It's been almost 18 years since Felix Potvin played goal for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but his legacy is strong.
Antoine Bibeau, a 22-year-old goaltending prospect drafted in the sixth round by Toronto in 2013, is doing his part to make sure Potvin - who was in the crease during two remarkable playoff runs in 1993 and 1994 - is never forgotten.

Bibeau had a .909 save percentage with the AHL's Toronto Marlies last season, and will be back with the farm team in 2016-17.
Potvin burst onto the scene in 1993, finishing as a Calder Trophy finalist and taking over in the crease after Toronto dealt veteran Grant Fuhr to the Buffalo Sabres in a trade that netted the club Dave Andreychuk.
Known affectionately as "The Cat," Potvin's best years came in Toronto. He spent eight seasons in blue and white, winning 160 games and finishing with a .908 save percentage. The mark was the highest of his career, which saw him play in Los Angeles, Long Island, Vancouver, and Boston.
