Never knew you were a hockey fan, Grandpa!

For goaltenders, you just named the two guys I was going to say: Fetisov and Roy are my two favorites from Russia and North America respectively. Of course, there are also guys like Martin Brodeur

I grew up playing ice hockey in winter, street hockey in summer, floor hockey in fall.

I was a goaltender and loved..LOVED playing wing because loved mixing it up in the corner

How many here remember 1972 Harry Sinden's last minute decision to put Paul Henderson on the ice against CCCP and break the hearts of mother russia on a second rebound and the rest is history
