OK... maybe I don't get it... but I can't clarify Ballard had a lot of trouble firing people face to face. Stan Obodiac worked for Maple Leaf Gardens and once wrote a letter to the Toronto Star stating that Ballard was worthy of the Order of Canada. [10] The day of Obodiac’s funeral, Ballard had a Gardens employee go to his house and pick up his car. because I don't know what it means. Pick up Ballard's car? Pick up the dead guy's car? Pick up a company car that belonged to MLG/Ballard? What does this have to do with firing??? Someone please clarify this or I will just remove it.

I found this link as a just bare URL in the article after the first sentence under "Other Incidents and anecdotes". The link produced just a blank page from archive.org, but I've changed the link to the previously-archived copy which appears to have content that could be useful for anybody who wants to expand the article.
