Former Leafs tough guy and coach Dan Maloney died today at age 68. Way too young.

Tough guy.

I'll never forget when he tried to jump over the fallen player. He was following Bill Derlago who jumped first and landed cleanly, Maloney landed on his tailbone.

Maloney was a true tough guy but he totally sucker punched Glennie who never had a chance. Glennie was tough too just not a fighter. Tiger Williams and Maloney went at it later in that same game.

.......... Tiger Williams and Maloney went at it later in that same game.
They later became teammates when Maloney came to the Leafs. (reminds me of when Dave Hutchison , then with LA Kings, broke his stick over Tiger Williams' back in an intense playoff game and they went at it, Hutchison a few years later became Tiger's team-mate when he joined the Leafs)

Ballard was a big fan of Maloney's as he was Sittler's linemate on the London Knights and always wanted him as a Leaf to reunite with Sittler.

Damn!... that Leafs team from 78-79 had 3 of the NHL's top fighters with Maloney , Williams and Hutchison.

RIP
