Two of the most polarizing players in history for the Nucks on the ice here. One the most beloved and the other the most maligned to say the least lol.
12:32 12:53 13:40 14:01 14:55 Edmonton Oilers have been a really great Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup, and they’ll win their 6th Stanley Cup soon this year!
Because getting footage from the 1930s and 1940s is difficult. I did find newsreel footage of the last game of the 1949 finals but it was missing Toronto's 2nd goal that became the cup winning goal.
Watching the old school goalies with no helmet or pads makes my butthole pucker. BTW.. AVS fan... In my bracket, we (Boston) is playing you in the cup final this year. I don't recall any time that we played each other for the cup? It would be a good matchup.
Interesting to watch the equipment progression. Hard to believe that goalies didn't start wearing masks until the early 70s and the majority of players wearing helmets in the early 80s
Bill Barilko disappeared that summer. He was on a fishing trip. The last goal he ever scored won the Leafs the cup. They didn't win another till 1962. The year he was discovered.
