opposite of Dan Blackburn was Hall-of-Fame goalie Bill Durnan, who played with two gloves, no blocker. Go look at some old pictures. I understand he was ambidextrous and could catch with either hand and shoot both right & left. It must have helped, because he won six Vezina Trophies in a seven year career. Similar to Pat Verbeek, but in baseball, Carlos May had part of a thumb blown off by a mortar in an off-season accident while training in the National Guard, but was able to continue his career. I remember this being a big story because May was coming off a great rookie season, and played for the White Sox and I was a White Sox fan.
