6. Bobby Orr once played for the Toronto Marlies.
Hockey Legend Bobby Orr never played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he did play for the Toronto Marlies. It was just one time and it was an exhibition game. On December 14, 1965, the Oshawa Generals loaned him to the Marlies. Orr played for the Marlboros – Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) Junior A All-Stars which competed against the Russian National Team. Even with Orr on the team, the Russian’s won 4-3.
7. The Leafs had a D-man skate 35 minutes in a single game.
On April 11, 2006, Tomas Kaberle set a Maple Leafs record that stands as the 21st highest time on ice total for a single game in NHL history by a skater. That day, Kaberle played exactly 35 minutes in an overtime victory against the Florida Panthers.
Bryan McCabe was Kaberle’s long time defense partner. As such, it’s not surprising that McCabe owns the second highest time on ice record behind Kaberle’s. He has the 25th most by a skater in NHL history. On November 27, 2007, McCabe played against the Canadiens for 34:53.
8. Two Maple Leafs scored within the first seven seconds of their games.
Two Leafs have done the improbable. In 1932 Charlie Conacher did something only to be repeated by Mitch Marner in 2019. That was scoring a goal in the first seven seconds of a hockey game. The Leafs won their game when Conacher scored but lost when Marner did.
The next fastest goal was scored by Ted Kennedy in 1953. It took him eight seconds to light the lamp. The NHL record is owned by four players who scored in just the first five seconds of their respective games.
