Mike Palmateer – Toronto Maple Leafs Goaltender 1976-1980 & 1982-84

When people talk about the greatest Leafs goaltenders of all-time, Mike Palmateer always seems to be underrated.

His first few seasons in Toronto were amazing and he was 5th in Hart trophy voting in 1979.

Unfortunately, Mike Palmateer suffered some bad injuries during the 1979-80 season and was never the same player.
