Amen.

I have to kind of chuckle - then cry a little - thinking about how bad some of those teams were, what a complete nut-job Ballard was, and how incompetent some of the management and coaches were, one name sums it all up for me - Brophy.

i was advocating for John Brophy to coach about a week ago. I can top that - Gord Stellick

was or is Gardiner somehow to blame for the choice of Wregget and the Kurvers for a 1st rounder deal with NJ as well?

Russ Courtnall for John Kordic was a good trade.

Ya know kokes I'm starting to think getting traded wouldn't be a bad thing right now.

If he had scouting staff Stellick would've been a genius....the guy traded Wregget for two 1st round picks! TWO.

saw that... I assumed you were drinking....


battery acid.

True, there were the Jays....but if you think the Boston meltdown was bad for the leafs.....how about blowing a 3-1 lead to KC......and then the division title on a 7 game losing streak in 87......

everything about the 80s was awesome. Best athletes (gretzky, jordan, ) , movies, nintendo, wwf wrestling, toys, cartoons, hockey cards..80s music is awesome too in it's so bad it' great.
kids today suck

it was pure sarcasm...as bad as the 80s leafs were, they had some of the most classic and colourful players. So bad.

not really... he was just wired most of the time... whatever meds he was abusing - I can't remember what it was...

but I do know that Wendel kicked his ass quite resoundingly.

I chose Wregget because I liked the way his name sounded.

I'm not even that big of a Gardiner fan, I mean I like him as a player, but I find he has a real dumb look to him.

But doesn't he become your favorite when HH is around?

The story of how kordic died is insane.

Could you imagine Twitter in the 80's, though?

My god, the humanity!

Him and Nilan were a couple of mental cases.

I haven't had a favourite Leaf player since Sundin and Mogilny. I've liked certain guys though. Schenn for example, Kadri........I'm hopeful Rielly will be my "next one"

I also liked Stevey Sullivan...always liked the little guys...even Wellwood.

80's I loved Wregget, Stumpy, Clark and Marois. 90s Dougie and Felix. Cujo. eddie. Yuskevich.

I enjoy facebook (mostly just to chirp people who take it seriously) because its people i know. I'm not on twitter, it just seems pointless to talk about something with a bunch of people i don't know. I don't care what the rest of the world has to say about #firstworldproblems etc. I'm sure theres more to it than that but I'll stay on the sidelines

I think a more appropriate headline for this blog should be: 'the winds of sh!t'

I loved tucker and roberts. I still respect the hell out of luke schenn too. We clearly won the deal but when he was 18 and fighting chris neil to protect that wuss matt stajan i knew the kids was a beauty
