He was never the same after Vancouver destroyed him in the playoffs in 92-93
Bob Essensa FTW

i’ll always remember Tabby as the guy who made ridiculous saves, and then let in a routine shot.

When Tabby was on, he was unbeatable. When he was off, he was atrocious. Never seen a more Jekyll and Hyde goaltender in my life.
Sidebar: he registered a shutout in two of the first three games he played as a Capital.
I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.

Six shutouts in 21 wins is a ridiculously high percentage and speaks to that “When he was on…” point.

Tabby
My one and, so far, only visit to Montreal saw the Caps beat the Canadiens courtesy of a Zednik (or was it Zubrus?) goal and a Tabaracci shutout.
As you can see, it was highly memorable.

Tabby-cat ruled. I remember my dad using the paint markers to make my first plain white Mylec mask to be like his back in…I suppose 93. I remember playing NHL 95, and taking Beaupre out and putting in Tabaracci.
I was 7, so I didn’t really know him as inconsistent. I just knew him as the bad ass goalie who I wanted to play like.
