Damphousse may have been the only player to have led three different teams (Toronto, Edmonton, Montreal) in scoring in three consecutive seasons.

Dick Duff, Johnny McCormack, Gordie Drillon, Vic Lynn, Gaye Stewart, Murph Chamberlain.

Schneider played for Toronto?

He did.

Not for long though.

What's the matter with you people ? What about the great Larry Hillman ? The best of the famed Hillman brothres.

 

[V-2 Schneider]

I think Robert Picard played for both.He was the original Brisebois.

Don't forget Sylvain Lefebrve.

Did you see Picard play Jr. ? Talk about getting a bad read on a prospect, I thought he'd be great, he had an ok career I guess, but never anywhere close to what I thought he would.

Larry Mickey, Serge Boisvert, Dick Gamble, Bert Corbeau, Paul Masnick, Noel Price, Bill Kitchen, Ric Natrass, Donnie Marshall.

That's up through 2004. Not sure if this year added anyone else to the list. The guys who have made significant contributions to both teams includes Lorne Chabot, Dick Duff, Frank Mahovlich, Jacques Plante, Vincent Damphousse, and Shayne Corson.

If you include executives, you can add Dick Irvin, Frank Selke, Ken Dryden, Serge Savard, Pat Burns, probably others...

As someone who was firmly immersed in the Habs-Leafs rivalry, I'll say my favorite of those players was Duff. There were only a handful of Leaf players I really liked, and he was one of them. Was pleased as heck when he became a Hab.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

This isn't related to the question at hand, but wow, I had no idea that Damphousse played for Edmonton at one point. The more you know!

Add to that list the man, the myth, the legend:
