Best Current Puck Handling Goalies

[JenniferH]

Holtby has fantastic puck handling skills.

 

[J15]

Detroit might have the best and worst puck handling goalie in the league

 

[Territory]

So Andersen is a good puck handler? That's good.

From what I've seen, Smith is one of the best.

Price

Funny thing is he isnt lying

 

[The Macho King]

Answer is Bishop and Price.

Any other answer is flat out wrong.

Answer is Bishop and Price.

Any other answer is flat out wrong.

Of course they are great,just saying there are others that can handle the puck very well .Hammond would be one of the more unknown guys that possess this skill

 

[Bouboumaster]

Carey Price, obviously

 

[BernieParent]

Mason is no slouch.

 

[snailderby]

Bishop:



Mrazek:



Price:

 

[QuietContrarian]

Andersen, looks like an xtra D sometimes.

 

[Mrb1p]

Price is the best since Brodeur, which means he might be the 2nd best ever at it.

Bishop is also really good at that, but he's a little (tall) *****, so **** him.

 

[The Nuge]

Answer is Bishop and Price.

Any other answer is flat out wrong.

Well given you left off Mike Smith, that's definitely not true

 

[Wsh]

Obviously I'm biased but Holtby is really good at handling the puck.

 

[cujoflutie]

maybe this belongs on the Detroit board but I wonder if part of the reason Howard is such a bad puck handler is his handedness; he's left-handed but plays goal right handed (said he learned to throw right handed for baseball because it was easier to get gloves that way)

I haven't seen him handle the puck a lot does he need to flip it over when he shoots?

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

Allen is unbelievable. Wish he would improve at the more important aspects of being a goalie though. Like mental focus.

Also aggressiveness with the puck does not equal good with the puck. Looking at you Mike Smith, Turco, Belfour.

 

[bigwillie]

My top five:

1. Mrazek
2. Price
3. Allen
4. Bishop
5. Smith

I am still not entirely sure if Alex Stalock is a great puckhandler or a terrible one. He plays the puck constantly and occasionally makes a phenomenal pass, but has made some absolutely brutal flubs that have directly lead to goals. I also don't know if it's just that the Sharks, after years of Nabokov stubbornly refusing to stop playing the puck despite how terrible he was and then Niemi's incompetence, flat out didn't know how to play with an aggressive puck handler.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Miller is extremely good at playing the puck

 

[guyzeur]

Obviously I'm biased but Holtby is really good at handling the puck.

Bishop:



Mrazek:



Price:

Sorry but all of these examples are pretty easy to accomplish for any goalies.

 

[Hisch13r]

Price, Holtby and Bishop

 

[Evergreen]

Mike Smith. Too bad he sucks at stopping pucks now.

 

[sparxx87]

Arturs Irbe

 

[Bronz]

Bishop and Price deserve to be in the top 3 but Mrazek takes the cake as #1. More and more people will realize he's the best the longer he's in the league.

 

[Retire91]

Current, Aside from Mrazek's playoff fumble he is really really good with the puck

Past -Turco was amazing, loved watching that guy was jelous of Dallas fans was also before the restricted areas along the boards.

 

[Ezekial]

Definitely gotta go with Mrazek, Bishop, and Price top 3, HM Holtby.

Mike Smith doesn't deserve to be on lists.

 

[HavlatMach9]

Answer is Bishop and Price.

Any other answer is flat out wrong.

no, the answer is Price and Bishop.
