Former Maple Leaf tough guy Bob McGill suffered a pair of strokes on Thursday, but was resting and being monitored in a Peterborough hospital. The second stroke has impaired his speech. “It is unfathomable to think of a man in that peak condition in a hospital bed struggling,” said Hendrick. A defenceman, McGill had 1,766 penalty minutes in 705 games from 1981 to 1994. He joked how proud he was that in a season with so many Leaf rookies, none would beat his record: Most penalty minutes by a rookie on one season (263).
