Leonard's playoff brilliance brings back Toronto sporting memories. MORE:

The Raptors star is averaging 38 points on 62 per cent shooting in an Eastern Conference semifinal tied at 2-2 after Leonard's 39-point effort in Toronto's Game 4 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.

The diminutive centre had 10 goals and 25 assists in 21 playoff games as the Leafs played three seven-game series — beating the Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues before falling to Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings in Game 7 of the conference final at Maple Leaf Gardens. Among Gilmour's highlights were the tying goal late in Game 7 against the Red Wings, a wraparound double overtime winner in Game 1 against St. Louis, a three-point effort in Game 7 versus the Blues and a two-goal, two-assist night during a win over L.A. in Game 1.

Flutie then was Grey Cup MVP as he led Toronto to a thrilling 43-37 win over the Edmonton Eskimos in a snowstorm in Hamilton. He passed for 302 yards and rushed for 98 more.CURTIS JOSEPH, 2001-02 MAPLE LEAFSIn the latter year, his stats were slightly better — a .914 save percentage and 2.30 goals-against average in 20 outings — as a Leafs team missing star Mats Sundin for 12 contests advanced to Game 6 of the league semifinals against the Carolina Hurricanes before being ousted.
