Former Leaf D-man, Brian Glennie has passed away, at 73.

He will forever be remembered for his open ice hip checks that would up end an opponent.

and for this hilarious commercial:


 
After a great hip check at The Gardens against a Red Wing, Dan Maloney (then a Red Wing and with that silly helmet) jumped Brian. He suckered him and then proceeded to bang his helmet free head off the ice
until the refs jumped in. When Maloney (also dead) was brought in by Ballard to the Leafs Brian said trade me immediately.
 
The Leafs could sure use a Brian Glennie type right now. RIP.
