- He had a long career, but he never played in the Finals. He may not get into the real hall of fame, but he qualifies for mine.

Cujo was a playoff beast.
phatmemes Except when he played in Detroit.
Cody Heimbach Even in Detroit he wasn’t bad. Just got almost no goal support.
One of my fav goalies ever. Definitely a hall of fame goalie, one of the best clutch goalies in NHL history. I fully agree, you said this in another video, played better when faced with more shots, 100% pure clutch goalie... As a Leaf fan one of my fav goalies ever. I believe he was signed un-drafted straight out of high school.
He was in university when he signed with the Blues.
Backyard Hockey 2002 Legend Curtis Joseph
I had a Cujo poster in my bedroom as a kid …. I was a Toronto baby raised in Ohio, and watching the Leafs was my family’s way of holding on to our Canadian/Toronto heritage 💙🍁
He was at a pub in Hamilton once when the Leafs were training at (then called) Copps Coliseum where I happened to be with some friends, and people were approaching him & he was SOOOOOO nice & bought drinks for people & was just a really cool guy. I loved him anyway as a goalie, & that just made me love him as a person, too. One of the best. 👍 ALSO, thank you for specifying that Keenan didn't actually have a hook for a hand...🙄🤣🤣🤣
A lot good memories of Joseph. Even some good ones when I played the NHL video games and he was my goaltender. Clutch in real life and virtually too.
I remember getting khabibulin too in the games, fun times indeed!
As a blues fan I remember Cujo playing exceptional top notch goaltending against the Blackhawks in the 1993 playoffs a four game sweep. best I ever seen a blues goalie play in a playoff series.
As a Blackhawks fan 10 year old me was not happy about that performance. Later on I grew to like CuJo.
My favorite player all time :)
He made me a Leafs fan, had so much great moment because of his work. On and off the ice a great guy!
Nothing but love for CuJo!!!
I've been a blues fan for 30 years. Mike Keenan ruined my childhood...
I agree. Poster of the video nailed it on the Keenan angle.
One of my favorite players growing up, love him!
I remember his sick save in the intro for nhl 98. Cujo was amazing
He was a beast!
I just realized it was nhl 99 whoops.
@@siamesedreams1991 'Great save Joseph!'
I remember well, watching the semi final Campbell conference of 1991. Most shots on goal ever, at that time. Minnesota made one more shot, and advanced. Fell in love with Cujo that night.
Curtis Joseph made a career of facing shots and making huge clutch saves which is why his highlight-reel is longer than most goalies. Considering his childhood and the adversity he faced, and the fact that he did not pick up a hockey stick until decades later than most people who played hockey, he really was an outstanding goaltender and he definitely deserves the Hall of Fame. But I could not agree with you more, I really and truly have always thought that having a lack of shots in Detroit really killed him. I didn't start following hockey until freshman in high school when I hung out with a bunch of friends who always talks sports. I knew nothing about hockey but I changed that because I wanted to talk to my friends about the sport and the very first person that I saw on the San Diego Union-Tribune as I began memorizing names was Curtis Joseph. I have been a fan ever since. Thanks for all the complimentary things that you said
I am a hardcore Dallas fan and the heartache I remember CuJo giving us in the pre "99 playoff years was mind numbing. After the anger settled though; CuJo really was one of the best goalies of all time in my opinion (and my TV goalie mentor playing :)). I played high school hockey in Dallas (not easy to find back then) a little college hockey and can't wait to play adult goalie in a rec league some time soon. CuJo has my life long respect as a Elite NHL goalie.
Cujo was a fan fav in AZ when he came, I believe he won the Team MVP in that first year.
YESSSSSSS!!!!! Cujo!!
Cujo was the reason I wanted to play goalie in floor hockey all the time when I was a kid
That 05-06 season was the year of the pad changes among other rules to increase scoring. He was really nice to fans too. I met him at a hockey camp in Saint Louis in my youth.
Heck yeah my favorite goalie ever. LONG LIVE CUJO!
David Briar If you ever meet him ask him about his old dog Teddy bear and watch the colour drain from his face.
Lol why?
David Briar I used to live beside his sister in Keswick. She had to rescue a sheepdog from him after he tried to beat it to death with a goalie stick. The dogs name was teddy bear.
Wow how old was he?
David Briar I was 10 at the time so he was about 20.
And a Curtis Joseph video! Nice
Next Ed Belfour and Felix Potvan
Cujo was the reason I became a goalie. As you said, he was beloved in STL. Keenan ruined the Blues, and fans never forgave the old owner's for bringing him in. Absolute power corrupted absolutely, wherever Keenan went.
Cujo DOES belong in HoF, even without a Cup win.
Cujo was a treat to watch - incredible athlete in the net. Carried the Leafs for many nights and carried them by Ottawa a couple times! One of the greatest masks and nicknames too! Love Cujo
I've been working all of the hours so just getting caught up. Just saw this video and had to say CUJO! I always signed him on every hockey game
Great video as always!
Please do a video on Rod Langway, he played high school hockey near me in Massachusetts, I always considered this guy to be under rated
Terrific reason and analysis!
i became a fan of Cujo in 92 playoffs if i remember correctly, if not in 93 and was the reason why i became a fan of St Louis. Cujo in the playoffs was nuts!!
.910 is a great save pct for the early 90s. Hell, if you could break .900 before ‘95, you were a solid regular season goalie. I remember St Louis was a scary team in the early 90s for the Canucks and Cujo was a big reason why. I remember he was first star in a game against Vancouver - in a 4-3 Canucks win called by Hughson on TSN. Joseph gave his team a chance even when they didn’t earn it. The guy was the victim of playing on teams that weren’t good enough and by the time he got to Detroit, he wasn’t the same goalie. Still good enough to make Arizona look half decent, though.
I think he should be in the HHOF, especially since Grant Fuhr is
I just finished reading his book. Love the guy, we share the same birthday April 29
My brother was attending UofT in 2000 and bought me the Leafs Joseph all-star weekend home jersey still have it.
Love Cujo and was so excited he came to Detroit... and then playoffs happened😖
Ask any Blues fan, he will always be a Blues player at heart. Fans despise Keenan for ever trading him. I've had the pleasure of meeting him and he's a top tier great dude that really appreciates the fans and their love of his game. Wish he had more success than he did. And his mask is a top 10 best in NHL history.
I don't despise Keenan for trading him. I despise Kennan for his personality and ego. Bringing in Fuhr and Jon Casey was a great 1-2 combo, Shanahan for Pronger was a great, he bought in Pavol Dimetra. He also trade Phil Housley for Al McGinnis. He made some good trades, just a bad personality.
@@brianlb78 Casey was there with Cujo in the 94-95 season, Fuhr didn't arrive until 95-96. Keenan made more bad moves than good IMO. Keenan is just an awful human all around.
@@TheLastLux I wasn't debating when either goalie was/wasn't there jus stating that bringing Fuhr and Casey was a really good combo. And you can't deny the trades for Pronger, McGinnis, and Demitra where not great either. Those trades set up the Blues D and the base of their scoring for years to come. I do agree that he was a horrible person. People get attached to players emotionally and that is the problem. The Blues had the same core team for a few years before Keenan and it never worked, so he made some changes. The trades he made where great, it was his personality that sucked.
@@brianlb78 He has more hair on his head than he does good transactions for the Blues. Keenan traded Curtis Joseph AND then prospect Mike Grier (1000+ GP, 300+ pts) for Shayne Corson (88 games, 49 career points with the Blues) and eventual draft pick, Marty Reasoner (47 career points with the Blues). This trade alone should have had Keenan kicked out of the NHL. People like to forget that the Pronger for Shanahan trade was a complete dumpster fire at the time. Pronger was struggling to live up to his expectations in Hartford and Shanahan had become a cancer in the locker room while having an affair with Craig Janney's wife. Keenan lucked out that Pronger progressed into the player that he turned out to be and if you ever talk to Pronger, it wasn't because of Keenan's coaching either but rather inspite of him. Other notable doozies - Blues traded Dale Hawerchuk to Philly for Craig MacTavish, Ian Laperriere to NYR for Matteau, 3rd round pick to NJD for aging Essa Tikkanen, Rick Zombo to Boston for Fred Knipscheer (WHO!?). This fraud tricked several teams into giving him a job in the league that it literally baffles me, there's hope for all arm chair GM's that they too, can ruin a franchise with moves that they think would help.
it was very sad when Cujo left Edmonton, and also Weight. The 06 run makes up for it though. Cujo will be a legend in Edm just for that one save, that saved us versus Dallas and then we beat them.
OH MY GOODNESS!
A lot of people saying he was a playoff beast but without googling or finishing this video, I don’t think he ever made it to the third round?
98-99 17 GP and 01-02 20 GP so yes he was.
If you were watching the NHL in the 90’s you’d see him often in ESPN highlights a lot. Almost always he was facing huge numbers of shots, like 40 or more a game.
I don't ever recall him winning a big game in the playoffs as a Leaf.
I like it! How about we get Planet Al in?
It's funny, i know Curtis Joseph mainly from the NHL 01 game, which was my first game i ever had - so i remember him as a damn good goaltender, but looking at the stats apparently that was also kinda his high point statistically. Anyway great goaltender:)
Did you check his GAA and save % in the playoffs for 02-03 and 03-04? The Red Wings offence is what let them down.
competitive goalie-great battles with the hawks and belfour-cujo liked the cash and would pull the pin no probs if team was going no where or not payin'
I feel like CUJO career deserves a redo Hockey Guy!
hey when you do these videos talking about a player and showing their stats over their career, can you put their age in their first and last season, i feel it will help so you know what what age players tend to drop off in production
Detroit was a new environment for Cujo because he was used to facing 30-40 shots a game on any given night, but never got a fair shake from Detroit. The year they got swept by the Ducks he averaged 2 goals a game and a .917 Sv %. Detroit had a $100 million payroll and scored 6 goals in 4 games against an 8th place team, Giguere was playing lights out and a line-up full of HOFers failed to get it done offensively. Somehow that became Cujo's fault. I've never understood it.
Then after the whole Hasek ordeal, he ended up as the starter and in the playoffs had a 1.39 GAA and .939 Sv % which is pretty lights out, but the Wings couldn't score on Kiprusoff, they lost the last two games of that series 1-0... somehow that was Cujo's fault.
Had he been able to go one more year he would have played in 4 different decades too, granted it would have only been October-December of 1989 and January-Probably April of 2010.
I remember him winning the Spengler Cup, I was hoping he could come back to the NHL and find success
He was 40 already when he won the Spengler cup and was hoping to find a job in the NHL.
Sorry to keep commenting about this but since this is one of those specific vids I thought I'd leave it here: Can you please do one of these for Brian Propp?
Detroit hung him out to dry in 2003 and 2004 by not scoring many goals in those playoffs. If they had played up to par, they win the Cup in 2004 at the very least.
Jonathan Zygmunt Agreed. I remember many Detroit fans and even some members of the media blaming him for the loss against the ducks. Was absolutely not his fault. The red wings had something like 7 to 9 future hall of fame players on the team and only scored (If I remember correctly) 5 or 6 goals in 4 games.
Give some credit to the goalie that only let in 5 or 6 goals in those 4 games.
@@jmarx3943 It was 6 goals. And Cujo had a 2.08 GAA.
I was a huge Joseph fan an a big Detroit fan so when he came to Detroit I was extremely excited but it was clear early on he wasn't comfortable facing 5-7 shots a period he needed to be tested early an get a feel of the puck or else he just looked awkward ,nervous and clumsy
But was he the reason Detroit didn't get past the second round in the 2 seasons there?
CUJOOOOOOO Our guard dog of the twine
So, Keenan won the cup for the Rangers, and ends up coaching the Blues the next year?
CuJo was great when he played on subpar teams. Then he goes to the defending champions and crumbles when he's needed most. Rare case.
He was getting old and past his prime.
hopefully cujo goes into the hhof in 2019
Sharp thumbnail!
Cujo the way I remember was lucky in the playoffs... OK there's no such thing as luck. He just didn't quit on the play even when he was way way out of position and he would make leaping saves with the blade of his stick often.
Now if he had a cup he would be in the HoF but he didn't do that.
BUT
The guy's highlight real is unbelievable it really is. The type of saves that he would do was pretty crazy. Look not Hasek crazy mind you but right in line with Roy or Brodeur for sure.
You need to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good.
As a Penguins fan, this video should be linked to everyone clamoring for MA Fleury to be a first ballot HOFer. It is kinda laughable to argue that Fleury should be a lock when someone as good as CUJO is still waiting.
i grew up in st louis. cujo was my all time favorite player.... and i hated Keenan
Loved him in STL the issue is also his playoff performance, yes the stats are good but he could never be counted on to make the big save when needed. And his regular seasons save percentage during the dead puck ever and after where never really that great. He was a good goalie but not a great goalie and the difference between the two are the great ones make the big saves when needed.
Bill Ranford for THG hall of fame
Cujo had a cool mask
I think only two players got along with keenan, mark messier and olli jokinen
😊
Dominik Hasek comes in and wins a cup with redwings right after cujo lol poor guy
that was the year before, Hasek "retired" from the NHL after winning in '02
I disagree his time in Detroit was a "disaster". His stats were really good, it's just Detroit's offense dried up in the 2 playoff years he was there, both years Detroit was Top 3 in the league for Goals For.
Is Tim Thomas a hall of fame goalie
Who in the heck is the one person?
My fave goalie then till bobby Lou showed up
Cujo was my favorite in St. Louis. Still hate Keenan to this day.
Once you do enough to get in you cant go backwards HOFer easily
Richter should be in the HOF before Cujo.
Wilner Olivier Was Richter consistent, though? Less than 300 wins and his other stats were not anywhere near elite level in his era. He was AWESOME in short tournaments like the World Cup and Olympics, just as Ryan Miller was MVP of such tournaments (even though the U.S. never won the title).
@@andreinekrasov2036 1996 World Cup of Hockey ring any bells? But yeah I agree with you, wasn't as consistent as CuJo for example.
And then there was his international play.
Is Steve Larmar able for a THG HOF spot because the NHL is dumb and not put Larmar in
Trevor Linden
Personally I would love 700,000 of chump change.
Greatest mask of all time
CuJo
I'm sorry but I would LOVE to beat that SOB senseless. I lived beside his sister in Keswick. One day she knocked on our door holding a beaten and bloody sheepdog. She had rescued it from her brother Curtis Joseph who had beaten him within an inch of his life with a goalie stick. We adopted him and he turned out to be the greatest most loving dog I ever owned.
What! That's a crazy story.
Detroit was stupid. Collapse? Cujo played amazing for Detroit in the playoffs. They sucked and couldn’t score with all that fire power.
Exactly, I thought Shannon was way off on that part. Cujo had a solid .917 save% in the sweep loss against the Ducks in 2003 so he wasn't to blame for that. Then in 2004 he posted a .939 save% in 9 playoff games for Detroit. The team in front of him just couldn't score.
I don't think Curtis Joesph was a great goalie, not even in the playoffs, where is his playoff wins? Why couldn't even he even win with Detroit? I dont think he was that good
Cujo vs Cheveldae. How can you not mention it?
Please do a video on Rod Langway, he played high school hockey near me in Massachusetts, I always considered this guy to be under rated
