There are many differences between the 1967 champions and today’s Maple Leafs Globe_Sports
Depth on the roster, which drew some criticism from current Leafs head coach Mike Babcock earlier this week, is an issue with his team just as it was in 1967. One of the reasons the 1967 Leafs hit the skids was injuries and one of the reasons they recovered was a few of the youngsters stepped up.
The Leafs ended the streak with a tie and then posted a couple of wins by mid-February but they were still a tired and hurting group. That is when Imlach, 48, was hospitalized with chest pains – the first signs of heart trouble that would plague him the rest of his life. “Usually with Punch our practices were about an hour,” Stemkowski said. “Maybe 10 minutes with the puck and about 40 minutes of up-and-down sprints. If [Imlach] didn’t like a line rush, when a pass went awry, he would say, ‘Put the pucks in the net and let’s start skating around the ice.’
“He said ‘Stemkowski you go to centre’, he goes ‘Pappin you go right side and Pully why don’t you go left side over there?’ ” Stemkowski said. “There it was, Pulford, me and Pappin. We happened to click.”
