As some of you have already mentioned, IF your going to discuss the best goalie(s) who have played for the Maple Leafs since 1970, perhaps we should go right back to the 1970-71 season. According to records.nhl.com, Jacques Plante of the Toronto Maple Leafs has the highest save percentage in a single season (1970-71) for any NHL goaltender from 1955 to present.
His save percentage was .944. His goals-against average was 1.89
Remember too that when we were watching Jack Campbell set the consecutive wins record for a Maple Leaf goaltender (and of course he is now the NHL record-holder - great job Jack !), I know that a lot of us focused on his breaking of Felix Potvin's consecutive wins record of 9 in a row; however, he shared that same record with one Joseph Jacques Omer Plante - from December '70 to January '71.
Eat your heart out Carey Price, Tuukka Rask, Tim Thomas, Dominik Hasek, etc.....
Jacques Plante, Toronto Maple Leafs 1970-71:
Games Played: 40
Goals Against: 73
Saves: 1,224
Shots against: 1,297
Save percentage: .944
Goals Against average: 1.89
To me, Mike Palmateer, Felix Potvin, Curtis Joseph and Eddie Belfour were all great - and were all tied for 2nd
