Oh man, the memories! Here is a compilation of the best and worst that was Ron Hextall back in his playing days. It's awful long - but the ending (in it's mustachioed glory) is tremendous. He was the fiercest (maybe craziest) competitor I ever saw. I saw him once at the Pacific Coliseum. He had the fastest glove I've ever seen. I had a pet rabbit in high school named 'Hexxy.' I painted his name and a set of pads on his cage. I loved him. I still have a Hextall Vic stick in the basement. Hockey seems kinda boring now without such characters. And lordy - him beating on Felix Potvin (Rrrrooowwwww) is some good stuff.
