Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Maple Leafs' impressive rookie centre Don Ashby already has one of trademarks of an NHL veteran, a toothless grin. Rest of his NHL indoctrination is continuing in training camp and in pre-season play. This week, Ashby got first glimpse of Buffalo's Gil Perreault in full flight and found him just as elusive as he looked on TV back in Calgary. Yeah, we met, he told Star's Frank Orr . . . He didn't speak but his actions said 'welcome to National Hockey League, sonny.'
