Glenn Hall was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks from the Detroit Red Wings in 1957, and he became Mr. Goalie for the Hawks and built up a streak that may never be broken.
Hall started 502 consecutive games in net while in Chicago, which really is amazing since he didn’t wear a mask in a record that really is amazing. Today starting goalies are said to be taxed if they start over 65 games in a season. Yes, I know it’s a different era, but that many games is saw amazing.
Hall was just an ironman, he was really good, and in 1961 he was the backstop that led the Chicago Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup.
