..........we'll see......

(and yes Jesse Joe, this ol' fogey remembers watching the original six - better hockey!)

wow, that sounds like the Bill Barilko legend (never won the cup from when he drowned until years later when they found his body)
...the Tragically Hip will have to write a tune called Doris Clayman, lol

if the Leafs even make the playoffs by 09-10 I'll be surprised

original six, no trap, no helmets and no hitting from behind...and weren't those the best years for hockey card collecting also, although I got the bug more in the post '67 era
