The Toronto Maple Leafs have breezed through the first two rounds of the playoffs and meet the Buffalo Sabres as their next opponent in the Eastern Conference Final.
Despite being led by third-year centre Randy Logan, already considered a premiere player in the League, the Leafs are a team in turmoil. With tycoon owner Frank Conder, embattled GM Phil Stevenson, bombastic and negative coach Ernie Taylor, the front office is a war-zone of sub-plots and ulterior motives.
Randy and his grandfather Stub Logan, part-time advisor and full time guardian, have become the most famous citizens of their hometown, Bluestone, Ontario. Stub is a backwoods philosopher, the man who often takes on the role of small-town hick to bring city-slickers down to earth. Both contribute their level-headed attitudes, opinions, and humourous, homespun observations to the rough, rowdy, and at times cruel world of NHL hockey.
