He doesn’t have hardware? Maybe cuz some guys named Hasek, Roy and Brodeur played At the same time.
He played on many awful teams who only achieved noteworthy things because he was their goalie.
Vernon has four trips to the Finals and two rings. #### you that’s not a hall of fame career. What else do you want him to do.
Giguere has a Conn Smythe in defeat and a championship. That’s not worth remembering? His Conn Smythe game tape is some of the most memorable net minding of the 21st century.
Tim Thomas has 2 Vezinas and a chip. Put him in, I don’t care if he only did it for six or seven years.
Chris Osgood. All Chris Osgood ever did was win. His playoff save percentage the last two years against the Crosby Penguins was never below
.926, and the year he won his GAA was 1.55! Chris Osgood was a gamer who wasn’t going to lose you the game, and would keep you in your share of them.
Fleury has a better career save percentage than Brodeur, the same career GAA as Roy, and he’s 3rd all time in wins. He’s a former 1st overall pick with three rings who’s been to three Finals as a starter on two different teams.
If that’s not a Hall of Famer to you, you do better.

Since 1980 only Fuhr, Roy, Brodeur, and Billy Smith I believe have been to the finals 4 or more times as a goalie.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
