Harold Ballard drove him out of Toronto. Parent came back to haunt the Loafes with a vengeance.

One of the best RIP.

 

[K Douglas]

Very good goalie of his era. Stepped his game up in clutch situations. RIP.

 

[The Oracle]

Seemed unbeatable in his era at times...One of the best in the times he played no doubt.

Just looked him up and he was 5'10..I always thought he was bigger.

 

[unassuming]

In that era and previous, goalies were smaller, Rogatien Vachon 5'8", Mike Palmateer 5'8", Jimmy Rutherford 5'8" also.
Ken Dryden was an anomaly at 6'4" he was considered humongous for a netminder, nowadays almost every goalie is thet big.
