Bernie Parent on the other hand was one of the best clutch goaltenders that the game has ever seen. Actually I can think of 5-10 goalies that I would take over Tony O who haven't been selected yet.

In the 1972 summit series, Espo and Dryden split the games, 4 each. It was Espo that had the winning record, the better save pct and better GAA. Those Chicago teams had some HOF players (Hull, Mikita), but they did not have the depth that many other teams had.
