Gump Worsley RIP
NHL Goaltending great Gump Worsley dead at 77.
"I never really did wear a mask.The last six games I wore one. I was retiring and Wren Blair told me, 'You better put on the mask and save your eyes.' It was awful warm. And you still ducked."

I remember collecting hockey cards and I had a few of Gump. His name was easy to recall. Hey the enhancements to your page look great!
I always appreciated Gump because he looked like such an unlikely athlete but still did a great job....+ like Johnny Bower, he didn't need no steenking mask.
This is very sad to me...just got a Christmas card from Lorne a couple of weeks back. The Hall of Famers of our generation are starting to pass quickly...cherish them while you can.
"And you still ducked" That is beautiful!
I like the new layout and colours. Looks great.
Gump was as fun to watch as any goalie I ever saw. Very acrobatic, the ultimate flopper! Grant Fuhr was the last of that breed.
Worsley also had a grand sense of humor, he was a great interview. he'll realy be missed
