He was always one of my favourites growing up. I can't remember how many times he took a puck off the noggin and would get a nasty cut, but keep right on playing. Gump and Rogie Vachon together in Montreal in the 60's were one of the best 1-2 combinations I ever saw.

I had to re-read that like 3 times to make sure I was understanding that...

Anyways thats too bad. Unfortunately I was around when he played so I'll never be able to appreciate the way he played.

RIP Gump...

Another legend leaves us... those old school goalies were some crazy tough silly billies that's for sure.

I would be terrified to be in goal with out a mask. I cant imagine getting beaned in the face with 80+ slapshot. Whats funny is as im typing this Lidstrom just got hit behind the ear with the puck. How ironic.
