Teeder Keon
Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
Your dad was absolutely rightTeeder I did not see but my dad always said he was the warrior of all Leaf hockey warriors. He supposedly could lift team with skill and make it happen whatever it took whatever the situation --- a winner. A leader extraordinaire. He always says it is what the Leafs are missing now no disrespect to Tavares.
I’m always torn between Keon and Teeder , but deep down I have to go with Teeder 5 cups and as you said “Warrior of all Warriors “
Tavares is in the same mold but doesn’t have that little extra ingredient , toughness and ability to fight if need be
Gilmour was very close to a Teeder exhibiting the same qualities
Keon was a different leader , very quiet but hard ass like no other
