The greatest Leaf ever ?

[stever]

Jim Korn... End of Story

 

[Argocock]

For me its a toss up. I can't decide between Bill Derlago, Bob Manno, Dan Doust or Walt Podubny. I might just have to randomly choose 2 of them and flip a coin, and I'd still have made a good decision.

 

[Argocock]

Sorry, how could I forget Mirko Frycer.

 

[shack]

John Kordic. Case closed.

Motor City Smitty- Brad Smith

 

[The Bandit]

Jiri Crha, Stan Weir, Trevor Johansen, Jack Valiquette, Jimmy Jones, Jerry Butler....

Jimmy Jones

Jiri Crha, Stan Weir, Trevor Johansen, Jack Valiquette, Jimmy Jones, Jerry Butler....

No need to snicker about Jimmy Jones. His playoff exploits vs. the Islanders in '78 were something special.

Jonas Hoglund greatest to wear the blue and white.

You could probably qualify that by saying the best Leaf you've ever "seen", but trust me, he's nowhere close to the best Leaf ever.

Some players I never saw but who probably qualify for consideration would be Syl Apps, Ted Kennedy and before them Charlie Conacher who I believe may have been the last Leaf to win the scoring title.

Best Leafs ever (chronologically):

Conacher
Horton
Keon
Sittler
Salming
Sundin

Honourable mention:
Apps
Kennedy
Mahovlich
Clark
Gilmour

I believe Gordie Drillon was the last Leaf to win the scoring title.

Ya, he had them drinking kool aid instead of Gatorade!

"Spinner"

No one epitomizes the Leaf franchise like Brian "Spinner" Spencer. The fans loved him. He met a tragic end, a wasted life of unfufilled promise.

 

[Papi Chulo]

Grant Fuhr
Michel Laroque
Ian Turnbull


Mike Palmateer

I don't think anyone mentioned Dougie Gilmour

Claire Alexander "the milkman from Orillia".
