It’s easier to compare goalies from the same generation. It’s just so hard to compare generations with different variables. Hypothetically, if Roy won half those ties, he would’ve finished with over 600 wins. For comparison, Roy has 551 wins (second all time), but 131 ties. You’re already seeing it now, with Luongo, Lundqvist and Fleury all about to be on the Top 10 list for Most Wins in NHL history. ![]() When it comes to goalies, the newer generation currently plays in the no-tie era, which means, that in time, the next crop of great goalies will soon surpass the win totals of the goalies of the past. However, the current generation will also have the least chance at winning championships, due to expansion, salary caps and watered down teammates. With each passing generation, the current generation will always have the greatest advantage when it comes to scouting, nutrition, training, healing and film study. While changes occur in every sport, it is in my opinion, that hockey, at least in its NHL presentation, has changed more than the other professional sport leagues in North America, especially when it comes to stats. What many of these lists, if not all of them, fail to mention, is how much hockey changes from one generation to the next. There have been countless “TOP 10 NHL GOALIES OF ALL TIME” lists put out there in the media, whether it be the NHL Network, ESPN, TSN, The Hockey Writers, Joe Blow’s Blog, or where ever else you get hockey news/opinions from.

Ironically, on the Rangers search for a new head coach, I was openly questioning if Roy would be considered for the job, back on February 21st.

If he's going to be doing the trade talks, he better get a crash course in a hurry - the offseason isn't far away.Patrick Roy’s father spent 500+ pages singing the praises of his son. But he also admitted in his news conference on Tuesday that he hasn't kept up with the NHL as much as a lot of people expect.
