gerry cheevers
Cheevers was a pioneer. He was one of the first goaltenders to truly be a "third defenseman" when he would wander from his net and challenge shooters. Cheevers also wore one of the most distinctive face masks in hockey. Everytime he was hit in the mask by the puck, the trainer would paint stitches where it had hit. He holds the NHL record for longest undefeated streak (32 games, 24-0-8) with Boston in 1971-72. Gerry is one of only 44 goalies to win 200 NHL games. With a record of 204-126-46 (15-19 in the playoffs) in five seasons as Bruins coach, he ranks 7th in career winning percentage (.604). Knee problems forced his retirement following the 1979-80 season.
