Piece of Toronto Maple Leafs? glorious past or elaborate fraud? Wally Stanowski insists teammate Howie Meeker?s five-goal game was a work of fiction

I read this article a while back, forgot to post it here, finally got around to it.  It's worth a read, I think.

First thing that came to mind was that Meeker's goals were fluke ones.  Then again Stanowski seems quite adamant about Meeker's on-ice contributions for that game in question.

Why did Stanowski wait so long to come out with this?

Pretty much all old people are lonely.  People asked him questions, he answered them.  If he was trying to cause crap he'd be reaching out to talk, instead of answering people calling on him.  Certainly it sounds like there's some old evidence to back him up.

And when people get that old, more often than not they don't give a crap about saying something controversial anymore.

Wait. I AM old
