The Night Gump Worsley Survived 67 Bruins Shots In A Legendary Tie
At age 41, Gump Worsley put together one of the greatest goaltending performances in NHL history. Facing the powerhouse Bruins in 1971, the veteran Minnesota North Stars goalie stopped 63 of 67 shots in a wild 4-4 tie. Bobby Orr fired 13 shots. Phil Esposito had 10. Neither could solve Worsley consistently as he frustrated one of hockey’s most dangerous offenses all night long.
