I heard Ted Lindsey say once that you could throw a handful of rice at Terry Sawchuk and he would stop or catch every grain. That’s incredible. God Bless Terry Sawchuk.
He looked so good in that Red Wing sweater He'll live on forever we'll never forget Terry in Detroit He'd still be top goalie in the league today tracking the puck all over the ice the way he did through the forwards and defencemen Well before my time but who wouldn't want to be on this guys team A legend Him and Bower together in Toronto No wonder they won it all Last time the Leafs won the cup 67' Thanks for sharing your story Grapes Bernier stopped 50 plus shots against Dallas on saturday. Would have put a smile on Sawchuks face. I know you know what goaltending brings to the hockey team And I know no one is watching Detroit but we've had lots of guys develop and grow this season as young players and we are trimming the fat. Don't be surprised to see us back in the thick of it next year. Like the way Columbus did it. Lunch pails in hand I'm not afraid to say it because it's there I know The Wings are near and dear to your heart Don. I remember Stevie Y thinking of you and Rose the night he won the cup. Class all the way. A good Canadian boy! We want to make you proud Don Go Wings Go!
I agree. The talent pool was loaded. Put it this way , Johnny Bower , The great Toronto Goalie , played in the minors for 12 years before the NHL. Came up at 33 years old and proceeded to win 4 Stanley Cups and retired at 45 years old. The minor leagues then , were tougher than some NHL Teams now. For sure.
Sawchuk had 95% of his Shutouts against Original 6 teams. All of em at one time or another we’re powerhouses. He shut out guys like Richard, Beliveau Hull , Geoffrion , Mahovlich , just to name a few. Marty Brodeur played against a lot of weak teams due to expansion and basically a thinned out talent pool. Not to mention Sawchuk played half his career injured. Inferior goalie equipment in his time. I think the league as a whole was a lot tougher. Only so many roster spots to be had. Goalie competition was fierce. That’s why the AHL In the 40s and Fifty’s was a great league. A lot of NHL Caliber players. One example was John Bower who didn’t come to the NHL until he was 33. He was Sawchuks fellow goalie on the 67 Maple Leafs Cup Winning Team. Ironically that was the Last time the leafs won the Cup. Kinda funny.
Right on ... I was cheering for him and The Leafs when I was a kid. Listened on the radio. 😊😉🙃👍
Sawchuk > Campbell

For me the Red Wings have 2 GOATS. Howe overall and Sawchuk in net. And I'm not a Red Wings fan.
Thank you Don nice words God Bless YUK
The best
Indeed
Possibly the greatest goalie ever!
not possibly,... but THE greatest goaltender ever
Gosh I remember Bobby Hull ,one of my all time faves ,when he shot, missed the goal and broke the glass behind it😳
Too bad he beat the shit out of his wife

Manitoba has produced some amazing goalies.
Held that shutout record forever
@Projekt Kobra And the, Two line pass regulation. (Not to mention the Devil's unwatchable neutral zone trap. Effective. Legal. Boring...
