GRETZKY AT 6 POINTS IN 1980

I could watch archival NHL (National Hockey League) games all evening. This one is from the 1979-80 season -- March 24th, 1980 -- and features Wayne Gretzky as he sees if he's really made for the big leagues or not...

Man, the Toronto Maple Leafs sucked even way back then? I had no idea... thought it a recent phenomena.

Fun times: Bill Hewitt (son of Foster) was the CBC Hockey Night in Canada play-by-play announcer for "Leafs" games, and his trusty colour commentator side-kick was ex Philadelphia Flyer Gary Dornhoefer.

Is that Ron Low in nets for the Edmonton Oilers? He used to be a Leaf goaltender a few years earlier.
