RIP George. Fantastic Leaf player. Even better Captain. Hopefully boys win this one for him.

Sounds like he had a pretty incredible life, 21 NHL seasons all for the Leafs. The kind of thing I used to dream about. R.I.P.

George Armstrong scored the last Leafs goal, into an empty net in 1967 to secure a 3-1 Leafs win and their last Stanley Cup.

He will always be remembered fondly by me for that. RIP Chief

For younger Leaf fans that want to see that moment or relive that Armstrong highlight as it was back then.



Game highlights - 1967 playoffs (see minute 25 on for that Armstrong moment) ..

It was really nice to see him in a couple of recent pregame ceremonies the last few years. Really sad to see this news today

 

[Wafflewhipper]

He lived a good life to the ripe old age of 90. Will be missed seeing the chief at games. Leaf Icon forever! Well respected, great guy.

 

[Superstar]

Rest in peace, George. Leafs need to win another Cup, been way too long!

George Armstrong is a Leafs legend.

His statue sits on Leafs legends row as one of Leafs all-time best, memorialized for his long serving Leafs service.

RIP George. A great Leaf and an even greater person

 

[ToneDog]

Losing way too many great athletes lately. RIP Chief, you sure knew how to hoist Lord Stanley's mug.

 

[LeafSteel]

Sad to see another legend from this incredible generation of people disappear.
.

We will never see the likes of Armstrong and these legends again, and with each passing we are worse and worse off.

Rest easy Chief. You are already missed....

 

[The Man with a Plan]

Amazing player, leader and Captain.
As fine of a role model as an athlete can be.

RIP Chief.
Gone but never forgotten

god bless

 

[Mickey Marner]

Longest serving player and captain in Maple Leaf history. Tied for second all time with four cup wins while serving as team captain.

RIP Chief.
