Why he might be annoying:

    His nickname was 'Mr. Goalie.'
    He was notorious for his pre-game ritual of vomiting before drinking a glass of orange juice afterwards.
    He is the second player in NHL history to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as a member of the losing team.
    Despite his accolades with the Black Hawks, he was left unprotected and was eventually claimed by the Blues in the expansion draft (1967).
    Many casual fans remember him as being the goalie who surrendered Bobby Orr's Stanley Cup clinching goal, which became famous for Orr celebrating as he was flying in mid-air.
    Despite announcing his initial retirement at the end of the 1969-70 season, he came out of retirement to get another shot at the Stanley Cup the following season.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a durable goaltender during the earlier part of his career.
    He guided the Hawks to their first Stanley Cup championship in 23 years (1961).
    He started 502 consecutive games in an eight year span.
    He played in every NHL All-Star game during the 1960's.
    He guided the Blues to the franchise's first three Stanley Cup Finals appearances (1968, 1969, 1970).
