How about those Leafs?


How about those Leafs, huh? Another season where the losers go home early to be the first in line at Costco! If my memory serves me right the last time the “Laffs” won the cup was way back in 1967… Let’s see what was happening in 1967 when the Leafs hoisted the Cup, shall we?


  • Rolling Stone and New York Magazine debut.

  • Hit movies are: The Graduate, Bonnie and Clyde, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?, In the Heat of the Night, Cool Hand Luke.

  • Top record album..(CD’s weren’t around… just vinyl) The Beatles, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

  • Microwave ovens weren’t invented yet.

  • Computers were only used by the military.

  • Bob Tapak was 47.

  • Coffee makers such as Mr. Coffee weren’t invented either… most folks drank instant or perked coffee.

  • Pat Burke was flipping teachers the bird at Assumption H.S.

  • Everyone knew what “counter clockwise” was… digital watches were not even thought of.

  • Gary Percy was tall & thin.

  • And last but not least: I was only 21/2 years old at the time… how time fly’s, huh?
