Kiprusoff was fantastic in that 2004-2010 stretch. 1,2,3,5,8,8 in Vezina voting with a 3rd & 4th Hart finish to boot.

 

[biturbo19]

Kipper was arguably the best goaltender in the league for a decent stretch and legitimately almost won his team a Cup. Rask was consistently Top-5/10 for a long time.

I know where my vote falls on this particular case. But i do see the other side of it.

 

[Haatley]

Peak Kiprusoff.

He never had the luxury of playing for a team as good as the Bruins were.

 

[yzerman]

Tuuka gets my vote but its close

 

[sennysensen]

I picked Tuukka because he was at the top of his game for longer than Kipper.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Kipper is the correct answer here.

One of the best goalies ever, not just of these two.
- when he was at his prime, the best goalie in the world of his era

Singlehandedly (almost) won Finland the World Cup and Calgary the Stanley Cup,
its the little things that favors the winner, luck is one of them.

What's sad is that Kipper would probably lose this poll vs Carey Price

 

[Connor McConnor]

Kipper always destroyed the Oilers so he has my vote.

 

[Ceremony]

The Flames' run to the cup final was one of the formative memories of my NHL fandom, so he wins.

Kiprusoff was fantastic in that 2004-2010 stretch. 1,2,3,5,8,8 in Vezina voting with a 3rd & 4th Hart finish to boot.

And played multiple seasons of 70+GP

precisely: 74,74,76,76,73,71,70...... from age 30-36

thats really insane

 

[Voight]

And played multiple seasons of 70+GP

& the best defensemen he had in front of him was early career Phanuef.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Nostalgia strings got me voting Kipper.

What's sad is that Kipper would probably lose this poll vs Carey Price

They’re closer than some would admit, but it definitely wouldn’t be sad. Kiprusoff, like Price, had a great peak and some other very good years, and both had their share where their numbers didn’t match their reputations, but they still looked good visually.

 

[Foppberg]

Kipper. He's the most entertaining goaltender I've ever seen, his mobility was just insane. Bailing Calgary out night after night while Phaneuf was off looking for a big hit.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Peak: Kipper

Career: Rask

 

[Master P]

Kipper

 

[JaegerDice]

Rask

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Kiprusoff played 70 games seven years in a row.

Rask did it once.

& the best defensemen he had in front of him was early career Phanuef.

You misspelled “Regehr”.

 

[CascadiaPuck]

Canucks fan saying Kipper. Dude was a horse and I felt underrated in general. As others noted, many 70+ game seasons. It’s just nuts. Saw so much of him. He was great. (No disrespect to Rask intended.)

 

[TaLoN]

One more for the Kipper

 

[Canadiens Ghost]

Definitely Kipper for me.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Kipprusoff was a good deal better.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Kipper. AINEC.

I feel he did more with less.

I feel Rask did less with more.

They're close, they were both elite goalies but as much as the Habs were flawed over the years, Kipper was bailing out Calgary every game. I think he was a notch above Price in terms of ability

Price : Vezina 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 - Hart 1, 7, 14, 17
Kipper : Vezina 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 8 - Hart 3, 4, 20

What's sad would be all these "lol Price AINEC". Heck, don't need to look any further, somebody laughed at my initial post in this thread. Price has a LOT of fanboys.
