I love Jacques' reply to Peter Gzowski (the interviewer, at least I think it is) about how many Vezina's he had won.
Very cool clip Craig, thanks for that. Those were some of my hockey heroes when I was a kid.

Indeed, no helmets, no masks and guys like Maurice Richard and Gordon Howe firing slapshots at you!

I'll always remember being a kid and watching the Boston Bruins play with Gerry Cheevers in net. This was after goalies started wearing masks right (still no helmets though). He would put stitches on his mask where it got hit every time it got hit. Google him and have a look at his mask.........LOL
