	thanks sporcle for working the Beezer into a quiz

	Pelle Lindbergh ... RIP to one of the last goalies to wear the "Jason style" mask. As a kid, I was afraid he was going to hack up the other players.

	A quiz that makes me correctly spell Kiprusoff AND Vanbiesbrouck? Never would I have thought that spelling Olaf Kolzig would be a cakewalk.

	@johnjf: I tried guessing khabibulin. wouls you like to buy a vowel?

	Man, I almost forgot how dominant Hasek was in the 90's. Also, a lot of these guys have great nicknames e.g Beezer, Olie the Goalie, Eddie the Eagle, the Dominator, etc.

	Olaie the Goalie!

	Way too much time IMO, finished it with 4:15 left. Still, very happy of getting a hockey quizz (too rare IMO :P)

	Pete Peeters, one of the best names in sports. Too bad he's not from Peterborough.

	i wonder if the casting of the movie "The Mask" was conceived because of the answer to 1995-1996

	you gotta be standing on your head for this quiz

	paulvc:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 18:07 GMT		5 points
	Other than the too much time aspect (3 names make up half the quiz), this is great. Got 26 of 27 with 5:00 on the clock... never heard of Lindbergh, as I didn't get into hockey until about 1988. Just read up on him now, so the quiz made me learn something. Also amazes me that Brodeur didn't get a Vezina until 2003 and Roy didn't win one after 1992. Hasek really did dominate the 1990s.

	I'm a little bit surprised to see that the Devils goalie didn't win his first Vezina till 2002-2003, he already had 2 Stanley Cups by that point. (also, I agreed, WAY too much time, I finished with more than 5:00 left)

	@kid canada: i think he's actually from st. petersburg :)

	There's a bizarre thing that goes on in the Vezina trophy winning where players start to earn them based on name rather than performance that year. The result is that players like Brodeur, Hasek and Roy do win them (which they most definitely deserve) but they win them after they are already established as the best goalie in the league (which is why Brodeur had to wait so long for his). It's faulty, but at least they stlil get them

	I just got my home town team's goalie. Go Flames!

	I never knew that Belfour won 2 Vezina trophies, if only we could find someone to replace him in Chicago.

	Can't picture Barrasso wearing anything besides a Penguins uniform.

	kevincrumbs:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 23:39 GMT		2 points
	Only missed Peeters. Couldn't think of a single Bruins goalie in the 80s.

	I was surprised that more people got Jim Carey than Vanbiesbrouk, Peeters, Lindbergh and Barrasso! Chris Wise: Jim Carey and Jose Theodore were very deserving in their winning seasons. This isn't the best goalies of all time, it's the best goalie in that season. Carey had 35 wins and 9 shutouts in 95-96 and Theodore had 7 shutouts and a .931 save percentage, he won most games for the Habs that year, without him, they were nowhere near a playoff team

	All I can say is glad I didn't have to spell Nikolai Ivanovich Khabibulin.

	@ bucknaked....of course a rags fan would fail to include "Battlin' Billy" Smith in his list of good nicknames off of this list. typical LOL! LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!

	Detective:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 03:03 GMT		1 point
	As a Habs fan, Jose Theodore brings back memories both good and bad...mostly bad

	bucknaked:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 05:43 GMT		1 point
	@letsgoisles: No, that's just because I was born in 1990 and I wasn't old enough to watch Billy Smith. All the guys I listed were playing when I was growing up. No disrespect was meant by it.

	Peeters was the only one i missed...have no clue who that is

	Ecto2:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 16:06 GMT		3 points
	@Chriswise... you know nothing, theodore was great that year

	fatbeard:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 18:17 GMT		1 point
	@detective, i know what you mean. I'm a Devils fan first, but an Isles and Habs fan second, and I really would've like to see Theodore have a long, strong career in Montreal. Unfortunately... he was not exactly destined for greatness. He was excellent that year though, yes

	drhaase, Pete Peteers was a goalie who benefitted from playing behind solid defences for most of his career. He went from Philadelphia to Boston and then to Washington, with some more stops after Washington, but he was on the tail end of his career by that point. Unfortunately for him, he only had one kick at the can, or Cup in this case, with Philly in '80.

	Couldn't remember the B's goalie in the 80s, forgot Bz was on the Rags, and Barasso is a Penguin in my mind. Almost forgot Eddie the Eagle won 2 in Chicago...he's a Dallas Star in my mind. Love the quiz, hockey ones are the best.

	All that time in 1995 Jim Carey spent playing goalie for the Capitals must explain why Cable Guy turned out so poorly

	njdevilsftw:	Sep 5th, 2009 at 16:55 GMT		1 point
	Hasek was a good goalie but a bit overrated. He was a flopper and he had to make great saves cause he was always out of position. Brodeur never got any respect cause he played behind Stevens, Neids, and Dano. Once they all retired or left people started to see what a great goalie he really was playing behind an average D. Roy not getting any Vezina trophies in the 90's was a crime.

	I am so proud I spelled Vanbiesbrouck correctly on my first try. Oh, and happy retirement Olie! We love you

	omnipotent1:	Dec 4th, 2009 at 23:38 GMT		2 points
	njdevils, goaltending isn't about style, it's about results, and the fact of the matter is Hasek was like a wall on most nights. In Buffalo, he played for a team that could barely score, which made his job all the more stressful because the margin of error was minimal. I remember when he played against Canada at the '98 Olympics, he was next to unbeatable. When he was on his game, he was one of the best of all time.

	I got the "Bees Man" but I didn't get Patrick Roy...

	To think that with Belfour and Hasek, the Hawks couldn't win the Stanley Cup. Maybe this year.

	y2jdilemma:	Jul 18th, 2010 at 15:02 GMT		2 points
	@faber- Carey may have had 35 and 9, Brodeur has 34 and 12 that year. Brodeur had a slighty higher GAA (2.34 to 2.26) and a better save percentage (.911 to .906). I remember at the time thinking Brodeur got robbed. but as fatbeard said, they usually get paid off on the back end.

	paca:	Aug 2nd, 2010 at 16:57 GMT		1 point
	@y2djilemma, um, brodeur had 6 shutouts that year(but 12 ties), what was bizarre was that Carey was not even in the top ten in save percentage with all those shutouts.

	This should accept Kölzig because that is his real name...
