It is a sad week for Leafs' nation, as the news of Rodion Amirov's passing is still fresh, and more sad news has been reported.
Bob Baun Passes
Per Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun, legendary Leafs Defenceman Bob Baun passed away on Monday evening at the age of 86.
Friends of the great Bob Baun have posted on Facebook that the legendary Leaf defenceman died last night at age 86. He has been in poor health in recent months. Story to come.

Baun's Legacy
Baun was a tough defenceman, despite his smaller size, recording over 1400 career penalty minutes. He scored 37 goals and 187 assists in 964 career games. He played for the Leafs from 1956-1967, and then again from 1970-1973, winning 4 Stanley Cups with the club.
Baun scored the game-winning goal in game 6 of the 1964 Stanley Cup finals to win the Leafs their third consecutive Stanley Cup and did so on a broken ankle.
Our condolences are with the Baun family.
