Is anywhere near as good as Brodeur, Hextall or Belfour?

Could anyone rank the top goalies - especially amongst starters or 1a and 1b goalies

Carey. Like a third dman out there

 

[ChaseANA]

Frederik Andersen.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Bishop
Price

Tokarski played solid for Montreal in the 2014 playoffs. The biggest reason they got eliminated was that the Rangers were able to use their speed to dump and chase, and not have to worry about a 3rd defenseman getting the puck and playing it. Price is one of the best.

 

[Sky04]

Bishop and Price

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Pekka Rinne

 

[Royal Thunder]

Turco was definitely my all time favorite puck handling goalie.

Current guys pretty good at it are Mike Smith, Bishop, Lehner, Price, Rinne

 

[OmniSens]

Andrew Hammond

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Petr Mrazek is realgud.
The difference between him and Howard playing the puck is like night and day.

 

[Captain Creampuff]

Bishop and Price come to mind. Allen is a pretty good puck handler too.

 

[thedustman]

Allen is insane.

Smith is good, Price is good as well.

Bishop doesn't match them.

 

[Steel Winning]

Matt Murray, not exceptional, but plays the puck very calmly and with a lot of control. Although, I'm used to Fleury, who can't play a puck for his life, so...

 

[HanSolo]

Toronto fans are gonna enjoy the way Andersen handles the pucks.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Howard pulls a groin every time he plays the puck.

 

[Mister Ed]

Mrazek feels a lot like Turco was back in the day. He's realgud.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

Fleury.


haha just kidding, i'm sorry.

 

[Laggin70]

Fleury.


haha just kidding, i'm sorry.

I expect the Penguins to give up a goal everytime he leaves the net. That is how scary he handles it.

 

[JS91]

Bishop is amazing. He almost makes more breakout passes every game than half of our D men. He also very often clears the puck when the opposite team dumps it in even if there's a forechecker coming in. You could see how big of a difference it made when he went down in the playoffs.

 

[Space Herpe]

Everybody > Halak

 

[Theodore450]

Price, holtby, Allen, Bishop

 

[IamJust0ne]

Andrew Hammond

Lost my coffee

Bishop
Price
Smith

 

[KingBran]

Price, holtby, Allen, Bishop

Probably the top 4 right here. I would rank them:

Bishop
Price
Allen
Holtby

 

[kingdok]

That's like the main strength of Mike Smith. And the ability to draw penalties.

But yeah, Price and Bishop are somewhere at the top.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Price is one of the best for sure
