Longest Playing Goalies

I was browsing Hockey-Reference.com today, and I thought to myself, what's the longest amount of time anyone's played in goal? As the fine folks at hockey-reference.com keep track of playing time in minutes, I'd figure I'd just look it up. Unfortunately, they didn't have a page set up with that information already, so I looked at who had played the most time and then add it up myself. I included regular season and playoff minutes, so let's take a look:

Name	Season	Playoffs	Total time played
Patrick Roy	60,235	15,209	52 days, 9 hours, 24 minutes
Martin Brodeur:	57 208	10 522	47 days, 50 minutes
Ed Belfour	55 695	9 945	45 days, 14 hours
Terry Sawchuck	57 194	6 290	44 days, 2 hours, 4 minutes
Curtis Joseph	53 213	8 106	42 days, 13 hours, 59 minutes

So there you have it, folks: Patrick Roy is the longest-playing Goalie in the NHL, ever. Also, HR doesn't sort by minutes played.

Also, the draft is happening this weekend...Neither the Bruins or Wild had very good picks (I care a lot about that division title now...vomit.) I didn't watch it last night, and I'll be reading other blog's coverage, but the whole thing doesn't have me refreshing NHL.com every minute for updates. Besides, Netherlands plays Russia at 2:45!
