    Default RIP Tony O

    One of my childhood heroes.

    We are heartbroken to have lost a legend in Tony Esposito, who passed away today after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.

    Old school goalies were so badass. Barely any equipment. Masks totally unique. Unrefined styles of play.

    As a Blackhawk fan in the 70's he was my favorite goalie. RIP

    Tony O was a great goalie from a great era in hockey! A lot of colorful G in those days between Tony O, Cheese Cheevers, The Snake and many more! Eddie Giacomin, Gumper, Plante. RIP Tony. It must have pissed Tony off with all the goals Phil scored on him. Good trivia question as I have no idea how many Phil scored on his brother. Phil must have loved giving it to Tony at the holiday dinner table. haha On the other hand there were many times Tony robbed Phil!

    I remember playing goalie in road hockey and actually switched the stick and glove hand to mimic Esposito's.
