Ken Dryden, the star goalie of the Canadiens' 1970s dynasty and one of hockey's most respected thought leaders, died Friday, the team announced. He was 78.
"Ken embodied the best of everything the Montreal Canadiens are about, and his legacy within our society transcends our sport," Canadiens owner Geoff Molson said in a statement. "On behalf of the Molson family and our entire organization, I would like to extend my most heartfelt condolences to his family, his friends, and all who had the privilege to cross his path and know him on a personal level."
