""My late wife Wendy had kept her tickets from that game, so I have those which is pretty special, and a program from that night," he said."
""I guess when it first happened, I never realized the magnitude or how long it would last," Sittler said. "I often felt in the late 70s, early 80s when Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux were having their careers, getting 200 points a year, I thought they were the guys to break it. They both had eight a few times.""
""Here we are, 50 years coming up. I was proud to do it in a Leafs uniform against an original six team in the Boston Bruins," he said. "It's nice, a lot of people obviously weren't around 50 years ago, but it's nice to bring it to the limelight. There's been a lot of nice things happen between no"
Darryl Sittler met fans at Sherway Gardens in Etobicoke and signed merchandise. He keeps personal memorabilia including his first NHL contract, the puck from his first goal, and a game-worn London Knights jersey from the 1960s. His late wife Wendy preserved her tickets and a program from the February 7, 1976 game. Sittler recorded six goals and four assists that night for a ten-point total against the Boston Bruins. Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux each had eight-point games but no one has surpassed ten. Sittler expressed pride in achieving the mark in a Maple Leafs uniform and noted upcoming 50th anniversary celebrations.
