Original Toronto Star caption: 2000 What? A big mystery; as Sovier Union's national hockey team checks in at Montreal's Queen Elizabeth Hotel; is label 'Toronto 2000' on many of players' travel bags. Could that be place and date for anticipated winning of first Stanley Cup? Or is that how many games they think they could win over Maple Leafs?
