Absolute stud and one of my favourite Maple Leafs! Should be in the HHOF.

He was outside of his prime when he got here but he was still a pretty great player and was instrumental in the 2002 run. How he’s not in the HHOF by now is beyond me. Even if we accept that the committee doesn’t want to induct Russians due to the war in Ukraine, that doesn’t excuse the prior years Mogilny was eligible and got snubbed.
The guy was a weapon.
Got to see him in person playing with the Leafs. Definitely a special player.
Mats Sundin lead the Leafs in points 8 years in a row before Mogilny showed up in the 2002-03 season (he would’ve had 13 years in a row as point leader if not for Mogilny). Just goes to show you how good he was even as an older player for the Leafs. Even put him down as my favourite player on the back of those minor league hockey picture day trading cards as a 9-year-old lmao
Best interviewee of his day. Man, he could give reporters fits.
He was an absolute stud. That line of him, Robert’s, and Sundin was deadly
Dude was streaky as fuck, but when he came to play, boy shit could he put on a show!

Contract year Mogilny was something to behold.
I wore 89 growing up playing hockey and lacrosse because of this beauty. Still got a leaf jersey with his name on it in my closet.
Mogilny’s wrist shot > Matthews’ wrist shot
still the best
Shayne Corson here… Mogilny was an incredible player. His wife was great too.
It’s a joke to me that they won’t induct him because of his Nationality being Russian. He’s got zero to do with that and his contribution to hockey outweighs this whole conflict. I could see if he was out there trumpeting Russia propaganda but I don’t think that he is.
This guy was near the end of his career when he was here. To this day, he is *still* one of the most talented Leafs I have ever seen in my lifetime. He was incredible.
