He had the greatest offense ever (and a D that played offense) in front of him and was all left alone. If people just looked at his numbers they'd think he sucked.Fuhr wasn’t too bad, wish we had him during his prime years.

Quickest glove hand ever and when they needed stops they got them. You can't win 4 Cups if the goalie sucks

Different era, too. Ovechkin, who put up what's pretty eye popping for this era 49 goals this season, would have only been the 11th leading goal scorer in 1982, say. Patrik Laine, with 44, would have tied for 14th with guys like Barry Pederson.
Leading teams give fewer opportunities in the playoffs. Getting ahead is a much bigger deal come playoff time.For a team that was widely thought to be a third period squad, they ended up 1-6 this postseason when trailing after two.
Looking forward to the draft and seeing SweeNeely get another crack at a first-round talent...
...oh wait...
He is lucky to be alive.That was I think in 1989 or so but I recall reading if he bled out for another half minute he wouldn't have made it.
Yea Dryden was kicking ass when I was in elementary school.Fuhr was the goods and pretty much was the defense on those Oilers teams. Mad respect for his game. He did have a wicked glove but the quickest may have been before your time, Ken Dryden.

Only player to win the Con Smythe before the Calder.Best glove I ever saw. What he did against the Bruins in '71 was the stuff of legend
Team was projected to be fighting for a playoff spot..end up with 100+ pts. Future is so so bright
I used to get pissed when I'd see highlights of Dryden giving up Rask-like cheapies to the Sabres etc., then he'd stone us.Yea Dryden was kicking ass when I was in elementary school.

But you know it was always a big game B's-Habs.
Exactly.. quite a couple of folks overlooking this. Can only go up from here. McAvoy and DeBrusk performed better than expected. Donato and Bjork are coming into form, and who saw Heinen scoring as much as he did?
