Mike Pelyk's Hairdo said...: That sure looks like McSorley (size, Jofa helmet, fists readily available for action) but ... are you sure that's not Glen Cochrane?? I don't recall McSorely ever in #34. Unless it's a pre-season 1985/86 fight? But I have been wrong before.; 9/19/09, 10:05 AM

Thanks!; 9/19/09, 4:51 PM

Down Goes Brown said...: Wow... so Wendel's first ever fight as a Leaf was against a young Marty McSorley. That's a fantastic piece of trivia.; 9/20/09, 10:13 PM
