Jason Priestley discute d’un film sur l’ancien propriétaire des Maple Leafs, Harold Ballard | Tim et ses amis
Le réalisateur Jason Priestley et le producteur Mike Geddes ont rencontré Jesse Rubinoff pour parler de leur nouveau documentaire sur le hockey « Offside : The Harold Ballard Story ».
Having lived through that era as a young person I can honestly say that he was hated by every Leaf fan i knew. We could not wait for his passing as we knew that some form of normalcy could return. The leafs were a complete joke thanks to that stupid imbecile, and Leaf fans resented him. Hope he’s enjoying his money now.
Jason Priestley punched out Harvey Weinstein. Just wanted to throw that out there lol A very interesting topic for a documentary I'll definitely check it out.
I'm a lifelong Leafs fan …..over 50 years! I remember well enough the mismanagement Harold inflicted upon the team. My dad was involved in the annual Toronto Maple Leafs calendar for Mcdonald Tobacco Ltd. He was a straight shooter, and he hated Harold. He'd always say that he was an * hole!! It's such a shame that he ran the team into the ground, and it's taken decades to recover from. He turned generations of Torontonians into fans of other teams. I used to hate seeing hordes of people sitting in the seats cheering for Chicago, Boston, Montreal, and others. Thank God he's gone!!!

yeah Ballard was a horrible owner, BUT his teams in the 70's and 80's had a lot of great players and WON a lot of PLAYOFF series
Ballard is Dan Snyder on steroids
He is the reason the Leafs haven’t won a cup since 67. If any other person were in charge on the rate the Leafs were on would have had at least 1 or 2
"How does a guy like Harold Ballard, you know, remain in power for so long"
"Well, you see he had bought ownership of the team, and didn't decide to sell it"

April 11, 1990. One of the best days in Leafs history. The day that POS finally died and went to hell.
SIDE NOTE: Really want to see this, JP is a good guy and heart on his sleeve Canadian. 🇨🇦
Rest in piss, Ballard.
Did he get Keon to participate? That would be the guy to talk to
in spite of Ballard we had some great teams in the 70’s
