I think Gord has an amazing ability to absorb information and re-organise it into a song......I don't think he puts too much research to it. I think he is just plain clever.
Bill Barilko actually went missing in 1951, 4 months after he scored the winning goal that gave the Leafs the 1951 Stanley Cup. He was on his way home from a fishing trip when the plane he was on disappeared. His fellow players refused to believe he was gone and actually kept his equipment in the same locker in the dressing room at the beginning of the next season's training camp. In 1962 the plane was finally found along with him and his friend (the pilot). That year was the next time the leafs won the cup.
