Do we forget about Moog over the course of history? Or is he right about the spot that he should be? In other words, just slightly missing the cut off point for the HHOF.
Here is his Vezina finishes:
3, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 8, 8
Playoff record 68-57
Played a bit more than people remember in the playoffs for Edmonton. He and Fuhr usually split the regular season while a more than capable Moog on any other team usually was relegated to back up duty in the playoffs. However, he had his moments.
1981 - 5-4
1983 - 11-5 (took a team to the Cup final while Fuhr played just 11 minutes in postseason)
1984 - 4-0 (in net for last three games of Cup final)
1985 - 0-0 (played 18 minutes)
1986 - 1-0
1987 - 2-0
He didn't lose a single game in the Cup winning years and was the goalie who took the Oilers to the final in 1983. Also was part of that big upset of Montreal in 1981.
Then in Boston:
1988 - 1-4 (no, not great, but was in net for the Cup final vs. the Oilers sharing things with Lemelin)
1990 - 13-7 (took Bruins to Cup final)
1991 - 10-9 (lost to Mario's Pens in semis)
1992 - 8-7 (lost to Mario's Pens in semis)
Then there was 1998 where he was part of an upset of the Penguins in the 1st round.
Obviously these are his highlights. He had some low playoffs in 1993, 1995 and 1997.
But all I am saying is that is Moog underrated when it comes to how he was as a playoff goalie?
