Trying to figure out any goalie mentally is tough enough especially from the no mask era's, figuring out Plante about 10 times as hard.

There's stories about Plante that make Cheevers and Roy seem normal.

The death of his son though is most likely why.

just like to add that Plante visited, worked and vacationed in Europe a lot during his playing days and as a coach he coached in Sweden and a few other places

Why would anyone want to live in the middle of Western Europe, within a couple of hours of Paris, Milan, Frankfurt, Vienna?

London, Vienna, Frankfurt are all lovely cities. Paris not so much.
