New poll series coming from me on June 3
Vanbiesbrouck and Richter would get my vote. Both in the top 30 all-time of goalies, both playing up to their full potential while sharing the goalie duties in New York.

Best Triandem?

(Oh my misspent youth as a Leaf fan.)
Pretty weak goalies duos were mentioned in this thread, so I ask a question: how would we look on Halak/Price duo? Are they worthy of considered them in this thread?
I'd go with
Denis Herron
Michel Larocque
Richard Sevigny
Back on topic, how about Rogie Vachon and Gump Worsley.
I'm really interested on who people think is the best dup of all-time. Lets seperate it pre and post expansion because clearly during the original six it was a lot easier to have 2 great goaltenders on one team.
And I'd rather have
Worsley
Esposito
Hodge
Actually, that was Vachon and not Hodge in 68-69. And Esposito only played 13 games.
Vachon -36
Espostio - 13
Worsley - 30
Wakely - 1
The Herron/Larocque/Sevigny tandem of 80/81 had
Herron - 25
Larocque - 28
Sevigny - 33
Wamsley - 5
All except Wamsley appeared in enough games to win the Vezina. Minimum 25 games.
And it's a team award. Do you think the fact that they all played 25 games makes them an awesome tandem, or do you think it means the Habs were a good team that allowed the least GA in the league?
It was basically three good goalies playing on a team with great team defense. I think that defense had 4 future HOFers on it. None of the three goalies were in the running for the 1st or 2nd all-star teams, basically the equivalent to the current Vezina. The fact the Habs went with a 3 man rotation really shows how little confidence the coaching staff had in any of them.
Still no mention of Rask/Thomas?? Thomas won a vezina as the leagues top goalie in 2008 and led the league in save % and GAA and then the next year Rask led the league in save % and GAA.
When will we ever see a team with two different goalies who lead the league in those two categories back to back??
