Jacques Plante et la révolution du masque

[kylerott]

Would like to have seen his coach, who forbid him to wear a mask, and those who mocked him stand in front of a Bobby Hull slapshot.

CH were awesome like everything was awesome before 1980. :-) Today, CH is unbelievably an overfinanced marketing product for the 100th of last year. since more than two years, we're still with their flags up in Montreal.

I liked the come back he used against a fan who thought he was afraid of playing goal with a mask, Jacques's reply was "if you jump out of a plane without a parachute, does that make you brave?" Lol.

Jacques Plante explains that at first hockey players from opposing teams mocked him for wearing a facial mask. He said that during off-seasons he was a Baseball Catcher & Lacrosse Goalie, where he wore a mask. So due to the many facial injuries he subtained in Hockey the idea to adorn a mask made sense. The mask did not imbede his game, because the first year he wore a mask, his team won the Stanley Cup Afterward other goalies started to wear a mask. Now a goaltender mask is standard equipment.
