Thanks for Bob Neely. My fondest memory of big #3 is him playing against the Bruins in about 1974 or so. Number 4 Bobby Orr would be skating with the puck on the black-and-white TV screen. Bill Hewitt calling the play-by-play. Orr dazzles and razzles. Hewitt goes near-falsetto. Neely lines up Orr for the end-of-career killer-hit. Orr raises an eyebrow and throws off Neely's timing. Neely's ass goes flying past in the upper-right quadrant of the TV screen, missing Orr by 10 feet. If you are quick enough you can read the #3 on his back as he flies by. Orr scores. Neely dusts off his ass and goes to sit at the end of the bench. Leafs lose. The good old days!!
From Acomb to Zezel, VINTAGE LEAFS features photographs of your favourite Toronto Maple Leafs from years gone by. While the primary focus of the blog is on older photographs, the only steadfast rule is that players on the current team will not be showcased.
