Hello everyone, I'm back again with my latest addition to the goaltending museum.

Today's piece is a beautiful rare 1991-92 season Quebec Nordiques away jersey featuring the desired 75th anniversary NHL patch on the right breast. The jersey was worn by goaltender John P. Tanner during his call-up by the Nordiques in the latter half of the 1991-92 season. This jersey was game-worn in 8 games, including John Tanner's final game in the NHL. In total, the jersey was worn against Calgary, Philadelphia, Montreal, Pittsburgh (x2), Hartford, Buffalo, and Toronto and faced a total barrage of 229 shots, stopping a total of 200 shots. The final game in which this was worn was Tanner's last game on March 19, 1992 against the Pittsburgh Penguins where he appeared in relief of Stephane Fiset for a period of 31 minutes. Wearing this jersey, Tanner recorded a 0-4-2 record.

In his NHL career, John Tanner played exclusievely for the Nordiques from 1989/90 to 1991-92, appearing in 21 total NHL games and recording a 2-11-5 record with one shutout, a 3.60 GAA, and a 0.883% save average.

Sure he did not win Stanley Cups or play 500+ games in the league, but to say he isn't to be remembered is ignorant. In the grand scheme of things, every goalie to ever make the big-time is a miracle since so few have appeared in the NHL's history in comparison to regular players.

Now for the pictures!

Thanks for all of the comment everyone! Nordiques jerseys are quite nice, the blue is a little uninspiring and reminds me of my blanket, but otherwise, it is a nice jersey.

You, sir, possess the correct attitude that I hope to further with the museum. The history of goaltending is not just Brodeur, Roy, Belfour, Sawchuk, Vezina, Plante, Hall, like so many seem to think.

The little guys all paid their dividends and made their way to the show, the toughest position to make the show with. Ray LeBlanc, Dieter Kochan, Gregg Naumenko, Alain Raymond, Tyler Weiman, Don Aiken, Gary Bauman, etc. all deserve their names to be recognized. The smallest twig is still a part of the tree is it not?

You are correct. The mere fact that these guys even got 1 second in a game is an honor. I don't know one goalie, including myself, who would not give a kidney, arm...you can name a body part here, to be able to say they had that opportunity.
