CBC just posted this retro clip of Jacques Plante, Glenn Hall, and Johnny Bower reminiscing.

I love Jacques' reply to Peter Gzowski (the interviewer, at least I think it is) about how many Vezina's he had won.
It blows my mind they played (at least the goalies) without masks...
Very cool clip Craig, thanks for that. Those were some of my hockey heroes when I was a kid.Quote:
