But that said, the current goal-tending style is pretty danged boring, most of the time. They are good technically or just plain huge, physically. The skaters have all become much more skilled, and equipment has changed, so I will agree times have changed. Today's goalies simply are not very interesting. I miss weirdo, crazy, unpredictable, koo-koo goalies, like Dom. You never knew what was happening inside his head, but put him on the ice and you got a transformer-like machine who never failed to bring a crowd to its feet. That's rare now.... and when it does happen, the term for an other-worldly save is "hasek-like" Agreed. Goalies used to be a different breed. Hextall, Potvin, Roy, Belfour...all unpredictable and prone to losing their s*** and throwing punches or chopping legs with their stick if you got too close. 1 1 puckloo39 and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cause of a few playoff disappointments. but chasing him in Game 7 of the WCF in '02 was great payback. Can't forget his statue of liberty move in Game 6 either..so sweet. Bernier almost got roasted there...s*** that Petterson kid is FAST. 2 Hockeymom1960 and puckloo39 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
