Moore • Dec 4th, 2008 • Category: Book Reviews, Branta Recommends, RantsWhen Jacques Plante, the greatest goaltender of all time was hit in the face with a puck and rendered all bloody, refusing to return to the ice without his mask, one he’d been using in practice. Gangster Coach Toe Blake was old school, loathed Plante (for his asthmatic paranoia and major quirks including not warming up before games) but did allow him to return wearing said mask. The rest is history.
