Wow this is awesome! How the hell does this series not have any publicity? I found this by pure dumb luck.

My favorite is Dominator Hasek.

Hate the Rangers, but it's hard to say something negative about the guy.

Marty is a treasure, the Devils don't have a rabid fan base and that is unfortunate. Because what they and everyone else is seeing with the "Great" Martin Brodeur is something we may never see again for a long, long time.

Billy Smith was my teams greatest goaltender, yes, there were a ton of reasons to hate him, but he brought home the Bacon.
