I was 10 when Roy was traded. I got into hockey when I was 7 or 8.

I'll go with Price.

 

[Chili]

Jacques Plante

Kudos for including Vezina and Hainsworth in the poll even if no one here saw them play.

 

[TRG]

I was 6. It still hurt

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I was 16

Still pissed at Tremblay

I wanna give some love to Huet, guy was extremely lovable and gave us some damn good hockey outside of shootouts.

Roy for me, there was something about him, liked hackett too

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Roy, but Price is a close second. Followed by Hackett and Moog. Just noticed your missing my grandpas favourite, Gump Worsley, love watching old vids/interviews with him.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Holy crap hadnt seen Hackett's mug in years!

Halak too.

I love how Aebischer made the list and Theodore didn’t. Used to love Theodore because he was small and often took over games with insane lateral movement. Patrick Roy was the reason I became a goalie so I have to go with him.

Voted Dryden without hesitation. Roy 2nd. I grew up watching Dryden play and he wasn't just very good, he was so entertaining to watch. What he did with those super thin pads was just amazing. Thinking of Dryden behind Robinson/Lapointe/Savard while watching the current team is such a downer.

Roy throwing his little tantrum deserved or not and wanting out was like a huge **** you to the Habs fanbase IMO and I've never forgiven him for it. Tremblay might've been the cause of it but Roy and everyone else involved could've handled that situation much better and it should've never got to the point of trading Roy away. I'm going with Price.

Durdum. Absurdurdum.

Lol!!!!

For me it's Price. I have only started watching hockey by 96-97 or 97-98. By that time, Roy was a Colorado Avalanche. I liked Hackett, Thibault, thought Garon might become a starter. I like Theo for the time he was a savior. The season there were lots of injuries and then.. anyway. I just hate a goalie who is going to allow soft goals too often. There are others who are sensational on some plays, and allow the odd goal too.
--------------------------------------------
Price has a lot of upsides. He is Tall, he covers the net well. He is very technical, all about the technique. He can move the puck around with sharp passes. He doesn't give a lot of rebounds. -- Cons : He can be slow to react. He may allow the odd weak goal. Seems to have a slight technique change since his injuries...
Overall, Price has been a solid goalie for the time I watched him play. He gives him team a chance to win all the time. He may never get back to his 14-15 form, but he is a solid goalie who can go on great and bad stretches. Wouldn't trade him.

Theodore

I almost picked Dryden, but personal issues aside, I picked Roy for those 2 great Stanley Cup runs. He didn't have the big 3, didn't have the Rocket and Béliveau, and carried 2 "good" teams to the top honours. The way it ended pissed me off, but I blame Tremblay more than Roy.

 

[Price is Wright]

Dryden, especially since he retired just in time for the Islanders to begin their dynasty. He might have stopped a Cup or two otherwise.

 

[SquiddFX]

If we are talking about goalies I have witnessed play for the CH my list to choose from is like Huet, Theodore, Price, and Halak.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Where the heck is Theo?

Surely I have a goalie which retired in 1937 over him in Hainsworth, all of us here a 90+ years old right?

 

[LaFloater]

Roy all the way. I have a soft spot for Dryden but he retired just after I started caring about hockey. Dryden could have played at least 3 or 4 more years and been awesome but he had won so many cups, there was nothing left to play for. Roy created his own goalie style. He singlehandedly won the 1986 Cup and was a huge part of the 1993 run. He also should have won again in 1989 but they blew it to the Flames. Surprised Brian Hayward and Jose Theodore aren't on this list but Aebischer is ??? LOL should have added some other mediocrity like Bunny Larocque, Steve Penney and Denis Heron!!
