Origin
and identity
Grant Fuhr supplied championship goaltending behind Edmonton's famous attack and later proved his durability in St. Louis.
Edmonton's scoring power did not remove the need for decisive saves. Fuhr's role was to keep an adventurous team in control when play opened up, a challenge different from guarding a purely defensive system.
His later St. Louis workload offers a second view of the same competitor. The Oilers championships made him famous, but the extraordinary number of games he played for the Blues demonstrated a separate kind of persistence.
