Scouting Report
Played with both poise and passion between the pipes. Could make a spectacular save look routine. Could fill in as a starting goaltender in a pinch. Was well liked and respected. Had issues with long shots on occasion. Wasn't durable enough to play 60-plus games in the National Hockey League, especially later on in his career at an advanced age.
Long Range Potential: Savvy, likeable goaltender.
