Damion Cox covers 40 years of Maple Leaf politics on his blog.
It seems back in the 1960s, Stafford Smythe and Harold Ballard pushed out John Bassett, then Ballard pushed out the Smythes, then when Ballard died Steve Stavros outmaneuvered Don Giffen who had brought in Cliff Fletcher, then Stavros dumps Fletcher for Ken Dryden who brought in Pat Quinn, then Quinn outmaneuvered Dryden, then Larry Tennenbaum pushed out Stavros, then Tennenbaum brings in Ferguson, then Ferguson pushes out Quinn.
Wow that would make a great TV mini-series. So now John Muckler may be brought on board to continue the boardroom antics. Meanwhile the Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund keeps making money.
