I think he started with the Leafs in ’90 or ’91…

Fedorov took 91 because it was the reverse of Yzerman’s 19. No idea which #39 Godynyuk might have been a fan of, though.

Blue and White has been alive and well in Ottawa since waaaaay before 1992.

The story at the time was that Fedorov took 91 because he was the first Russian defector of the 90’s….

Bernie Parent! …he left for the WHA while under contract with the Leafs, they wouldn’t pay him what he wanted so they dealt him to Philly and won the Vezina.

Like Rick Bosetti my goal in life is not to do well but to piss on things.
