Great Goalies of the NHL: Stories of the Legendary Players

back at the Stanley Cup champions of hockey history quickly proves the

conventional wisdom. Great Goalies of the NHL profiles some of the most

outstanding netminders the game has ever seen: Jacques Plante, who pioneered

use of the goalie mask while minding net for the dynasty Montreal Canadiens

that won 5 Stanley Cups in a row; Ken Dryden, another Canadiens goaltender

who backstopped the team to six Stanley Cup victories; Glenn Hall, who still

holds the record for most consecutive NHL games played by a goalie; Patrick

Roy, known as Saint Patrick to his fans, widely regarded as the greatest

goaltender of all time; such superstar stoppers as Terry Sawchuk, Grant Fuhr, Johnny Bower, Martin Brodeur, and more.
