Terry Sawchuk’s name is enshrined in the Hall of Fame, and his jersey hangs in the rafters of Little Caesars Arena. He leads the Detroit Red Wings in goaltending wins with 350. Behind him is Chris Osgood, who is something of a local legend given his role in three Red Wing championships, with 317 wins.

To say that Scott Darling has had a rollercoaster ride of a career would not do his journey justice. After playing in more leagues than most realize exist, his perseverance finally paid off when he cracked the Chicago Blackhawks’ roster in 2014-15. While he’s since moved on through a handful of other organizations, Darling has
Montreal Canadiens’ goaltender Carey Price is expected to start his fourth game of the season this Saturday evening against the Vancouver Canucks.

After an 0-2 start to the 2020-21 campaign, in which the Chicago Blackhawks’ top-two goalie tandem allowed 10 goals collectively, it’s time to try something new. In our latest edition of news and rumours, I didn’t hesitate to call out Malcolm Subban for a failed first game and declare that it was Collin Delia’s chance
The Edmonton Oilers’ recent goaltending crisis has led to repeated speculation and discussions about the team’s hopes for success and how management will attempt to rectify the situation in net, often to no avail. Goaltending has been the organization’s Achilles heel for years, and this season is likely to follow the same trajectory. The projection
If the Chicago Blackhawks’ confusing one-year offer to Corey Crawford wasn’t indication enough that they didn’t want to keep him, then their failure to fight any harder for him should have made it clear. Obviously, Crawford is not part of the organization’s future plans. However, his impact playing in the crease will be impossible to
As we round out the by decade lists for the St. Louis Blues forwards, defensemen, and now goaltenders, there are a lot of players to consider given the rich history of the franchise. Out of all the great goaltenders that have played in St. Louis, only one could lead them to the Stanley Cup victory

The Florida Panthers have brought in plenty of young goalies behind Sergei Bobrovsky in the past year or so. Before he arrived, the team had legendary goalie Roberto Luongo in net, and a prospect named Samuel Montembeault that seemed like he could be the goalie of the future for them. After Luongo retired, Bobrovsky was
With the NHL now set to return to action, fans, pundits, and organizations are starting to settle on the new type of hockey season that will be coming shortly. New division rivals, fewer games, unique scheduling opportunities, and perhaps most importantly; roster implications. The new season is going to have an impact on who exactly
On Dec. 17, Henrik Lundqvist dropped a bomb on the Washington Capitals’ 2020 season plans. Some tough news I need to share with you all.. pic.twitter.com/y7ZtAoo39Q — Henrik Lundqvist (@hlundqvist35) December 17, 2020 The marriage of the man they call “The King” and the Capitals was supposed to be perfect.

The Washington Capitals’ plan to help Ilya Samsonov succeed Braden Holtby in net got upended on Thursday afternoon, as goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who signed to a one-year, $1.5 million deal in October, announced he would be stepping away from the game to get medical treatment. “Today is a pretty tough and emotional day for me,”
On Dec. 8, the Florida Panthers announced the establishment of a Goaltending Excellence Department. In his first season as general manager, Bill Zito is pioneering an environment that provides a better experience for goaltenders at every level in the organization’s system.

The last line of defence. In a nutshell, that is what a goaltender has, is and will always be. No matter the era they played in, the job has always remained the same. See shot, stop shot…rinse and repeat. Sounds simple enough, now if only it were that easy. Off we go to the 1960’s

2021 is nearly upon us, and with that, a new NHL season, hopefully. After much speculation about what the Carolina Hurricanes would do with their goaltending situation heading into free agency, the answer was simple: Nothing.
