Baun Passes
On August 14th the Toronto Maple Leafs and hockey community lost Bobby Baun.
Baun was a part of four different Stanley Cup-winning teams, including the 1967 Toronto Maple Leafs.
Cherry's Lesson From Baun
After hearing the news of Baun's passing, Don Cherry took to social media to share his condolences. He also revealed the lesson Baun taught him.
This is one of the most valuable lessons one can learn in hockey as some players will be out to get you while others will avoid contact. Baun was one of those players who sought out contact and never passed up a chance to lay a hit.
While physicality and fighting is phasing out of hockey, there are still players and personalities who remember the older days where you could get away with just about anything.
