Building The Perfect Goaltender

10/20/2015 at 11:01am EDT

from Kevin Weekes at NHL.com,

People always ask me who the best goalie is of all time. My immediate answer would be Martin Brodeur or Dominik Hasek. But I'm a creative guy so I like to get creative.

That being said, this would be my ultimate goalie:

Puck handling: Martin Brodeur

His ability to lead a forecheck by himself was incredible. His puck-handling was so good that they had to create a rule to curb his ability to handle the puck. Brodeur had two goals and 45 career assists during the regular season and had a goal and 13 points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Glove hand: Grant Fuhr

Fuhr was such a unique player because he caught with his right hand. Not only did that present a different look for shooters, but he would bait shooters into shooting there and then make jaw-dropping, windmill glove saves. Nobody made a glove save like Grant Fuhr.
