He obviously had some insane longevity and a great cast around him, hence being the all time leader in wins. But he has no Conn Smythes, didn’t win any Vezinas until Hasek left Buffalo and never won the Hart. To me it’s hard to justify putting Marty over Hasek or Roy. I say 3rd

Goat there is literally new paint on the ice because of him. His play literally changed the rules that’s how good he was.
Probably 3, behind Roy and Hasek
Just my opinion, but Brodeur should have won the Conn Smythe in 2003. 7 SOs, including 3 in the Finals.
He’s definitely on my Mt. Rushmore of goalies. Patrick Roy, Dominik Hasek, and Jacques Plante are there too.
Very, very high.
Number 1 his stats are higher than Roy over a longer career and Hasek has better stats but played 547 less games

Found Sean Avery’s reddit account
SA called him ‘fatso’ 🤣
Top 3 – All-time
Top 5 for me. As a Flyers fan, he was always killing us.
S tier and it’s too tight between those guys
Marty has almost every record, a trio of cups, and radically changed the sport while being more traditional than most of his peers
Stats wise Hasek is the clear #1 especially when you account his teams
Top 3 with Hasek and Roy.
Number 1 is a tough question.
It’s wild to think Brodeur, Roy, and Hasek were contemporaries.
1
Modern era…brodeur, roy, hasek.
Number one to me.
In the top 3 with Hasek and Roy. I think picking the top 3 from there is all debatable and super close regardless.
1 of course
#1
Certainly Top 3 imo, alongside Roy and Hasek
The Tippy-Top.
Uno
Way up there
He is the top goalie of all time
He’s my favorite. #1. The GOAT.
Best goalie of all time no argument
Brodeur
Roy
Richter
Hextall
Hasek
Belfour
GOAT.
Records don’t lie.
#1
Arguably best goalie of all time. Not really sure what else needs to be said lol
GOAT, obviously.
🐐 #1
Marty is among the greatest hockey players in the sport, not just the position.
There is a clear demarcation in hockey history where the goaltending changed for the better. That is 1984 with Patrick Roy. Once his style of playing the position caught on, it became incrementally more difficult to score.
Hasek is an outlier due to his incredibly unorthodox style.
Brodeur was one of many all-star caliber goalies that played in the 90s through 00s that played a very solid butterfly hybrid style. Broduer gets the nod ahead of the likes of Belfour, Richter, Joseph, etc. for a few reasons, elite puck handling skills, longevity, and the NJ defense first, neutral zone trap teams he played on.
That’s my 1, 2 ,3.
You can’t really compare goalies from 70s, 60s, and 50s. Because then you are bringing in Dryden, Parent, Cheever, Plante, Bower, etc. to the conversation, and that just mucks it up even more.
No one sounds sillier than the Brodeur haters 🤡
1st. GOAT. Clearly
I have to put him at #1 on my list and I’m a Rangers fan, you can argue that it was all style of play or the team that was in front of him but it’s not like you could put any other goalie in net for that franchise and they would be just as good.
#1 They had to implement rules bc of him, he literally changed the game!
It’s Marty, Patty, and Dom.
Brodeur scored the most goals.
