The Toronto Maple Leafs made news this week when ex-goalie Curtis Joseph was once again denied entry into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Joseph’s exclusion got me thinking about who the best goalies in Toronto Maple Leafs history are.

Johnny Bower, Mike Palmateer, Turk Broda, no doubt.

And who could forget about Good Old Lorne Chabot or “Scary” Harry Lumley?

There is Bruce Gamble, Ed Chadwick and Chris “Turkey Shoot” Carver (OK, I made that one up, but the Leafs are 100 years old, if I didn’t tell you, how would you even know?).

The point is, there are a lot of goalies in 100 years of history.

Al Rollins, Jaques Plante, Wayne Thomas, and Don Beaupre to name a few.

There are too many to rank historically, and plus, most of those guys I’ve never heard of, let alone seen play.

Therefore, what I thought would be interesting would be to rank the best Toronto Maple Leafs goalies since the 1990s.

With classic Leafs goalies like Jeff Reese, Alen Bester, Vesa Toskala and Andrew Raycroft, how can you go wrong?

Right?

Here then, are your 10 best goalies since the 90, however, before we get to the countdown we have to get to know who is eligible.
