Your choices for best Leafs are VERY surprising. You have a page dedicated to MR. BARILKO & he's not even in your top 5. How can that be? Frank Mahovlich - you're kidding. A good player but not in my top 15!

Admittedly, I found it very difficult ranking players I've only read about or seen in historical footage. I fell in love with the Leafs in the very early 80s when Rick Vaive and John Anderson were providing most of the offense. My Mahovlich ranking was based on what I've read and the opinions of others I trust.
As for Bill Barilko not making my top five, it's "best" Leafs and not "favourite" Leafs. Barilko is a legend for a single goal and one goal does not an all-time best make. This is why Paul Henderson is not in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
