Billy Smith once went 19-0 in playoff series.










I would take Dryden every time

loved billy smith but I would also take Dryden

Incredible

that mask gives me goosebumps

Ken Dryden was a fantastic goalie, but it certainly didn't hurt having Guy Lapointe, Serge Savard, Larry Robinson, and Jacques Laperrière as your top 4 defensemen.

open only if you played it today

Is there more than one Aho in the NHL?


You ask, which one? There are now two Sebastian Ahos, same spelling and all, in the NHL.

i got 8/9 as a result lol

Varsity record of 76-4-1 at Cornell is also insane.

He also had the courage to stand up to Habs GM Sam Pollock.

Few challenged Canadiens GM Sam Pollock in the 1970s. But when Dryden didn't like his contract offer, he went to work for a law firm and interned for political activist Ralph Nader instead. The Canadiens lost in the first round of the 1974 playoffs without Dryden

Yeah, I avoid picking him and anyone named Greg Adams.

Sam Adams is a safer bet

Wow.

Wow.

I think Tampa Bay should have spent more time haggling out a new deal.

Also a fact...

Kessel has an epic beard, McMediawhore's beard looks like a 12 year old Dutch girl's.

Also a fact: Phil Kessel elevated the play of future Hall of Famers Crosby, Malkin and Fleury to win Stanley Cups

McDavid couldn't even help a beer league team win.

Leafs Palmateer for me...

Agreed. The Caps version is too busy. And some might say "too Stars and Bars-y".

Granny Cllampett votes the other way, however.

I'm fatigued just watching it...

 

[BGDave]

Domi is the only player I have ever seen who adopted Ali's rope-a-dope, but used his head as the target for the opponent.

A match made in heaven. Few could throw them like Probert and just about no one could absorb punches to the head like Domi. Unreal how that guy could take a shot (or twenty) and keep going.
