Quotables…
“Pride is about the ugliest trait somebody can have.” – Paul Henderson
“The first thing I would do when I saw Bobby coming down at me was to say a little prayer if I had time. I’m sure I’m not the only goalie who did that.” – Johnny Bower
Did you know… … The Maple Leafs were the last Stanley Cup winner during the original six era, winning the Cup just months before the league expanded to 12 teams. Expansion has not been good for the Leafs. After making the Finals in 22 of 50 seasons prior to expansion (13 Stanley Cups), they haven’t made the finals in 53 years since. … Assistant Manager Frank Selke’s Stanley Cup inscription for the 1944-45 Stanley Cup Champion Maple Leafs was hysterically shortened to F.J. SELKE (ASS MAN). … Goalie Lorne Chabot played in the two longest NHL games in history (4/8/33, 3/24/36). … In 1957, Gerry James, who played in the NHL and CFL simultaneously, played in the Grey Cup championship during the day and the Toronto Maple Leafs season opener in the evening. James is in the Canadian Football League Hall of Fame. … Toronto Maple Leafs Kirk Muller pranked teammate Tie Domi by soaking his hockey gear. Domi retaliated by putting Muller’s gear in the hot tub. However, Muller anticipated this and switched his gear with teammate Jamie Baker. … The Maple Leafs are one of 4 teams to retire the jersey number for multiple goalies. They are also the only team to retire a goalie’s number twice (#1 T. Broda, J. Bower). … Toronto Maple Leafs played both the last regular season game and last playoff game at Chicago Stadium during the spring of 1994. The Blackhawks played the last-ever game at Maple Leaf Gardens 2/13/99. … The Toronto Maple Leafs are nicknamed The Leafs and The Bay Street Bullies. When they played at the Air Canada Centre, it was known as The Hangar. … The 1st four-sided game clock was debuted at Maple Leaf Gardens in 1932. Chicago Stadium had the last four-sided game clock, using it through the end of the 1969-70 season. … The Maple Leafs were the 3rd team in NHL history to win their 3000th game when they defeated the Canadiens (the 1st team with 3,000 wins) 3-2 on 5/8/21 for their final win of the 2020-21 season. Mitch Marner scored the game-winner. |
