On Saturday afternoon a vertiable lineup of personalities, Hall of Famers and role players alike, suited up for the Maple Leafs-Red Wings alumni game at BMO Field a part of the Centennial Classic festivities.
The Leafs’ roster was comprised of five Hall of Famers: Lanny McDonald, Mike Gartner, Borje Salming, Darryl Sittler and Doug Gilmour.
Detroit’s bench was seven Hall of Famers deep: Nicklas Lidstrom, Igor Larionov, Dino Ciccarelli, Chris Chelios, Larry Murphy, Paul Coffey, and current Leafs president Brendan Shanahan.
Mike Palmateer made a sprawling save on Tomas Holmstrom on a penalty shot in the first period.
