That was the 1996 final, the first season of the Super League. Before that the standard of goaltending was generally poor to terrible and in the seasons prior to that a shot like that would have almost certainly resulted in a goal. The level of performance we saw from Robins in the first few months of that season was unlike anything we'd seen before.

From what I've seen-
Cruickshank for consistancy Kudrna for crunch games and technically brilliant Askey.

Also, consider the guys firing at him in those days were a class above what we have now. Look at the top point scorer right now Courtenay, imagne him 10years ago, and he wasnt the best in the league at the time.
It was just the way Robins looked unorthodox but still put up such consistent numbers. Added to the fact he could handle the big games and youve got a great all round netminder.
The 2 best saves I have ever seen dont invole him though, Askeys save in sheff in the cup and Crookers save in france were by far the best. If Curtis had a big game head he would have been a much higher rated Minder IMO

Wow - absolutely loved the old clip from Sky. Please can someone jolt my memory.. Who's the North American co-commentator? Fez I think it's Richard Boprey. And not that I really deserve much of a vote, but Robins is one of the best goalies I've ever seen full stop. Although seeing how low he could get to the ice when doing the splits just wasn't normal.

Actually if you look at last season's stats, our very own Geoff Woolhouse had the best GAA of all netminders in the league and the second best save percentage, behind Koenig. He did only play 9 games but still ...

I'm sticking with Mika Pietila, 0.920 in the ISL is good going. Never saw Robbins as Danny Lorenz was in net in my first season

I'd be another that would go with Robbins though I'd love to be able to make a comparison with Jack Siemon.
Robbins' only slight weakness was his temperament which ironically was also one of his strengths too. I do feel he was a head above any other Panthers goalie I've witnessed.

Robins by a mile.
Askey rates up there with the rest definatly. Id rate him over Pietila, Sunberg, Willis, Lorenz,Rasto etc

I'm not sure about Askey, yes he was good but he was playing against opposition of a lower standard

Im going for the Robber too, never known a goalie so focused than him before a game, he litterally would steal games on his own, awesome

Trevor Robins seems to be a curious example. No doubt he was good, but he committed some sins that goalies over here would be crucified for!
