After winning his third Conn Smythe Trophy, he became the only NHL player to win the award thrice, most notably with different teams and different decades. Still, aside from that, he was one of the versatile goalies the game has come to witness with a record win of six Vezina Trophies as well as winning six Stanley Cup titles with the Montreal Canadiens.
Between to , he won six Vezina Trophies, was the first goaltender to win the Hart Trophy more than once, having won it twice. Who are the best NHL goalies of all time? Read on to find out. When the defense gives way, they come to the rescue. They are the very last line of defense. But what makes a great goalie. I hope you enjoy the list and please keep a look out for the continuation of my top player list in the coming weeks.
Tony is Phil Esposito's younger brother and played just 13 games for the Montreal Canadiens to start off his NHL career before the Chicago Blackhawks claimed him in the intra-league draft in Esposito would go on to play the rest of his career for the Hawks. The biggest knock against Tony is that he never won a Stanley Cup and his playoff stats don't compare favourably to his regular season stats. The Hawks never missed the play-offs with Esposito in net, but he was never able to win the big games.
Esposito had a hybrid style and was one of the first goalies to play the butterfly style. His 15 shutouts in is still a modern day record for one season. However, he made the most of the time he had and played into his mid 40's. Bower won four Stanley Cup Championships with the Leafs, the last coming in Bower emerged as an NHL starter after the Leafs claimed him in the dispersal draft in when he was already 34 years old.
He would go on to play 12 seasons for the Leafs despite his age when he first joined the team. Bower played with a reckless abandon, despite never wearing a mask.
He poke checked a lot and was a rare breed in that he came out of his crease to play the puck, something that was extremely rare in his day. That is one decision that Detroit would eventually regret. One of the most popular Leafs in his day due to his flair and out going personality, Broda is considered one of the greatest netminders in the history of the Toronto Maple Leafs franchise.
Broda's cool and calm demeanor helped him reach five Stanley Cup finals during his NHL career and despite being criticized by Leafs management for being overweight, Broda worked hard in practice and was always superb during the regular season.
He was inducted into the HHOF in Brimsek had all the pressure on him when he entered the NHL with the Boston Bruins, as he was replacing a legend in goal in the aging Tiny Thompson. Nicknamed "Mr. Zero" for his ability in shutting out the opposition, Brimsek had the greatest rookie season ever for a goalie and led the Bruins to their second ever Stanley Cup in Brimsek was the perfect stand up goalie and his calmness in the net helped his team throughout the years.
He was great at using his stick to stop pucks and was one of the first goalies to get back at players for taking liberties with him. A great stand up goalie, Bernie Parent led the Philadelphia Flyers to their only two Stanley Cup victories in franchise history as he won the Vezina and Conn Smythe trophies in both years.
Parent patterned his style of play after the legendary Jacques Plante and was often coached by Plante as well. Unfortunately, Parent had to retire early at the age of 34 after a stick struck his right eye and caused him to lose a lot of vision.

And, apparently, it did, as Hall was not short on trophies or awards over his 18 seasons in the NHL. His 84 career shutouts led to an induction to the Hockey Hall of Fame and naming to the Greatest NHL players of all time during the league's centennial season. The legendary Bernie Parent is next on this top 10 list. A brick wall in the net, Parent posted 30 shutouts between During those two years of stellar play, he would also win back-to-back Stanley Cups, Vezina's, and Conn Smythe trophies.
Parent played the finest consecutive seasons by a netminder in NHL history. This led to his early retirement at the age of Parent was a stellar netminder, but, by the time of his retirement, the game of hockey and the goalie position was evolving away from the stand-up goaltender. Overall, his reliability in the net and insane statistics resulted in his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame, naming to Greatest NHL players of all time, and the seventh spot on this list. Despite having a relatively short playing career—just seven seasons--Ken Dryden made a huge impact on the game of hockey.
Dryden guarded the net of the Montreal Canadians for all of the games he played in. Called up to the National Hockey League when veteran goaltender Rogie Vachon suffered an injury, Dryden played just six games of the season before leading Montreal to a Stanley Cup championship. Dryden earned five Vezina Trophies during that time. Posting some incredible statistics over his playing career including a 2.
