I was anticipating an excellent doc from a great Canadian, Jason Priestley. Jason and Michael Geddes used archives and interviews in my opinion to almost perfection. And the controversial inclusion of Alan Eagleson gave impartiality that a person like Ballard needed.
I like how they went to the Leaf greats from the past and didn't use middling players. I think it was very wise not to mention the abuse from the 70's and 80's that happened but wasn't mentioned.
I came away from this with the same opinion I went in with. A very flawed, morally bankrupt, yet charitable and very polarizing figure. You won't be disappointed. CG.
