Sawchuk vs. Brodeur…An Interesting Comparison
I always fingers on my kids and stick them in front of the TV when something spectacular is about to happen in sports so that some day they can tell their kids “I watched Wayne Gretzky take part in his last game” or “I watched Tiger beat Jack’s major championship record”. I advised of that last one hasn’t happened yet, but you can bet that my entire family will be watching when it does. I’ve always thought that we live in a very rousing time for sports figures. Orr, Favre, Jordan, Tiger, Gretzky…
If you think about it, it’s exceedingly quite incredible.
As a result, I have always thought there were a handful of records in the NHL that I assumed would never be challenged. Gretzky’s 92 ambition season or 215 point season, Selanne’s most goals as a rookie with 76, a little known goalie named Sam LoPresti’s archives of stopping 80 shots in one game. Yes, it was only 3 periods (against the Bruins, of course) and no, he didn’t action for Toronto…it was Chicago, actually. The other big record that I never thought I would see fall is Terry Sawchuk’s 103 occupation shutouts, and yet Martin Brodeur is set to break it over the course of the next few weeks or months.
When I first heard how proximate he was, I have to admit that I was skeptical about the comparison. You know, I thought Sawchuk had played far fewer games than Brodeur…as a matter of fact only 35 to date. That’s not a very big gap, so I compared the rest of the stats trying to find where Brodeur would fall small and Sawchuk would be far and away, the better goaltender. Feeling somewhat enlightened, let me share with you my findings;
Seasons Played – Brodeur 17/ Sawchuk 21
Minutes Played – Brodeur 59,448 min/ Sawchuk 57,194 min
Goals Against So so – Brodeur 2.21/ Sawchuk 2.51
Wins – Brodeur 561/ Sawchuk 447
Some other key differences are certainly, the size of the pads in today’s game. In comparison, the goalies that play today would look more like lacrosse goalies if put beside goalies of the 60’s (not to make known Sawchuk played without a mask until the 1962/63 season with just 8 seasons remaining in his life's work). In Brodeur’s defense, today’s players are bigger, faster and shoot harder. The tournament is quite different now in some aspects.
