Uh, who is it?
I imagine that it's somewhat up to the person's personality and what kind of team you want to have. I always play this game as if I'm a GM in a draft, and we're picking these guys from their prime, already aware of their longevity.
If I were starting a team, even though he's not the best player ever, I;d be hard pressed not to take Patrick Roy.
Arguments??

Friends of mine (who all know more about hockey than I do) were talking about who the greatest goaltender of all time the other night. They all spoke as if it were just common sense that Martin Brodeur is that goaltender. Later one of them conceded that you could maybe make a case for Patrick Roy.

I don't see Tony Twist on that list

Brodeur is lucky because he had Scott and Claude to bust so many heads for him before they even got into his zone.
If you're talking best of all time.. Roy and Hasek (lifetime SV of .923 and GAA of 2.20.. way better than Roy)
You guys remember Jim Carey from the caps? He got summoned to replace Beaupre (sp?) back in 94 from the minor leagues and all of the sudden this replacement just started putting up totally insane numbers.
Then as fast as he rose.. BAM... went back to the SUXOR.
That was a star that burned super bright really fast and burned out just as quick.

Agreed about Brodeur. And yeah, I'd take a straight Hasek, but of course.....

Shutouts
Brodeur: 94 in 15 seasons Hasek: 76 in 15 seasons Roy: 66 in 19 seasons
Wins
Brodeur: 508 Hasek: 370 Roy: 551
Career GAA
Brodeur: 2.21 Hasek: 2.21 Roy: 2.53
What stats were you talking about?
edit:
It should be noted that Terry Sawchuk has 103 career shutouts. As well, GAA depends on the era in which the goaltender played, as rule changes have a large bearing on the average number of goals scored per game by all players.
