My conversation with former NHL goaltender Allan Bester, whose time with the Toronto Maple Leafs during the mid-80's made him into a genuine local favourite that was always respected for his competitive spirit and indomitable will.

We talked about the daunting nature of his craft during a notoriously free-wheeling and high-scoring decade, the changing nature of modern goaltending, thoughts on how NHL front offices should regard the position, introspective musings on the glory of hockey masks, his admired heroes and coveted teammates, on the legacy of Harold Ballard and his personal relationship with him, and some candid perspectives on the city's Stanley Cup drought and what fans truly desire in the end.
