R.I.P Pat Quinn I wish you were never let go by the Leafs, another ex-Leaf died on the same day Murray Oliver November 23, 2014 he died of a heart attack at the age of 77 R.I.P to Mr Oliver as well.
Yes, rather a sad day..... Murray Oliver was a terrific player (Wings, Bruins, Leafs & North Stars), two way Center, crafty. We acquired him in May of 67 from the Bruins in exchange for Eddie Shack. Oliver played for the Leafs for 3 seasons, mostly on a line with Ron Ellis & Bob Pulford before being traded to Minnesota where he played another 5yrs. Coincidentally he like Pat Quinn grew up in Hamilton & also like Quinn post playing career became an Asst Coach & Head Coach, in Murrays case with Minnesota through to 1988. He then joined the Canucks as a Scout & then Head Pro Scout with Vancouver for a number of years.
