Ken was such an amazing goaltender. I loved watching him. I’d watch him play, and not really watch the play, but focus on him stopping the puck. I tried to play my game after his style.
I met Ken a few years ago he was very calm asked my name and signed his autograph I will not ever forget that day I wanted to play in the ohl as a goaltender my mother passed away from breast cancer autographs cheered me up I have a ton of amazing hockey players autographs it's meeting them and having a good conversation with them Ken was busy several fans wanted his autograph but I was a little excited I had to look at him a few times did I just meet Ken Dryden I pinched myself yup I did Go Habs go
I wasn't able to see the ceremony live so I am so grateful for this, habs267. An incredibly moving tribute to perhaps the greatest goaltender of all time. Ken Dryden was always a class act and this honour was long overdue.
Thank you so much for posting the ceremony. When I found out I missed it, I was so upset. I searched the internet, tried to catch highlights on tv, asked friends to see if they recoded it and to no avail until now. Thank you so much for posting it. I'll be forever grateful. I heard how moving it was.
Aside from being one of the greatest goalies in hockey, he is name most synonymous with Cornell Big Red hockey, and his red #1 jersey now hangs from the rafters of Lynah Rink alongside Joe Nieuwendyk's #25. Though nearby Dryden, NY is not named after the hockey star, I find it fitting that he made his name near a village with his name at a school with the greatest hockey tradition in the NCAA.
As a Boston Bruins fan, while the Bobby Orr-led Bs won the Stanley Cup in '70 & '72, the main reason the Bs didn't 3-peat in '71 was because of Ken Dryden. The Bruins threw everything but the kitchen sink at Dryden, and he (largely) stone-walled them (even Orr & Esposito cited Dryden as the main reason they lost in '71). People can talk about Hasek or Brodeur as the GOAT, but give me Dryden as the GOAT.
I believe that the main reason for the Boston loss was their poor team defense. Yes, Dryden was a big factor, but hardly the only one. Esposito only scored 3 goals against the Habs in 7 games, and Orr only scored 5 ---- none of which were AFTER the 4th game.
@@mooch514 ... Well, I think that the mid-season acquisition of Frank Mahovlich also made a big difference: he scored seven goals in the 7 playoff games vs. Boston.
It's incredible to me that people actually are ignorant enough about hockey to suggest that Dryden was "overrated" and that he only had success because of the teams that played in front of him. But I can tell you that just isn't true. He is actually underrated! He is absolutely among the top 2 or 3 goalies of all time and yet rarely is he mentioned whenever such a discussion happens!

I never knew CBC aired the ceremony! I saw it on my satellite dish. Viewed it on the Ottawa channel.
It's "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve. It's on the Urban Hymns record.
c est Dryden qui a créé le big three avec ses arrets
Let's not forget his exceptional performance in the 1972 Canadian/Solviet Summit Series.
76 victoires en combien 81 games ??? il a sorti Bobby Orr et Phil Esposito
habs267 could you please re upload PART 2. I have 4 parts and missing #2. A Dryden fanatic I'd really like this video complete...
