In the golden age of hockey, the net was a place of grace, agility and innovation. Goaltenders deflected and blocked with creativity, stickhandled with bold strokes and fearlessly faced a puck travelling at speeds of 100 miles an hour. And they took a beating. Some of these stars made their saves before the mask; others got their shut-outs without padded blockers or trappers. This is an exhilarating chronicle of the quiet guardians of the crease.

Top-ranked NHL teams tend to be those with top-ranked goalies and a look back at the Stanley Cup champions of hockey history quickly proves the conventional wisdom. Great Goalies of the NHL profiles some of the most outstanding netminders the game has ever seen: Jacques Plante, who pioneered use of the goalie mask while minding net for the dynasty Montreal Canadiens that won 5 Stanley Cups in a row; Ken Dryden, another Canadiens goaltender who backstopped the team to six Stanley Cup victories; Glenn Hall, who still holds the record for most consecutive NHL games played by a goalie; Patrick Roy, known as Saint Patrick to his fans, widely regarded as the greatest goaltender of all time; such superstar stoppers as Terry Sawchuk, Grant Fuhr, Johnny Bower, Martin Brodeur, and more.
