    When Toronto beat the islanders in the '78 playoffs, the talk around Toronto was that they were about 2-3 players away from winning a cup. They were a lot more than that! In 1978, Roger Nielson was instrumental in trading Randy Carlyle and George Ferguson to Pittsburgh for washed up Dave Burrows (retired in '81). How'd that work out?

    • @jamesanthony5681
      @jamesanthony5681 5 років тому +6

      @Dwayne Bb Yep. He turned out pretty good. Toronto had a history of acquiring 30+ year old players who were well past their prime. It's almost like they did zero scouting and relied on what they heard or saw from a player 5 years earlier.

It's almost impossible to do what Reggie Leach did in the 1976 playoffs - i.e. come steaming down the right wing and just smack the puck past the goalie. Repeatedly. Lafleur did it to Cheevers in Game 7 after this Leafs series. You don't see goals like that anymore (although Nylander had a good one last year against Florida).
