Why Rob Blake ranks #43 in Ice Hockey

Rob Blake ranks 43rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1538th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 90, Honours 92, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 313 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1989–2010 with 22 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2000, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes norris trophies 1, stanley cups 1, olympic gold medals 1, career points 777.

Immediately ahead sits Tony Esposito on 89.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Nicklas Lidström on 89.1. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
