Rick Vaive. Rick Vaive swore at Coach Maloney the day before at practice and this was the payback.
Jeff Brubaker. The tough winger was claimed off waivers from Edmonton in October, and quickly became a fan favorite scoring 8 goals. Terry Martin was dumped at his expense.
Dan Maloney. Former Leaf player Dan Maloney guided the Leafs to 48 points, and last overall in his first of two seasons as coach. He was a hard-nosed coach and most of the Leafs were used to the easy-going Mike Nykoluk.
John Anderson. Anderson got 14 goals in his last 10 games to end the season. Only 3 of them were scored in the first period. Ironically, these were his last 10 games as a Leaf.

|
Allan Bester and Ken Wregget. This appears to be the first time in NHL history that two goalies so young started the season together. The reason this never happened before is that it doesn't work. Both Wregget and Bester were in St. Catherines (AHL) by December '84.
