Is that right? Wow. It’s got to be almost 20 years since Arturs Irbe hung them up
As of last year, the shortest guy was 6’0”, and average was 6’3”
Edit: just saw your update and noticed that the guy playing is 6’0”. Even that is short now.

As of the time of the article :

The tallest goalie in the NHL today is Ben Bishop of the Dallas Stars, measuring in at a whopping 6'7". (That's a far cry from the older days of the NHL that had goaltenders like John Vanbiesbrouck who was 5'9" or Gump Worsley who was only 5'7".)
The shortest goaltender right now is Casey DeSmith of the Pittsburgh Penguins who is 6'0".

He was the only guy 6’0” even, and the 4 guys who were 6’1” are mostly getting long in the tooth (Lundqvist, Quick, Hutton, Howard)
