My Take
Glenn Hall is, for my money, the toughest goaltender hockey ever produced. A small-town kid from Humboldt, Saskatchewan who played 502 consecutive games in net, often without a mask, in an era when that meant taking pucks to the face for a living. The detail I can't shake is that he reportedly got sick from nerves before games and still showed up, every single time. Three Vezina Trophies and a Hall of Fame plaque feel almost like understatement. I admire that kind of unglamorous, indestructible resolve. He lived to 94, and that long life felt as steady as his streak.
