	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?

	bucknaked:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 21:04 GMT	4 points
	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 22:07 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)

	Ken_From_MD13:	Aug 18th, 2009 at 22:34 GMT	-4 points
	the knock on Brodeur was he had a good "D" infront of him so he had an easy job. I never understood why Hasek got as many as he did..he was just an average goalie. And I agree with the person who said "Osgoods" name should be on here more.

	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!

	Michael:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 00:12 GMT	1 point
	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 19th, 2009 at 03:39 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.

	letsgoisles89:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 06:58 GMT	-1 points
	@ 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 07:03 GMT	1 point
	As a Habs fan, Jose Theodore brings back memories both good and bad...mostly bad

	bucknaked:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 09:43 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.

	drhaase:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 10:01 GMT	1 point
	Peeters was the only one i missed...have no clue who that is

	Ecto2:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 20:06 GMT	3 points
	@Chriswise... you know nothing, theodore was great that year

	fatbeard:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 22:17 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

	omnipotent1:	Aug 20th, 2009 at 07:01 GMT	1 point
	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.

	dykstra:	Aug 21st, 2009 at 04:32 GMT	1 point
	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 20:55 GMT	0 points
	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
