NHL Network has ranked the Top 40 goaltenders of all time. The list is already catching flak from a number of sources, primarily because it’s putting some active goaltenders at lofty positions, ahead of some legends of the game. And, as always, the debate is circling around Jonathan Quick.
Why? See for yourself. Quick comes in at #16 on the list.

One spot ahead of Henrik, eight spots ahead of Price, nine spots ahead of Rogie, and ahead of guys like Gump Worsley, Billy Smith, and Ron Hextall. This made folks angry, and I think that’s great, because my favorite part of rooting for Jonathan Quick is watching people get angry when he earns praise.
