Do you agree on the comments and answers? Remember that oen is alwasy biased towards the goalies he has worked with and trusts therefore the most.

My personal bias in stick handling was Barrasso, whom I saw often in the 90s. Smokey McLeoud is a name from the more distant pass that comes to mind.
Yes, Espo was great, and as you well remember, you had to get up because you could not slide on rough (or even fresh) ice with wet leather pads. I would also mention Belfour in the read the game category.
A modern paragon of consistency would be Brodeur.

Interesting to see if Emery's signing will change the plans of goalie coach appointment as earlier Flyers were planning to have Neil Little to take over after Lemelin.
