Truly gives meaning to “stand up goalie generation”

Hextall throwing a punch because he’s pissed someone scored on a net he left wide open is hilarious

early 90s was a literal revolution in goaltending. not just equipment, but strategically. they learned how to play the position properly, angles, making sure high percentage areas are covered just by form and movement, etc.

The pads were so tiny back then

You guys acting like this doesnt happen in todays games lol cmon

I don’t think Gretzky would have the goals he would have if he was playing against goalies of today.

Now make a compilation of the worst goals of the last decade and it’ll still look stupid. How about some of the best saves? The style wasn’t great but it wasn’t this bad overall.

Back when goalies didn’t know their knees could bend. Seriously were they not allowed to squat or what?

This sure gives credence to ovechkin being the best goalscorer of all time.

How does this affect ~~Lebron~~Gretzky’s legacy?

The reason the 80’s were so high scoring

Oh look I found a blooper reel of bad goaltending moments – this is what it looked like folks!

I feel like I could find these in the 21st century too lol.

It gives you an appreciation at how revolutionary Roy was

It’s not fair the puck was only 1 pixel in size back then. Way harder to stop

They didn’t even use pads to block 😂

Now post goaltending lowlights from the 21st century.

Fleury would fit in with the board work. Scariest part of the penguins cup runs was him trying to get pucks behind the net.

How many beers deep are some of those goalies lol

The creases are barely visible in these. Are blue creases a 21st-century thing?

I’d love to see modern goalies try to achieve a .900 save percentage in that old gear. You can’t really butterfly in them so you’re standing up or stacking pads or throwing yourself around acrobatically.

I wonder if lacrosse gaulies can evolve too

Who would people say was/is the most revolutionary goalie of all time?

What does « before the 21st century » have to do with it? Are you implying that we don’t have horrible goaltending mistakes today?

Ahh the good old days, before goalies gave a shit.

Styles come and styles go, but bad bounces are timeless.

Looks like Luongo in the 2011 Final.

I’m confused, it’s just a bunch of senators highlights

I can find goalie bloopers from the last 10 years despite their polished technique and advanced equipment

Some of my favorite players growing up. Man that Gordie Howe snippet, Ray Bourque, and Cam Neely. Goalies wore smaller pads so more open net and unfortunately allowed the goalie greater movement. I hated my Coopers, had to dive and move a lot more to cover more net. We were smaller and lighter than today’s net minders. Also guys tended to stand up a lot to play the puck. I used the Patrick Roy stance. Here is some info:
Stand up style= PROS:Playing this way expends significantly less energy than the other main styles.Very low risk of injury, as wear and tear on your muscles and joints will be virtually non-existent.Great advantage during screen scenarios, as this stance will allow you to look over top of players.Greater mobility, with the ability to adjust positioning mid-play.
CONS:Massive exposure to the bottom-half of the net.
Butterfly: PROS:Moderate coverage of all areas of the net.The routine nature of the butterfly makes it highly practicable.
CONS:Some exposure to the top-half of the net.Difficult to recover from big rebounds.Prone to groin and knee injuries.Five hole is exposed if your timing’s off.Going down-and-up hundreds of times per game can be exhausting.
Hybrid (I play this): PROS:Unpredictable to shooters.Calmness in net usually results in relatively low energy expenditure.Low risk of injury.
CONS:It’s occasionally a guessing game.Very quick thinking is required
Is it really better goaltending? I mean those goalies had to be very athletic. Heavy pads that smoked up water as the game went on. Two pad stacks. Kick saves. The reality is that the butterfly is a more effective style because it’s all about covering net and getting hit by the puck.

If the nhl goalies looked like that, I can’t even begin to imagine what the beer league goalies must ve looked like

This just show bad goal tending to me, it is not an accurate description of what goalies were remember Felix « the cat » Potvin, Eddie « the Eagle » Belfore, Dominik « the Dominator » Hesek, Patrick Roy were some of the prevalent names from the end of that era. You think they changed how they play when the century changed?

This is why Gretzky has the records he has and they won’t be broken lol.
McDavid or any other top 50 player does even better in their current form against those invisible goalies.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. But you make 90% of the ones you do take since the goalies don’t go low.” The full quote you never knew existed…..

The one Bob Mason let in led to 4 OT-battle known as the “Easter Epic”.
LaFontaine won it for the Islanders. And by “it”, I mean the series as well as the game. That was a Game 7.

A lot of this footage is from a VHS tape from the 80s I wore out as a kid. « Hockey the lighter side ». Worth the 30 mins on YT.

If you want to really see how good the goaltending in the 1980’s could actually be, I recommend watching Game 1 of the 1984 Stanley Cup final. A 1-0 goalie battle between Grant Fuhr and Billy Smith.

Before 1995 is a better way to phrase it
This is more before the 90s
