This day in 1976 Darryl Sittler sets an NHL record with 10 points in a game: six goals and four assists

In elementary school we had been taught a nifty trick to remember some of our multiplication tables. Some of the answers were associated with the Toronto Maple Leaf hockey players. For instance 7x3 was 21(Borje Salming), 2X11 was 22(Rick Vaive) and 9x3 was 27(Darryl Sittler).

Many years later I end up working for a catering company that looked after the private boxes at Maple Leaf Gardens. One of my duties was to check the President/GM's office and ensure he had all the required beverages. Who would I see daily next to the photocopier but 9x3 himself, Darryl Sittler. Hey 9x3 how's it going? Well I missed the opportunity to ask..I've had many missed opportunities.
