The Original Butterfly Goalie ?

[mrquincy]

I remember watching him play and he was amazing. What a great time for goalies. Tretzyak and Dryden...

 

[FairWarning]

Glenn Hall made it popular.

You see? That is cool!! There you go. I did not know that... I wonder how much NHL hockey Tretzyak would have seen?

 

[Saulty]

He must be Soviet. CCCP was dissolved in 1991.

He was a goalie coach also for Chicago, worked with Dominek Hasek.

nice, Mr Quincy. You unfortunately don't hear much about the great Soviet players here, Tretiak is widely regarded as the greatest goalie even by North Americans.

Reno was he better than Lev Yashin assuming he could play hockey?

 

[reno cool]

That was before my time. Don't follow football too much, is he highly revered with the footballers?

 

[SoV]

Only GK to win the Ballon D' Or.

 

[reno cool]

My father used to talk about him. Said he would sit on top of the goal post while play was at the other end

 

[mrquincy]

There were some epic battles when Tretiak played for CCCP and Ken Dryden was in nets. I remember watching them as a child.
