- Kevin O'Leary (Judge on ABC's "Shark Tank" & Chairman, O'Leary Funds) talks about working for CBC's Hockey Night in Canada and being the runner between the producer of the show and infamous Toronto Maple Leaf's owner Harold Ballard. Hilarious!

I heard good and bad stories about Ballard, but the bad ones outweighed the good. Single-handedly put the Leafs in constant turmoil for decades.
Ballard was the worst example of a human being. No wonder this guy 'loved' him, it takes one to know one. Ballard ran a wonderful franchise into the ground. O'Leary would like that. LOSER!!
The leafs paid the price of Ballard's bullshit even years after he died
Yep, Ballard literally ran players out of town. Just a scum bag human being.
The fact he likes Ballard tells you everything you want to know.
Ballard turned the Leafs and Gardens into a joke, a real shame he was allowed to own them.
Wonderful words , Kevin.
Terrific story 👏
"Huge personality"...with the hockey mind of a stroke victim. Glad YOU loved him Kevin because nobody else did. Not surprised you would though.
No, it’s not surprising Kevin would like him.
The Bunker was in the southwest corner of the Gardens.
Amazing story love it 👍🇨🇦
Every time he got ill in old age the price of Maple Leaf stock went up expecting his death
And it went down when he got better.
"i love that (racist) man!"
He didn't like Russians (Soviets) for their political ideology, not as a race.
@@leafyutube he was racist tho, many quotes of him saying racist stuff
@@lowt-cityortega490 and that was the least of his flaws.
O'Leary's views are typical of a guy who "knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing." The mere fact that Ballard had power impresses him greatly; he's seem even more impressed his used that power arbitrarily and capriciously. The fact that Ballard's flexing caused chaos and undermined his team's prospect doesn't faze him.
Donald Trump of hockey...
Did he also teach you boating safety?
In the court of public opinion.!
😂
Good one
Anybody who loves Ballard is just as big as an ego manic as Ballard is….both these guys worship money & their egos! No real character….its all about the money! Harold Ballard/Kevin O’Leary are both GOOFS (Mistake of a human being)
Only you would like the guy you goof!
I understand hockey fans not liking him, but SOME aspects of his character were admirable. After WWII & during cold war, the mentality of people was different. The idea of paying people to play sports may have even sounded comical. Nothing wrong with Kevin admiring someone he worked with for ~3 years.
