Worst Goalies in NHL History #2

Back up popular demand the worst goalies in NHL history 2. Unlike the original article  http://corbyshockeycentral.blogspot.ca/2011/04/who-is-nhls-worst-ever-goaltender.html these four netminders had allot more brief careers in the NHL; an average of 2 season per goalie.

Michel Belhumeur started his career decently with the Philadelphia Flyers going 9-7-3 with a respectable 3.22 g.a.a. He unfortunately was then claimed by the expansion Washington Capitals. He went onto to play 42 times for the Capitals going 0-29-4; in his two seasons he had a 5.36 & 5.09 g.a.a. He completed his career spending 4 years in the minors; never to have a better g.a.a. than 3.56


Gary Laskoski played 5 years in hockey. His first two years he played college hockey with the St.Lawerence University; he signed then as a free agent with the LA Kings in 1982. In the 82-83 season he has alright going 15-20-4 with a 4.56 g.a.a and 857%. But the following season 83-84 he went 4-7-1 with a 4.96 g.a.a. and a horrifying 829%. The same year he was then sent down to the AHL after that accumulating a 4.94 g.a.a. He was never heard from in hockey after that year.

Going back over 70 years ago, there was a goalie for the New York Rangers name Ken McAuley. He struggled in his rookie season going 6-39-5 with a startling 6.24 g.a.a In his 2nd season with the Rangers it was slightly better going 11-25-10 with a 4.93 g.a.a.

More recently veteran Finnish goalie Jarmo Myllys played 16 seasons in the Finnish Elite League. In between his two stops had a couple of brief stints with the North Stars and a half season with the San Jose Sharks. His NHL numbers were some of the worst of all time; going 4-27-1 with a less-than sparkling 5.23 g.a.a  and a 859%.
