Mike Richter

The best American-born goalie of all time.

Great video! He was my absolute favourite goalie growing up. His lateral movement and flexibility made him so much fun to watch

Hometown hero from Flourtown PA. I play at WSC where he grew up playing. Cool to see his name painted on the walls there.

After watching Shesterkin carry the torch for Hank,I forgot just how awesome Richter was

[@matts6551]

Carry the torch for Hank? What torch, the torch of blowing in the playoffs 12 or 15 seasons? Igor is in a completely different league than Lundqvist, he’s in the league of Mike Richters

[@jonathanbeatrice8317]

@@matts6551 How many Stanley Cups did Hank win? Igor is still 28 years old.

[@chiefobeef]

Other than maybe Montreal, is ther any oher NHL franchise that has been as lucky at this position as the New York Rangers. You go from Richter / Vanbiesbrook to Lundqvist to Shesterkin. Not to mention the amazing backup guys the Rangers have had like Cam Talbot, Anti Raanta etc. etc. Benoit Allaire is a god.

[@matts6551]

I don’t know if I call it lucky having Lundquist on your team for 15 years and having it amount to nothing other than winning one game in one Stanley Cup final appearance.

Winning Goalie of the 1994 New York Oilers Cup Champs lol

[@matts6551]

The last great goaltender for the New York Rangers before Igor.

Ritchter for sure was an excellent netminder. But, greatest american keeper of all time??? You must have overlooked Tom Barrasso.
