Good thing my employer provides the keyboard.

1 big stand out....Quick.

The rest you can at least make an argument for.

But sorry, Quick has zero business being anywhere near the top 10 goalies of all time. He is easily behind Lundqvist, Thomas, Luongo and arguably Holtby, Rinne just in his contemporaries.

While I think he's overrated, Brodeur >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Quick.

As are Plante, Brimsek and Parent

I read Quick as Odjick

The rest you can at least make an argument for.

You think there's an argument for Mozyakin?

9 out of 10 LWs are either Russian/born in Russia or of Ukrainian descent.

Mozyakin, whoa. No, sorry.

missed that one. really I'm not that good at non NHL Soviet/Russian players outside of the obvious ones like Kharlamov or Tretiak so tend to not question them on lists.

but yeah, looking more the Wingers are just as bad.

really the goalies list is so bad it grabbed most of my attention

9 out of 10 LWs are either Russian/born in Russia or of Ukrainian descent.

Even then there's no love for Keith Tkachuk.

This "discussion" ended the moment you put in Mozyakin. If you want to troll, try better. Closed.
