You are absolutely right about that season and the playoffs, AV. Also, Ballard died between Games 4 and 5 of that series as I recall. He wasn't around much, if at all, that season though as I recall him being in a hospital in the Bahamas (?) for quite some time. I believe that he even lost control of the team before he died as Don Giffin was running things. The Leafs were one of the highest scoring teams in the league that season but they also gave up a lot of goals which caught up to them late in the season and in the playoffs.
