Every player on the Leaf
roster has been instructed

contents of these heart-to-

,revealled by Ed.
The first player Ed took in
.his confidence was goalie"
Dave"_Williams. He told the
netminder that if' he wanted
to keep his team in the game
.he had to' learn 'how-to-stop-

was • having trouble- keeping
his stick' on the ice, and was
