I remember when Mario used to just stop putting cheese and gravy on his fries to get prepared for the season. I guess when ya have that much natural talent ya dont have to do the off ice work. Could you imagine though how much more dominant he would have been had he done the off ice work back then that the kids are doing today.

I know a guy like that
odds of winning the lottery
A vivid explanation of why it’s a bad idea to play the lottery:
[Y]our chances of hitting one of these jackpots is about the same as being eaten by a tiger and a shark on the same day.
That’s from Tax.com’s David Brunori, on a potential deal to allow states run both Powerball lotteries and Mega Millions lotteries.
Anyone know if these probabilities are literally equal? I have not been able to find the likelihood that a member of the general public will get eaten by a tiger. (Shark attack probability is here. Powerball and Mega Millions odds are here and here, respectively.)
Oh god so much Irony. "Golf is a must". Still true for the Leafs today!
Seriously though, the NHL back then was a boys club. There were few teams with little competition for roster spots. Most teams had the same roster every year. Training and game development were minimal because that was their comformt zone.
check out this book its really good. Its about the NHL expansion.
The NHL back then was about keeping a close knit few clubs who passed the Stanley cup around between them, with Chicago and NY getting very few. The GM's and players wanted to keep it that way and were seriously opposed to expansion
Kind of sad really. Also if you watch the NBC documentary on the 72 summit series it also talks about players being out of shape and playing an outdated hockey system.
