Ron Hextall on The Cam & Strick Podcast

Ron Hextall, arguably the toughest goaltender in the history of the NHL, is certainly the most unpredictable. He made a career out of destroying guys with his stick and his fists, all while making highlight-reel saves en route to becoming one of the best goalies of his era. Don't let the psychotic antics fool you, yes he was an animal but he was also one hell of a goaltender. We cover all of our bases on this episode, from his fights, to be traded, to scoring goals. Yes, Hextall did score nearly as many goals as Cam did in his career. He was the first goalie to ever score in a regular-season game before becoming the first NHL goalie to ever score in a Stanley Cup playoff game. His ability to handle the puck is what separates him from the rest of the goalies who came along in the '80s and '90s.  Before there was Martin Brodeur there was Ron Hextall. He never won a Stanley Cup as a player but he would eventually win as an assistant GM with the LA Kings in 2012. He eventually became General Manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, the same franchise where he became a legend as a player. How did it end? Not good, what happened? We tell you about this edition of the Cam and Strick Podcast.
