One of the best goaltenders of all time has died.
Ken Dryden, who burst on the scene late in the 1970-71 season when the Montreal Canadiens called him up from Halifax of the AHL, led the underdog Habs to one of the greatest upsets of all time.
Phil Esposito and Bobby Orr led the Boston Bruins that year to one of the best regular seasons in NHL history but Montreal took them out in seven.
Dryden won the Conn Smythe as MVP that playoff after they beat Chicago in the final in seven games, then went on to win the Calder Cup as rookie of the year in 1971-72.
