And 20 years from now people will look at videos of Mikka Kipprusoff and scoff and shake their heads at what a bum he was, and how funny it is that useless scrubs like him actually got paid to play in the NHL.
I don't see the point in comparing athletes from different eras like that. Yeah, goalies weren't as athletic or well-trained as they are today. Nobody was. There are sprinters today at obscure U.S. colleges who run faster than Jesse Owens did when he won gold at the Olympics. Doesn't make Jesse Owens a useless slug. If Owens had the same training regimen and coaching that today's sprinters have, he would have been faster.
