Let's start a list of all the interesting combos over the years.

One combo per post. Can't go two posts in a row. Could be fun. Doesn't have to be the best, just memorable.

I'll start. I'm going to the mid sixties/ seventies with the Rangers Eddie Giacomin and Gilles Villemure Both very capable goalies with two opposite styles.

    1965 Boston Bruins

    Bernie Parent / Gerry Cheevers

    Bernie was sensational in the postseason and regular season. Cheevers was just a joy to watch. Plante came out of his net a lot, and gave his coaches fits when he did, but Cheevers took it to another level, skating up to near the blue line to challenge the opposition on breakaways or loose pucks. Plus, there just hasn't been a better mask in the NHL, ever.

    71-71 Minnesota North Stars

    Cesare Maniago / Gump Worsley

    Worsley (played without a mask) and stopped .933% of the shots. One of the best nic-names ever "The Gumper"!

    Cesare also had a great name, he stopped .920% of the shots that year.

    I can still hear Star's radio announcer Al Shaver yelling "OH MANIAGO!" after a big save.

    Good times

    I'll take some low hanging fruit

    The great Islander run featured goalies that basically split time.

    Chico Resch and Billy Smith. What a one two punch
