Mahovlich was a leader. He went to the Habs on my 5th birthday and was the key to them beating the defending champion Bruins and eventually the Cup. People still talk about that trade today. The Habs traded a future 50 goal scorer in Mickey Redmond to Detroit to get the Big M so it's not like it...

My late uncle was a big mucky-muck with RBC. Back in the late 70's some Australian bigwig was in Toronto for dealings with RBC and he wanted...
Doesn't make sense to you, because in his place, like any fan, you'd play for free. But the reality is that playing hockey is Marner's JOB. Bucks before pucks.
It's not a La-Z-Boy barcalounger or anything. It looks like a normal leather easy chair but it declines. It also has a USB port so you can charge your phone.
