Great goalie, very accomplished, but no to this sentence. He didn't even inherit the 'Best Goalie in the NHL' mantle until Hasek was a Red Wing and Roy was retired (both of whom he was measurably inferior to right until the end). And then he was quickly challenged for the title by first Luongo, then Lundqvist.
Anyway, great goalie. A top 10 all-timer, first ballot Hall of Famer. The weirdo who played the position as if he was improvising it when everyone else was following a guide. Still great into his mid-late-30s, and great when he first broke in as a 20 year old, too. We don't see too many like him.
Can we finally axe the trapezoid now that he's gone, though?
