Ron Tugnutt - 70 save game vs. Boston

In our other forum discussion (Post to Post with Steve Davies), the topic is the stereotype on small goaltenders.

Discussion link: A word for the smaller goalie

It made me remember when I was a kid watching this game when undersized Ron Tugnutt made 70 saves in the Boston Gardens when his Nords tied the Bruins 3 - 3.

His save in OT with .08 seconds left on Ray Bourque shows ALL GOALIES no matter what your size is in net, it can be done!



Great Job Tugger!

I always had a soft spot in my heart for that guy! He's always been so fun to watch!

It must have taken the Nordiques quite a bit of skill to pull off giving up that many shots. I guess it was the Homer Simpson strategy of letting themselves get so beat up that it would tire out their opponent...

LOL...I guess that's why Eric Lindros didn't want to play there as well, he would have had to work way too hard!
