Ned that sounds about right for those pads.
The legend played 6 games for the Oilers in the 98-99 season going 1-4-1 with a 2.82 GAA and .907 S%
"The 5-foot-9, 165-pound goalie is the only member of the Oilers' top 10 prospects not drafted by the Oilers. Passmore has resurrected his career after missing all but two games in the 1995-96 season due to a recurring muscle cramping condition. When he and fellow prospect J.F. Labbe didn't beat Bob Essensa for the job backing Curtis Joseph, Passmore was sent to Hamilton and later San Antonio. Passmore struggled, but by February he was back in Hamilton and playing well." (Dan Barnes, The Hockey News Future Watch 1998)
How could I forget that he overcame that mysterious blood disorder / muscle cramping condition to become Steve Passmore the modern-day legend. Supposedly he had to pop massive amounts of pills to control an overabundance of heavy metals in his blood.
