Ron Hextall was also the winner of the Vezina Trophy (NHL's Best Goaltender) and the Conn Smythe Trophy (NHL Playoff MVP), as well as being named to the NHL All-Rookie Team in 1987 as a rookie for the Philadelphia Flyers, as the Flyers took the powerful Edmonton Oilers to seven games during the Stanley Cup Finals.
Good question by the way!

Who is this Conn Smyth? Ryan Smyth's dad? And what is a tem?
Anyway, you know the answer to your question--Ron Hextall--so why ask it?
But actually you are wrong. Roger Crozier won the Conn Smythe in 1966 and Detroit lost the Cup so Hextall is not the only NHL goalie to win the Smythe and be on the losing team (side is Britglish, by the way).

JS Gigure, Anaheim in the 2002-2003 season, where they lost to the New Jersey Devils in 7 games.
Before that, Ron Hextall of the Philidelphia Flyers won the Conn Smythe and Vezina in his rookie year in the 1986-1987 season.
So, technically, these two satisfy the actual question asked.

My well-known is Rogie Vachon of the Kings, however the genuinely "superb" goalie ever become Dominik Hasek. He become the explanation the Czecho's performed so properly interior the Olympics, the explanation Buffalo become good interior the previous due 90s, and the better portion of the mid 00's purple Wings. He performed an exceedingly unique form, ought to end any shot he needed, or maybe got here out of his internet to make hits. no rely in case you suspect him each game, or in basic terms watched his spotlight video clips, he could provoke you greater beneficial than absolutely everyone. Infact, whether you in basic terms inspect his stats, he's the excellent ever. you ought to argue that Roy, Brodeur, Plante, Dryden, Vachon, Thompson, Esposito, and Vezina have been "greater beneficial" goalies in hockey history, however the outright superb of any era become actual Hasek

He also scored a goal in his career-the first goalie to truly score. The goalie before that that was credited with a goal did not actually score he was just the last player on his team to have touched the puck. Hextall was one of the first good puck handling goalies.
