JOHNNY BOWER:
His career would be hampered by poor eyesight, but despite that he remained a top-tier goaltender. He was known for his hard-nosed, scrappy playing style and would win another Stanley Cup in 1967 by tandeming with another Hall of Famer (Terry Sawchuk). He is the 2nd oldest goalie to play in the Stanley Cup Final at age 42 years, 5 months, 13 days. ( Lester Patrick}. Bower claimed, "I wasn't all that glad to see the two-goalie system come in. I wanted to play as many games as I could." But Bower and Sawchuk shared the Vezina Trophy as best NHL netminder in 1964–65. His last full season was 1968–69. In 1969, Johnny became the oldest goaltender to appear in a Stanley Cup playoffs, at 44 years, 5 months, and 28 days. He played a final game in the fall of 1969 and on March 19, 1970, Johnny announced his official retirement - four months after his forty-fifth birthday. When asked, in light of his retirement, if he might reveal his true age, he replied "If you don't know by now, you never will".

DARRYL SITTLER:
In his first season as captain, finished the season with 41 goals and 59 assists, being the first Leaf ever to reach the 100 point mark. A few months later, Sittler tied the playoff record for most goals in one game, with five against Philadelphia. That summer, in the inaugural Canada Cup, he scored in overtime to win the final series for Team Canada over Czechoslovakia.
In 1977–78, his 117 points ranked him third in regular season scoring behind Guy Lafleur and Bryan Trottier, and also earned Sittler a Second Team All-Star selection. During the playoffs, the Leafs upset the New York Islanders in the quarter-finals, winning in overtime during game seven, before being swept by the Montreal Canadiens in the Conference finals.
