I feel shame - I confused Ken Dryden with Jacques Plante. In my defense, I'm a Bruins fan and we're not big on having well-informed opinions. ;)

hahaha. I've been to a bruins game in TD Garden, and while I agree with you it still was pretty fun. Jacques Plante, best goalie to ever play for the Oilers!
