As a Maple Leafs fan that is old enough to remember the "Harold Ballard" years, I agree that the players come and go. Sittler, McDonald, Vaive, Palmateer, Wregget, Salming were some of my favourites as a kid and they all left the Leafs one way or another. Heck, I cried the day Wendel Clark was traded after the 93/94 season..
As far as what my favourite teams have taught me.. The Colts (talking about the Harbaugh years) taught me that no matter the challenge always get up and try again. I loved Harbaugh, cause he would get smacked around be the defense every play, but still get up and call another play.
Sports have taught me a lot about life, and it's always been a big part of my life.
162 game avg; .273 batting average, 3 HR's, 55 RBI, .706 OPS, 15 stolen bases. Put simply, the guy had worse numbers than Jose Offerman, yet he is in the Hall of Fame. Whereas, the only way Jose Offerman gets into Cooperstown, is if he becomes the night-shift janitor.
Still on this huh? The Sam Gagner performance was way better.. Only 16 players in NHL history have scored 8 points in a game and last time it was done was in 1989.
