Quirky fact:
Toronto is the only original six team to not have a player win the Norris trophy while playing with them.

You are correct willus...

Many of the great Leaf defence were up against the leagues best when they were in their prime.

1960 Allan Stanley 2nd to Doug Harvey
1963 Carl Brewer 2nd to Pierre Pilot
1964 Tim Horton 2nd to Pierrie Pilot
1969 Tim Horton 2bd to Bobby Orr
1977 Borje Salming 2nd to Larry Robinson
1980 Borje Salming 2nd to Larry Robinson

After 1980 the Leafs never really had a top Defeneceman that was in his prime...

Interesting.

I knew Salming had finished second twice to Robinson (no shame there), but I was real certain Tim Horton had won the Norris a couple of times! That sure doesn't seem right . . . and who the heck is Pierre Pilot?
