Welcome to Maple Leafs by the Numbers! A series that was never started before and left unfinished, uh-uh no way. We’ll be counting down the numbers from 99-1 as we get closer to the 100th anniversary game, and picking which player performed the best under each number. Things don’t get really interesting for a couple weeks, so hang in there.
The 90’s have never been a very popular range for players to pick their number from. We all know Gretzky’s 99, but that was because 9 was taken when he started playing hockey and stil lwanted to honour Gordie Howe.
