Worst goalie tandem in history

[Arthur Morgan]

Elvis and one of the Jonas brothers might make good music, but i bet they could soon challenge the worst goaltending tandem in NHL history title

ps... i said they could

Jonas Brothers...... Good? what?

THe Canucks Curt Ridley and Caeser Maniago

I remember how awful the Toskala-Over the hill Cujo tandem were for the Leafs in 08-09

 

[Hobnobs]

What does that have to do with anything? You said in Ottawa's first year, I was merely pointing out he didn't play for them that season.

Oh my bad. No idea why I wrote "first year".

Not surprising that most of the picks are from the 1980's. First one I thought of was Bernhardt/Wregget/Bester/St.Croix for the 84-85 Leafs but after reading through the thread I see some real stinkers.

Im actually surprised there isn't more from the 70's. Pretty bad expansion decade but I guess most team had at least one goalie that dragged the tandem out of this thread.

Yeah, just think of some of the bad teams and I come up with Gilles Meloche, Doug Favell, Michel Plasse, Chico Resch, Gerry Desjardins.... none of whom I would describe as awful.

I guess part of it is that many in here don´t remember those years. And in recent years if someone fails there is storm around it. In 70´s what I hace read Red Wings did have some bad tandems. Canucks too. Dunc Wilson, Ed Dyck, George Gardner didn´t have a good year. And people look more at the name than their results on that particular season. I mean how good was DeJordy at Red Wings or Kings. Or Maniago at Canucks.

Yeah, that's the thing about the 70's, even on bad teams you had at least one goalie who was decent or serviceable at other times in his career; that Canucks trio you mentioned is one notable exception (even in their first year they had Charlie Hodge). It's hard to think of a lousy 70's team where their ineptitude was blamed on the goalies. As I've mentioned before, when you watch videos of bott0m-tier 70's teams, they're skating around like chickens with their heads cut off, leaving their goalies hanging out to dry.

I thought the 2008-09 Islanders tandem of Yann Danis and Joey MacDonald was pretty bad. As usual Rick DiPietro was injured early on I believe and they just never acquired any suitable replacement for him.

The Blues had some doozies during their rough years. Maybe the Sanford/Lalime/Bacashua trio of 05-06?
