Tuukka Rask has the highest save% in the history of the game

[KoozNetsOff 92]

Are there actually people who think Brodeur > Hasek/Roy? Lol.

 

[COHawk]

Hellebuyck has a .053 difference between games with <30 shots and games with >30 shots. Wow.

 

[cupcrazyman]

1 Vezina
1 Stanley Cup
1 WJC Bronze
1 Olympic Bronze
1 First Team AS
1 All Star Game

Not much if you're comparing him to greats like Hasek,Roy & Brodeur

 

[Hogan86]

Matt Murray is at 0.925

He still hasn't had a full season as a starter yet, let's not get carried away.

Clearly, Ben Bishop is one of the ten best goalies to ever play the game. Look at those chumps like Roy and Fuhr and Smith and... hell, Sawchuk, Hainsworth, etc. Lousy save percentages! Lousy goalies!

 

[nmbr_24]

By no means do I think OP is comparing Rask to Hasek, Roy etc...I hope not at least

I don't think so, I just wanted to stress that Hasek was something else.

 

[Trap Jesus]

I think its important to remember when Roy played, sv % was significantly lower (just like how we accept scoring is lower today. Direct correlation.) As far as how well he outperformed his peers in particular seasons, he has a few that can stand to Hasek's.

Hasek was light-years ahead of his competition. There are no comparables. His 6 year run between 93/94 and 98/99 is more or less Gretzky/Orr level dominance over his peers (who both conveniently have 6-year runs where they were comically ahead of the rest of the players in the league).

Hasek relative to peers 1993/94-1998/99; minimum 200 games played

Roy's is a little tougher to compare considering a big part of his story is how quickly he established himself and you don't see confirmed save % numbers until his 3rd season, but his best 6 year period where he won 3 Vezinas, was top 3 in Vezina voting 5 of the 6 years, and 6th in the other season, it looks like this:

Roy relative to peers 1988/89-1993/94; minimum 200 games

 

[93LEAFS]

Considering most of the names with him on that list were also born in the 80's, it seems more of an era based accomplishment than one that is reflective of his place in the history of the game. A good goalie, but lets see how he does in the back stretch of his career.

 

[LongWayDown37]

Hasek was the desperation save god of the dead-puck-era

Is that seriously what you think?

That's usually where the pace plummets.

Roy's peak was between 1987-88 and 1991-92. Hardly any different from Hasek, only slightly shorter.

http://www.nhl.com/stats/player?agg...1992&filter=gamesPlayed,gte,200&sort=savePctg




during his peak seasons:

Hasek was 1,1,1,1,1,1 in sv%

Roy was 1,1,1,1,2 in sv%

 

[Breakers]

And to Think Toronto traded him for a guy Boston was going to put on waivers.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

This just goes to show how insane Hasek was. Obviously not a coincidence that all other goalies are either still playing or (for Thomas) were very recently playing.

Yep. Just goes to show you how ridiculous the current equipment/lack of offense combination is when pretty much every goalie on the "best save percentage of all time" list played within the last 7 years.

 

[The Kingslayer]

It's still Marty.

Hell no.

JFJ jr. How badly did that trade set the leafs back?

Rask recently:

2016 - 2017: .915 with the league's average at .913
2015 - 2016: .915 with the league's average at .915.

So amazing, so good...

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Those statistics mean little to Bruins fans in light of his lack of success.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Huh? There definitely is a debate between Hasek and Roy.

There is talk about it because there are a lot of Habs fans but Hasek is definitely the GoAT.

This post from Deathstroke really caught my attention:

Do those include only complete games?

 

[Dustin]

JFJ jr. How badly did that trade set the leafs back?

Not just JFJ's fault. He wanted the full strip down rebuild but the board would not let him. JFJ is obviously never going to be considered a good GM, but no GM was turning that piece of coal that was the Leafs into a gold nugget.

Edit* oh ya, Hasek is the best goal tender I have ever seen.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

Broduer is objectively the best goalie of all time. He has the most wins and the point of the game is to win.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Broduer is objectively the best goalie of all time. He has the most wins and the point of the game is to win.

He also has the most losses.
The role of the goalie is to keep the puck out of the net and give your team a chance to win, and Hasek was by far the best at it

 

[Moncherry]

You've got to be kidding with this, it's Roy and it's not close. Hasek was the desperation save god of the dead-puck-era, Roy was who you wanted in the post-season when things mattered.

Yes, as opposed to Hasek, who sucked in the playoffs and never came up big when it mattered.

 

[10Ducky10]

Dryden is the best of all time.
Check the stats that mattered.
Played in 8 seasons and didn't win the cup twice...think about that for awhile.

 

[beowulf]

Hasek was the GOAT, not only do the stats support that, but watching him play, and following the narrative of the league supports that.

Still Patty Roy, 4 Cups and only person to win 3 Conn Smythe.
