Zezel was one of my fave Leafs back in the early 90’s when we came oh-so-close to ending the drought.
No a big D-man – especially by today’s standards – but was a tough checker who held his own against larger players.
I remember reading about his rare and horrible disease a few years back. It was, by all accounts, really tough on the guy… especially the meds that he had to take to control the disease – which caused massive weight gain. For an ex-pro athlete, losing control of your body like that must have been hellish.
So long Peter, Leaf Nation mourns your loss.
