Innocuous In Innisfil Has Moved

Good Morning #Canada
#HappyBiirthday to the greatest #NHL goalie in history, Glenn Hall. His record of 502 consecutive games played, 551 including playoffs, in an era when goalies did not wear masks, will never be broken. His performance in the Stanley Cup finals of 1968 and 69 was legendary, when his team the St. Louis Blues was badly outmatched, and it seemed only Hall would keep the Canadiens from winning.

Hall was my idol growing up, and despite being a rabid Leafs fan, I was Glenn Hall when I was a goalie on our backyard rink. Hall pioneered the butterfly style that every modern goalie uses today, but in the 60s, it was criticized in the era of stand-up goalies. My coach in house league would yell, "Stand the f*ck up..." or "Get off the f*cking ice..." when I emulated Hall's technique. If my team at the time had a decent 2nd goalie, I wouldn't have played many games.
