we didn't really get much hockey here till the 90s. I think I knew more Canadian players as a five year old in USSR than as a teenager in US
I liked Vaive a little bit but those Leaf teams he captained in the 80's were absolutley fucking putrid. I mean they were fucking awful. I remember when Edmonton would come to town and Gretzky would routinely score 4 goals alone and the Oilers would put at least 7 in the Leafs net.
 
I grew up playing street hockey with a game-used Pierre Mondou stick. My dad still has it somewhere, the blade is about half gone from scraping against the pavement.

Mondou won three Cups with the Habs and he had three 30-goal seasons. Then Ulf Samuelsson hit him in the eye with his stick and that was that.
