Addressing the question Who are the greatest hockey goalies of all time this book consults with an all-star lineup of experts just as impressive as the icemen selected. Indeed, the book just might end the debate once and for all. A provocative list of the best goalies ever is provided and the book casts a critical eye, providing incisive evaluations of each goalie. The commentary by luminaries such as Gordie Howe, Dino Ciccarelli, Brett Hull, and others provides the equally compelling perspective of those who tried to score against them. Not only are the greatest simply listed, they are also rank in order, providing a definitive source to settle arguments among hockey fans of all ages.
