Belfour's Corner

This page and the pages to follow are a dedication to the best goaltender in the NHL, Ed Belfour of the Dallas Stars.

Ed recorded his 50th shutout in a 3-0 win over the Washington Capitols on October 14, 2000 moving him into an elite list as only 18 goaltenders have ever recorded 50 + shutouts in their career. Major Kudos Mr. Belfour!!!

Ed named by The Hockey News Yearbook 9th among the best players in the world and THE best goaltender in the world! Congrats Eddie!!!

Eddie was one of only three goaltenders named by the fans of the Chicago Blackhawks as the all time best along with Glenn Hall and Tony Espisito his friend and mentor. The balloting took place courtesy of the Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Sun Times and they asked the fans to pick the 75th Anniversary team. Congrats again Eddie!
