Right catch goaltenders

[Doctor No]

I did a little data work to estimate the proportion of right-catch goaltenders in NHL history. It's about 11%, and we're in a low point right now.

Bonus question: on average, are right catch goaltenders weirder than left catch goaltenders?

 

[Michael Farkas]

Oh my gosh, yes, they're total mutants...

If I had to answer...Josh Harding was my favorite...

 

[Howie Hodge]

As one of my all time favs, one Roger "The Dodger" Crozier has been shown, I'll go with another Sabres keeper...

Straight out of High School and into the NHL, Tom Barrasso, or as Grapes called him, Barrassa.

 

[Albatros]

History suggests not......

Gilles Gratton was a left catching goalie...

 

[Doctor No]

Yeah, when I think about most "weird" goalies, they all end up being left catch.

Of course, 90% of goalies are left catch, so there's going to be more total weird goalies that are left catch.

I dunno why, but I love everything about this photo and how nothing matches up. It's like they picked some random guy from the stands to be in net, gave him whatever spare equipment was in storage, and they had no mask there.

EDIT: i love the fact that half of his stick has disappeared

My theory is that whomever initially put this photo on the Intergoogle took it from a hockey card but didn't want people to know that.
