Montreal Canadiens goaltending greats roll off the tongue pretty rapidly for a Habs fans.

Carey Price. Patrick Roy. Ken Dryden. Jacques Plante. If you ask any Canadiens fan to name the four best goalies in team history, you are likely to hear those four names.

However, there is one more who stands among those greats, but he rarely gets the same recognition. He did finally get his due from the Hockey Hall of Fame on this day, August 29 in 1964.
