These blue, yellow and white Franklin goalie pads were game worn by Grant Fuhr during play with the St. Louis Blues. Fuhr is a member of the NHL’s elusive 400-win club. This club is limited to 9 goaltenders in the history of the sport. Included in this select list are Roy, Belfour, Brodeur, Sawchuk, Plante, Joseph, Esposito, Hall and of course Fuhr.
Grant was the main man in goal for the dynasty that was the Edmonton Oilers of the 1980’s. His stellar netminding helped the Oilers to 5 Stanley Cups in a 7-year period. He was unquestionably among the best goalies in the entire game during his era. His better than 90 career playoff wins rank him among the all-time elite. Fuhr was twice a 1st or 2nd team NHL All Star and played in 6 NHL All Star games. In addition to his 5 Stanley Cups, Grant has (1) Jenning’s Trophy for fewest goals allowed and (1) Vezina trophy for most valuable goalie in the NHL. Fuhr represented Team Canada in both the 1984 and 1987 Canada Cup’s and was named to the 1987 Canada Cup All Star team. He was also the NHL’s netminder against the Russians in Rendezvous ‘87. Following a 19-year NHL career, Fuhr was inducted on the first ballot into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2003.
The pads shows nice game use. Shown above is a photo match of Grant wearing these exact pads during play with the St. Louis Blues. Hall of Famers pads don't come around too often. Here's a chance to add one to your collection and a photo matched pair at that.
