A thousand shoutouts to Steve Dangle for getting this to happen, because this. Is. Awesome. Morgan Rielly, Toronto Maple Leaf, has some chirps for the hockey cards of fellow Toronto Maple Leafs, including: Nazem Kadri, Tyler Bozak, James van Riemsdyk, Jonathan Bernier, and... not himself, because apparently he can dish it, but can't take it. OH. AND DAVID CLARKSON. Seriously, that one's the best of them all. Not that this video wasn't worth it before, but his comments on Clarkson take it from a 10 to like, 100.
Toronto Maple Leafs sign Garrett Gamble Jr

The last team - the guy wearing snowshoes
46 years ago, the Leafs won it all. These are the people who did it, as seen through their cards. Allan Stanley only had two points in the 1967 playoffs, but he made sure they mattered.
The last team - the prince
46 years ago, the Leafs won it all. These are the people who did it, as seen through their cards. Pete Stemkowski didn't score the Cup-winner, but he's the one that made it happen.

Good goaltending is never something to apologize for and the '67 Leafs had two Hall of Famers. Their only bad stretch came when they lost both of them.

Tomas Kaberle
Haven't had a real Leaf of the Day in ages. Thanks and good luck, Tomas.
Collector's Corner #11 - Love's Last At-Bat.
The final battleground for Love vs Hate has been determined and it's 1978 baseball. Given that set, it's no surprise love is losing.
Collector's Corner #10 - In praise of badness
There are great cards, and there are bad cards, but sometimes you have to stop and admire the truly awful.
Kotter #3 - Nobody told me there would be any math.
Lacking anything substantive to post, I let another Kotter card send me down the rabbit hole. Barbarino would not have liked advanced stats.
Would Julie Kotter throw out Ron Wilson?
What can Julie Kotter tell us about changing coaches? There's no point we won't stretch.

Any day is a good day for Wendel Clark day, but especially today. Wendel is Leaf of the Day.
