HELL YES!! Greatest goalie of all time, despite all the mental demons he suffered with throughout his life. A life that ended too soon.

Indeed - and how his life ended was rather a strange event in itself.

Yes it was. Funny how many great goalies the Wings went through in those days with how small the league was. Traded Harry Lumley because Sawchuk was ready to step in, then traded Sawchuk because Glenn Hall was ready to step in.

Whoa, I just noticed in the article this movie was shot here in Sudbury. I never heard anything about it, and usually info passes quickly here. Have to see if i can find what locations were used.
