Jacques Plante was the greatest goalie in Montreal Canadiens history. He won six Vezina's and a Hart trophy in Montreal to go with his six Stanley Cups in Montreal.

Plante is still the Montreal Canadiens leader in career games played and wins. He's second only to George Hainsworth in career shut-outs. He is third to Ken Dryden and Patrick Roy in playoff wins in Montreal. He was tied with Dryden with 10 playoff shut-outs.

He was one of the quickest goalies of his era with a snake-like glove hand and feet to match.

During his first five seasons with the Canadiens he managed over a .920 save percentage.

Ahead of his time he designed, introduced and eventually popularized the mask. Plante was one of the first goalies to venture out of his net to corral pucks for his defenceman.

Plante only lasted ten seasons in Montreal but because of his sharp mind and fitness level managed to play in the NHL until age 44.
