Ed Belfour. He was barely moving by the end of his time with the team. On angle shots he'd square up on his knees keeping his arms tight to his body and his shoulders high. Eventually shooters just started roofing it over his shoulder shrugs.

Anti-big equipment: Mikael Tellqvist. Overplayed shooters constantly. Never seen so many open net tap ins against a Leafs' goalie.

Not a Leaf but Miller has to be a smallest goalie that looked huge in net. The guy was maybe 165 lbs, if you looked up the word Bone-rack , Millers picture would be there.

Another absolutely stellar Heybuddy pointless attention seeking thread.

Hey - next we should find out our players favourite colours!! Maybe make it a poll?

Thank god you were here to post your sarcasm, otherwise this thread would be pointless....

I barely remember him, but this seems to spark some (bad) memories.

I faintly remember Beaupre as a leaf goalie.

He was pretty bad, but did he rely on big equipment in his last days?

Giguere's gear was comical.

Agreed. I remember being quite shocked at how bad he was at the shoot out when it was first introduced.

The week before the season starts is the perfect time for an off-season thread.

Sparks? What did he ever get by?

The AHL and Dubas' favour.

This is the offseason.

We can't discuss a lot until there are cuts.

Go back to the All or Nothing Discussion Thread if you don't care for this one.

Why do people post in threads in which they have no intention of contributing?

Kidd, Pogge, Sparks, (and I’ll throw in Gustavsson) we’re all extremely athletic goalies who got by on reflexes and natural ability than technique or ability to read the play. Equipment had nothing to do with their level of success or failure. They all played the game like it was recess.

Pogge and Monster were massive disappointments for me.

I think their issues were mostly mental.

Pogge was a headcase by all accounts from the start.
Monster seemed to never find his game again after all the trauma around his family and his heart condition but he was an elite talent.
