As I am winding down on the easy to obtain Osgood jerseys (I will play the wait and see approach on the rest), I am looking towards my next project, I will be looking to get a jersey from every NHL team and customize it with that team's most memorable goalie (pretty much since 1995 as those jerseys are easier to obtain). Here is my list of the "goalie for each team. If you feel I am misled please post your rebuttal I would love to read it.
Anaheim Ducks- Giguere (2 cup finals I think that is enough) Atlanta Thrashers- Lehtonen Boston Bruins- Lord Byron Dafoe Buffalo Sabres- Hasek, but I really like Miller Calgary Flames- Kipper Carolina Hurricanes- Irbe (I welcome disputes on this one) Chicago Blackhawks- Thibault (although the great Steve Passmore is tempting) Colorado Avalanche- Roy Columbus Bluejackets- Denis (this is tough it could change to Mason depending on this upcoming season) Dallas Stars- Belfour Detroit Red Wings- Osgood Edmonton Oilers- Will probably have to go vintage and go Fuhr Florida Panthers- Beezer LA Kings- Potvin Minnesota Wild- Roloson Montreal Canadiens- Theodore Nashville Predators- Vokoun New Jersey Devils- Brodeur New York Islanders- Salo (I already have an Osgood  )New York Rangers- Richter or Lundqvist Ottawa Senators- Lalime Philadelphia Flyers- Hextall Phoenix Coyotes- Khabibulin Pittsburgh Penguins- Barrasso St. Louis Blues- Turek San Jose Sharks- Nabokov or Shields Tampa Bay Lightning- Puppa Toronto Maple Leafs- Cujo Vancouver Canucks- McClean Washington Capitals- Kolzig Really let me know what you think |

I think Khabibulin would be Tampa's most memorable goalie. He could also qualify as Phoenix's (which you have him listed at) but some would also say Bryzgalov for the Coyotes.
Also Luongo could qualify for either Florida or Vancouver but it is hard to go against Beezer for the Panthers since he was the goalie on their run to the Cup Finals. The Hurricanes argument (or discussion) could go either Irbe or Ward. Irbe, Kevin Weekes, and Ward have all had pretty good seasons for the Hurricanes, but your project was for the "most memorable" and most fans will remember who was the goalie who led them to a Cup Victory. -------------------- |

Cool idea. These are my choices.
I've mostly gone with goalies that I most attribute to that team and that teams success (eg Finals), but without using the same goalie twice. Anaheim Ducks- Giguere 02/03 (Finals Patch) Atlanta Thrashers- Lehtonen Boston Bruins- Thomas 08/09 (Vezina Winner) Buffalo Sabres- Hasek 98/99 (Finals Patch) Calgary Flames- Kiprusoff 03/04 (Finals Patch) Carolina Hurricanes- Ward 05/06 (Finals Patch) Chicago Blackhawks- Belfour Colorado Avalanche- Roy 95/96 (Finals Patch) Columbus Bluejackets- Leclaire Dallas Stars- Turco Detroit Red Wings- Vernon 06/07 (Finals Patch) Edmonton Oilers- Roloson 05/06 (Finals Patch) Florida Panthers- Vanbiesbrouck 95/96 (Finals Patch) LA Kings- Hrudey (maybe, I'm not sure on this one) Minnesota Wild- Backstrom Montreal Canadiens- Theodore Nashville Predators- Vokoun New Jersey Devils- Brodeur 02/03 (Finals Patch) New York Islanders- DiPietro New York Rangers- Richter 93/94 (Finals Patch) Ottawa Senators- Emery 06/07 (Finals Patch) Philadelphia Flyers- Hextall Phoenix Coyotes- Bryzgalov (Would have gone with Khabibulin, had he not won the cup with TB) Pittsburgh Penguins- Barrasso St. Louis Blues- Joseph San Jose Sharks- Nabokov Tampa Bay Lightning- Khabibulin 03/04 (Finals Patch) Toronto Maple Leafs- Potvin Vancouver Canucks- Luongo Washington Capitals- Kolzig |

Slime's list is really good.
Barasso qualifies for a 1992 Cup Finals patch along with the Pens 25th and the Badger Bob patch. Belfour would also get a 1992 Cup Finals patch too. Oliers - Grant Fuhr with 1990 Finals patch. I can see going with Andy Moog for Boston, which also qualifies for a 1990 Cup Finals patch, but still think Gerry Cheevers takes it easily. It's pretty hard to not go with Roy on a Canadiens jersey. That gets you French 1993 Finals patch too. Islanders? Uh, Billy Smith. Silly kids. Ottawa? You can't go with Emery. You just can't. Perhaps that one is best left for later on. You left out the Minnesota North Stars and Gump Worsley. Or perhaps Gilles Meloche. Heck do one of each with the different styles they wore during their eras. --------------------  Click here to read Third String Goalie - The Hockey Jersey of the Day Blog!

Sheesh, why not just have Dan Cloutier for every team he's played for (Rangers, Canucks, Tampa, LA)   Seriously, as a goalie fan myself I think this is a great idea. I agree with others that for the 'Canes you have to go with Ward over Irbe. If you want an Irbe jersey, go with San Jose (although I prefer Nabokov there) --------------------  |

I think for Carolina you should go with Cam Ward instead of Arturs Irbe. He did lead the 'Canes to their first ever Stanley Cup championship for the Whalers / Hurricanes franchise. And it was during his rookie year. Ward was the first goalie to do it since Patrick Roy did it in 1986.
I know you have a couple goalies for the Sharks, but think about Irbe for them. The Sharks were his first NHL team and since the Sharks were a new expansion then, I think it would be pretty cool to have a vintage Sharks Irbe jersey, mostly because many NHL fans forget his name and only think of the current San Jose goalie - Nabokov. Remember, Irbe was called "Archie" and nicknamed "The Wall." --------------------      Looking for these jerseys: 1.

Everyone's comments are duly noted, now let me explain a few of my choices, also I am keeping this sort of modern, as I realize who the greatest of all time are for most teams, but due to the difficulty in getting old jerseys I will keep this fairly modern.
Potvin for LA mainly due to him causing Ozzie to get run out of town in 2001, also I really liked those jerseys with IMO the coolest all star patch and the AM patch Cujo is a tough one because I feel he was amazing with Edmonton, St. Louis, and Toronto but due to my young age he was always a Leaf in my eyes Chicago I understand everyone wanting Belfour, but again due to my age I view him as a Star and he won a cup with them, and I know he did lead Chicago to the finals, and will likely get a Blackhawks Belfour jersey Tampa, I have decided to go with Khabi as he did win the cup and for Phoenix will switch kHabi to Burke and get a 2000 patch on hopefully the alternate Carolina, I really did expect this disagreement to come up, but in my mind Irbe help put Carolina on the map. Roy, this is tough one, as he is obviously the choice for Montreal and Colorado, but to me Colorado doesn't have anyone else. Oh and a Nurminen would be epic, I might have to do that one. |

For the Capitals Kolzig is a great choice since you can use the Eagle/Dome era jersey or the Edge 1.0 jersey. If you want an old school jersey then you can't go wrong with Don Beaupre, Pete Peters, or Bob Mason. If you are looking for unique and rare, Jim Carey would be an interesting choice. If it were me, I would get Semyon Varlamov because I'm convince that the kid is going to be the next great goaltender.

Actually when I think about the kings in the time period of 95-99 the name that comes to mind is Stephane Fiset, I always remember the Wings never winning against him, but I was 9 then so maybe I am just hazy.

I remember Fiset, as well, i think he was a king after his stint with the Nords? Anyway, Storr had perrenial better numbers and actually had a decent career. -------------------- |
