Fun fact

Scored an NHL-record 10 points in a single game on February 7, 1976, a feat that has never been matched.

The verdict

Hockey legend who set records that still make Canadians misty-eyed — including a 10-point game that remains untouched. Wore the Maple Leaf as Toronto's captain for the better part of a decade before finishing his career in Philadelphia and Detroit. A true icon who embodies what it means to bleed blue and white, even after the trade.
