Gump

From Wikipedia:

Lorne John "Gump" Worsley (May 14, 1929 in Montreal, Quebec - January 26, 2007 in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec) was a professional ice hockey goaltender. Born and raised in Montreal, he was given his nickname due to friends deciding he looked like comic-strip character Andy Gump.

In the summer of 1963, Gump became involved in a proposed players' union, and was promptly traded to the Montreal Canadiens from the New York Rangers. While he was relegated to the minor-league Quebec Aces for parts of two seasons -- and characteristically winning First Team All-Star honors in the AHL in 1964 -- Worsley played his best years for the Habs as a member of four Stanley Cup-winning teams in 1965, 1966, 1968 and 1969. His best season was 1968, where he followed up a Vezina-winning performance and a career-low 1.98 goals against average by going undefeated in the playoffs with eleven straight wins. He quit in the midst of the 1969-70 season, feeling the pressure of performing in Montreal and being phased out in favor of younger goaltenders. He was suspended for not reporting to the Canadiens' Montreal Voyageurs farm team .

He suffered many injuries during his career, including a back injury with Vancouver of the WHL which nearly ended his career, a knee problem in the 1956 playoffs that required surgery afterward, a shot from Bobby Hull in 1961 that hit him in the forehead, a severed tendon in 1960, knee surgery in 1966, a pulled hamstring in 1963-64, and a pulled hamstring in 1972-73 that reduced his effectiveness and depressed him to the point where he temporarily retired from hockey . The blast to the forehead from Bobby Hull landed him, unconscious, in Montreal's Royal Victoria Hospital. Upon awakening, he was asked how he was feeling and replied, "Good thing the puck hit me flat!"
