Me and my sister used to keep a statistical diary of every Leafs game in the '70's. It really was the only way to stay on top. West Coast games were a nightmare and even more if the NHL changed the assists/goal after the game. Sittler's 10 point night was the dream night for a statistic nerd kid like I was then.
Internet is way too easy. Can you imagine doing advanced stats back then?

That's hilarious, I was such a maniac I'd phone the radio station in Smiths Falls for the scores around 7 am when theLeafs played in Oakland and LA the overnight guy hated my high pitched guts.
That's awesome. We never went to those lengths.That's hilarious, I was such a maniac I'd phone the radio station in Smiths Falls for the scores around 7 am when theLeafs played in Oakland and LA the overnight guy hated my high pitched guts.

I had a scrapbook that I pasted newspaper clippings of the NHL leading scorers and the Leafs' team stats. I'd cut out the NHL leading scoring stats in the early season if a Leaf managed to get into the scoring leaders' list.
The Sittler-Thompson-Macdonald line would have been there and also Norm Ullman iirc
I remember my guidance counselor when I got to high school asked me about the Leafs stat keeping thought that my career path would be as an insurance company articulator which was a very high paid job at the time but I ended up being an unemployed civil engineering graduate.

What a line that was, unfortunately there was never a supporting cast. Ullman is interesting I guess because he had been a support guy in Detroit a very underrated career IMO.
A gentleman I know who is a huge Leafs fan knows Ullman very well, he used to dine with him all the time, but as a diehard Leafs fan, says it was too tough for him to hear Ullman say he enjoyed his time with the Wings more than Toronto. Leaf fans, we are sick.

Norm was class before,during and after his leaf tenure,I don't think there's any sickness.
Our defense and goaltending has been competitive lately. Maricin's looking like a top 4 guy, Gardiner's looking like a top pairing guy. Carrick is a nice addition. Rielly's pretty much playing the same he's been all season. And somehow, Bernier's found his groove again, and Sparks is looking alright too.
Add back in the offense from some of our injured players, and I'm getting pretty excited about next season.

I don't think you understand what I wrote based on the above. Guy liked Ullman very much, he just didn't like Ullman saying good things about the other team he played for before coming to Toronto. There was nothing implied about Ullman not being a totally cool guy.
2 words- cap space, free agency. It will be a year. Next year they make the playoffs, year after 2nd or third round.
i know the most here look more @the scorerboard, but Grabner play in the last game very well.He tried a myn thinks and work hard for the team.

Don't worry about your English. English is a difficult language to speak or write well, but most of us can understand your post. Welcome and keep posting!
Since they traded off Phaneuf, and essentially gave Marincin his ice-time, he's been very good. He was very good for Edmonton that one season when he was basically their best d-man.
He's shaping up to be a modern day defensive defenseman. Here's a page comparing him to Polak. Now, Polak logged more ice-time and had a big advantage in scoring, but Martin's defensive stats just blow Polak out of the water.
Marincin's game is one that gets highly overlooked, but with his recently increased ice-time, I think he's going to improve on his scoring.

YUP. Kids being bullied and taken liberties with.
I guarantee Lou sees it too plus Babs would be like "Lou, I need a tough guy that can play"
Lou will find a big strapping player that can fight and play.
Welcome to the Leafs Milan Lucic.
So?
Lucic would be the absolute perfect fit for the Leafs. AINEC
I would give him 6.5 to 7 without even thinking about it.
That man is a force to be reckoned with and he sticks up for teammates all the time and not many guys in the NHL want to tangle with him.
Sorry son but we have a ton of cap space and at this time, will struggle just to get to the floor.
When you bring in a Lucic and a Stamkos, you also improve your team enough to make the playoffs next season.
Also offer one of the best D on the UFA list and blam, you have a playoff team.
