“You’ll never see a better save in your entire life” Immediately after : 3 even better saves

[@hockey_all_star5895]

Actually one was a goal

[@Logadeau]

@@hockey_all_star5895 I was referring to the trio of acrobatic saves right afterwords but yes, he did indeed score

[@jacobhallberg9206]

Martin Brodeur, Dominik Hasek, Patrick Roy. We're never gonna see goalies like them again

[@SvanMagic]

Andrei Vasilevskiy has a good chance to join them if he keeps it up. He's only 26 and already has an impressive resume.

[@oriamir8994]

@@SvanMagic You're kidding right? I like him but this is not the 90's any more. 26 is old for goalies too. when he gets his first cramp or agility injury it will only increase and never go away. We ain't seen in last years any goalie yet that just came like McDavid and Mathews and right away owned the entire league at 18-19 years old.

[@fr3nc]

@@SvanMagic just look how tiny and short goaltenders were. Nowadays they have much bigger vests and pads. It´s not so much about agility, but much more about size. But i don´t saying that Vasilevskiy is bad. Not at all he´s the best goalie in league, but no to compare with these guys.

[@shuozhang6947]

@@oriamir8994 Vasy is a great goalie, has been the one of the top in the league for the past two years, got a great future but I'm not sure if he will be better than Martin Brodeur, Dominik Hasek, or Patrick Roy. But 26 *is not* old for a goalie lmao. And i wouldnt say Mcdavid and matthews are owning the league, plus GAA are lower nowadays than before

[@mathieuroy1301]

@@SvanMagic Patrick Roy carried a weak habs team to 2 Stanley cups (and won 2 more with the avs) Marty Brodeur carried the devils on his back His entire career. Of course NJ had a great team but the last of his cups he won it almost alone. Dominik Hasek carried the sabres alone for a long long time, didnt win a cup with Buffalo (got robbed with that Garbage Hull goal). Came back late in His career to Win with detroit, was still elite. Vasilevsky is a 6'3 Guy with today's equipement. He's using the style Roy perfected and using His size the same way all goalies are doing today. He has 3 elite defenseman in front of him and a stacked offense. The real question is, if you sent him to Buffalo or detroit, would he Carry Them to a cup. The answer is easy : no.

[@BigCam.31]

The guy was my hero growing up. I wanted to be him so badly, I'd pretend to be him playing hockey as a kid lol. Special talent for sure

[@dylanv6123]

Best goalie of all time no question

[@Alexiscool12]

I dont care what anyone says, Martin Brodeur is the greatest of all time for goalies!

[@matts6551]

I mean he has the all-time most records to back it up so anyone who denies that is clearly just a hater and jealous

[@TheSnapback]

@@matts6551 The records were mostly from his longevity. He has the most wins but also the most losses. He never won a Conn Smythe or Hart out of his 22 seasons, so it definitely can be denied. When you have goalies like Patrick Roy, Dominik Hasek, and Jacque Plante in the equation, then Brodeur definitely can't be announced the greatest. If Lundqvist played the same amount of games as Brodeur, he would have a similar record. Brodeur's success mostly came from his team, you have to admit. By that I mean his cups, his Vezina trophies were deserved. No I am not jealous, I do think Brodeur was an incredible goalie. However, I am not blinded by deceiving records and know Brodeur is not the greatest of all time. Sorry, but it's the truth.

[@brendanwoerner3352]

@@TheSnapback lundquist didnt Stanley cups get outta here with that stat!!! Lundquist was good but he was younger than Brodeur and still lost in 2012! Btw he is no disrespect to Roy of Terry Sawchuk. But your insane if your trying to compare Lundquist of all people!

[@TheSnapback]

@@brendanwoerner3352 You ignored my point. Lundqvist didn't get any cups because of his team, not because he wasn't just as great of a goalie. Brodeur had the best defensive teams in the league during his cup wins, if he was mainly responsible he would have won a Conn Smythe or some kind of MVP award but he didn't. I'm not saying Lundqvist ranks higher than Brodeur overall, but they played in different eras. After the 2004-05 lockout, Lundqvist would be better, and that includes 2012. Brodeur's success is highly inflated because of his longevity in the league. If you want to say he has the most wins, he also has the most losses. Lundqvist ended his career with an average SV% of .918 while Brodeur ended with a SV% of .912. But in the end, I never said Lundqvist was better overall. I was merely saying Lundqvist would average nearly the same amount of wins if he played the same time. Don't know why you got so offended, these are literally stats.

[@Davidjon1946]

Hasek

[@Sinistersaves31]

Scorpion save against the rags needs to be on here

[@knives7876]

The year the devils won the stanley cup, I have never seen a more dominant player in a series, ever.

[@bigtimetimmyjim6486]

I saw all three of their cup series, he was outstanding in 2000 and 2003, but he was absolutely unbeatable in 1995. That 1995 performance completely changed how I look at the sport.

[@rtlthemusician5598]

The NHL has had many great goaltenders throughout its history, but only one can be the greatest, and he’s it

[@TaxmanTV]

#2 is insane. One of the best ever. I also would've added the scorpion tail save but that's in other top 10s I'm sure. Watching this is undeniable proof to the haters that Marty wasn't good just because of the 'trap'. He faced several quality shots and constantly showed his legendary instincts, angles, glove hand and acrobatics. He was also the best stickhandling goalie EVER and the NHL changed the rules just because of him. That alone is a testament to greatness.

[@advanceromance2656]

Hasek vs.Brodeur '94 playoffs.... 7 periods.... You knew it was going into the wee hours of the next morning.

You can't even compare Brodeur to Hasek. Hasek is in a lane of his own.

[@lo-fi8558]

What

[@matts6551]

@maceightyseven bro Jonathan Quick was young in that series, Brodeur was over 40 years old and still starting for the Devils. He still did much better than the younger Henrik Lundqvist against the same team. How many 40+ year old goaltenders do you know that start in the Stanley Cup finals? I’ll wait. How petty are you?
