Samma vinter tog han \u00e4ven emot priset som den b\u00e4sta rookien och under de kommande \u00e5ren skulle kanadensaren (som senare \u00e4ven representerade USA) vara en av NHL:s fr\u00e4msta spelare.<\/p>\n<p>Mellan 1969-1984 spelade Esposito i Chicago Blackhawks och under m\u00e5nga av dessa \u00e5r var m\u00e5lvakten en av lagets viktigaste spelare, n\u00e5got som inte minst blev tydligt n\u00e4r hans fina spel tog laget hela v\u00e4gen till Stanley cup-finalen d\u00e4r Montr\u00e9al tillslut vann med 4-3 i matcher. Totalt blev det drygt 800 matcher i v\u00e4rldens b\u00e4sta liga innan han, efter sexton \u00e5r p\u00e5 den h\u00f6gsta niv\u00e5n, valde att avsluta karri\u00e4ren.<\/p>\n<p>Den profilstarka m\u00e5lvakten rankas \u00e4n idag som en av Chicagos fr\u00e4msta spelare genom alla tider och 1988 valdes han in i Hockey Hall of Fame. Efter spelarkarri\u00e4ren blev m\u00e5lvakten general manager i Pittsburgh Penguins innan han mellan 1992-98 skulle vara scout f\u00f6r Tampa Bay, n\u00e5got som resulterade i att klubben lyckades rekrytera flera kommande storstj\u00e4rnor.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Esposito blev 78 \u00e5r gammal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FAKTA: Tony Esposito<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>F\u00f6dd:<\/strong> 23:e april 1943<br \/>\n<strong>Nationalitet:<\/strong> Kanada\/USA<br \/>\n<strong>Position:<\/strong> m\u00e5lvakt<br \/>\n<strong>Klubbar:<\/strong> Michigan Tech, Vancouver Canucks, Montr\u00e9al Canadiens, Houston Apollos, Chicago Black Hawks<br \/>\n<strong>Meriter i urval:<\/strong> NHL:s b\u00e4sta m\u00e5lvakt (69\/70,71\/72,73\/74), NHL:s b\u00e4sta rookie (69\/70)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>En av v\u00e4rldens mest mytomspunna spelare har somnat in.\u00a0 NHL brukar vara bra p\u00e5 att hylla tidigare storspelare som g\u00e5tt ur tiden och nu \u00e4r det tyv\u00e4rr dags igen.
