I’ve known this for a long time, but was able to brush most of it off. Now things seem to have hit a feverish pitch with the ridiculousness of the goaltending battle that goes on among fans.
It’s nothing new. People have fond memories, but as beloved as Curtis Joseph was, there was a vocal section of the fan base that got tired of him rather quickly. The claim was he choked in the playoffs, which while true to a point was still a bit harsh. People wanted Guy Hebert, a goaltender that amounted to very little in his career, to get a shot.
