Something I got to thinking about today is, who's the best goalie in franchise history? (since 1996)
I think there are a few top candidates (in no order):
Mike Smith
Games played: 312 (1st)
Wins: 128 (3rd)
Shutouts: 22 (1st)
Playoff GP: 16 (2nd)
Playoff wins: 9 (1st)
Ilya Bryzgalov
Games played: 257 (4th)
Wins: 130 (1st)
Shutouts: 21 (T-2nd)
Playoff GP: 11 (3rd)
Playoff wins: 3 (3rd)
Awards: Vezina Finalist (2009-10)
Sean Burke
Games played: 211 (5th)
Wins: 97 (5th)
Shutouts: 15 (3rd)
Playoff GP: 10 (4th)
Playoff wins: 2 (4th)
Awards: Vezina Finalist (2001-02)
Nikolai Khabibulin
Games played: 284 (3rd)
Wins: 126 (4th)
Shutouts: 21 (T-2nd)
Playoff GP: 18 (1st)
Playoff wins: 8 (2nd)
Pretty basic metrics, but gotta imagine our best ever is one of these four.
