Sabres' Greatest Goalies: Hasek, Miller, Barrasso

0:00It's April 1st. This is NHL News Today Team News, powered by AI. Buffalo Sabre Spans know the teams always been blessed and knit, with a lineup of elite goalies over the years. Today, we're breaking down the top three greatest to ever man. The crease for the blue and gold, Dominic Hasic, Ryan Miller, and Tom Barrasso. These dudes carried teams deep into playoffs and stacked hardware, like bazinas and hearts. Hasic, the Dominator, ruled from 1992 to 2001, playing 491 games with 234 wins, A, 0.926 safe percentage, and a 2.22 goals against average. He snagged six vizina trophies, six all-star nods, and two heart MVP's. His exit was messy after a playoff heartbreaker, but the Sabres retired his number and inducted him into their Hall of Fame. Ryan Miller stepped up as the franchise face for 11 years, starting full time in 2005-6. In 540 games, he notched 284 wins, a 0.916 safe clip, and 2.60 goals against.

1:05His peak was 2009-10, with a vizina and Olympic MVP silver for Team USA. Miller kept average squads competitive and spoke his mind, till his tray to St. Louis ended that era. Barrasso edges out the competition for third, drafted fifth overall in 1983, straight out of high school. As an 18-year-old rookie, he won the vizina and calder, the youngest ever. Over 266 games in six seasons, he had 124 wins in a high-scoring era. His vizina year featured a 0.89. The reset percentage that was elite back then, he got traded to Pittsburgh for some firepower. Shout out to honorable mentions Bob Sov and Don Edwards, both vizina winners too. Sabre's history screams top shelf goal-tending fueling playoff runs, and as they hunt the next crease king, expect that tradition to keep delivering big, stops and deeper springs.
