In a 2019 sit-down interview recorded in Glenn Hall's living room, the Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender discussed his NHL record 502 consecutive games played, his role as a butterfly pioneer, and his career without ever wearing a mask. Hall, who passed away at age 94, shared lesser-known stories about teammates alongside his most celebrated achievements.

Key Takeaways
  • Glenn Hall played 502 consecutive NHL games — a record that still stands — while pioneering the butterfly style and never wearing a mask.
  • Over-preparation or the wrong type of preparation can harm a goalie's performance, not help it, according to the Parent Segment on preparation.
  • Matt Murray breaks down a 2-on-1 video read, explaining that the bus shot-or-pass decision is often dictated by the position of your own defenseman.
  • A Bauer Pro chest protector worn by Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jacob Fowler is available exclusively through The Hockey Shop Source for Sports.
