I remember that well , effed up that no one came to helpGlennie used to crack me up with that hair and the Swanson TV Dinner commercial with Lanny.
I remember the game Dan Maloney gooned him in the Gardens! Not one Leaf came to his defense, terrible.
I liked him a lot

Sweeter for sureMcKenney might have been Sweeter and Sexier than Willie. LOL.
Will never forget Jimmy scoring into the Leaf empty net against the Sabres and then as the goal, given to Rick Martin (RIP) was announced, the showed Jimmy on the bench swearing. He was a beauty.

I remember the game vividly!Tried but no luck. It was gainst the Sabres and Rick Martin was credited with the EN goal.
I’m with you!I used to love when he came from around our net and stick handle right in front , awesome ,the garden crowd would gasp in fear and anticipation
Ef I miss the Gardens
I’m with you!
I miss the narrow corridors with the concrete block walls, the front Facade and Marquee, the fact that it was nestled into a city neighborhood.
It was truly Hockey night when you rounded the corner on Carlton and saw the Marquee.[/QUOTE
The very few times I went as a kid many many years ago , which was rare , I never ever got out of my seat the entire duration of the game , not even when I needed to go , but couldn’t stop looking around constantly at the scenery .
But I did walk the gardens before and after as much as I could , trying to get into as many nooks and places as possible until security would dash me out ..
I’ve said this before ...I’m lucky to have watched and listen the last two cups and remember them vividly..
Been a fan for 55 or so years
Love the current team especially AM this year , wasn’t all keen on him prior I must admit other than his enormous offensive talent , but man has he put it all together this year
My first favourite Leaf player as a boy was Dick Duff. He was the Leafs’ top scorer in 1958-59, the first year I really followed the team. The best line he was on was a bit later, including the Cup winners of 62 and 63. That line was Duff, Keon, and Armstrong. The 1963 team was one of two teams in Leaf history to both finish first in the regular season and also win the Cup. (The other was 1948.). That line remains my favourite to this point.
But Matthews and Marner are catching up fast!
