Ballard the mr potter of the nhl

He was the scapegoat behind the downfall while Jacques Lemaire was the true mastermind.

Maybe it's the Ballard Curse or maybe it's a collective curse of entitlement on the fans.
Every time someone speaks of the Leafs, there's an air of entitlement and a sense of national importance despite being six other teams in the country.
Sorry boys, the Leafs aren't Canada's team.

Ballard was the biggest jerk ever, younger Leaf fans have no idea how bad it was.

Wendal Clark loved him because Harold loved him.

Looking forward to this doc, he treated Barbara Frum like crap. I'm sorry but I hope he doesn't rest in peace, sorry.

He was the OG Lammy.

If the playoffs fail fill the Gardens with a new venue . Simple . He didnt need the Leafs to make extra profit . Remember the second ww 2 generation .

He is just a regular easterner.
