If ever anyone deserved to have their number retired league wide it's Johnny Bower. To his family I would say thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with us. He gave so much of his time to us that I'm sure we stole a lot of that life from his loved ones and we love him too. So thank you for letting us have a bigger piece of him than I am sure we deserve. We love you Johnny and all you did for the game we love. May you rest in peace.
and if his passing happens the year they win a cup again it will be even more bitter sweet. People will forget by then but it would be a nice send off.
Just learned of Johnny Bower's death. Had tears in my eyes watching the vid. Watched Bower help win the last four Stanley Cups ['62, '63, '64, '67] for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Thanx for this. BUDAPEST • 13:13 2017 DECEMBER 30 • • • • • • • • • • •

i have a photo of johnny and myseif , I proudly show it to kids (40 - 45 and younger)that don't remember who he was, but when I tell them he was in net, when the leafs last won the cup,(they remember then!!) and that the picture was taken while having a beer together , they look on with envy ...... yeah . me and johnny!!!! =)
If he saw the goaltending in the NHL these days, he'd be appalled. He'd see technically unsound floppers in oversized pads that have ruined goaltending. I'm sure he'd ask the league to sort this mess out. These days, shoot high and it's in. I started following the Leafs in 1957 when my family moved to Toronto. Johnny sure could teach these floppers a thing or two.

Him and Howe are the definition of Saskatchewan. When you hear them talk you hear generations of us. Great man he was.

I’m here because I’m Reading Johnny Bowers book , The China Wall. A great read. That’s coming from a life long Boston Bruins Fan. 62 years of age.
Amazing hockey player. And person. I met him two times. And kids got photo with him. He will truly be miss. R.i.p

God loves him Johnny had a good life!
Johnny and Gordie lie in peaceful slumber. Two fantastic friends awaiting their resurrection. Johnny was a humble and genuinely kind man.

RIP The China Wall
Rest In Peace Johnny Bauer

Does anyone else think the Great Johny Bower looks like Wallace Beery ? How JB will be missed
