gold star for USAHOF

20. Gerry Cheevers

20. Gerry Cheevers
A clutch goaltender who played his best when the lights were at its brightest, Gerry Cheevers backstopped the Bruins to two Stanley Cup wins (1970 & 1972) and the Hall of Famer might have had more NHL accolades had the man with the famous stitched mask not taken his talents to the World Hockey Association for a few years.  
Aside from that mask, Cheevers would also be known for his aggression and fearlessness in regards to showing his stick to attackers, almost making him a “third defenceman” of sorts.  The Hockey Hall of Fame called Cheevers name in 19985.
