Possibly the greatest goaltender of all time -- he holds the NHL career marks for regular-season (551) and postseason (151) wins, and playoff shutouts (23) among others -- the fiesty Québec native who popularized the butterfly style won the Conn Smythe and the Cup in his first full season with Montreal (1985-86) . Earning the nickname of St. Patrick, he again led the Habs to the Cup in '93, garnering the Smythe. After 11 seasons in Montreal, he left for Colorado after a bitter falling out, but was welcomed back this season to have his number retired.
