For comparison sake, I looked up the Leafs all-time playoff goal scorer. Turns out the record is also 34 (Wendel Clark). Even with shorter rounds during the glory years of the 1940s and 1960s and the decades of playoff woes I would have thought someone would have scored more.

Bunting suspended 3 games.

1 for the hit
1 for being Bunting
1 for being a Leaf

The Original 6 were more like the Original 3 - Boston, Chicago, and the Rangers were pretty much fodder for the Habs, Leafs, and Wings. During the entire 25 year stretch that comprised the O6 Era (42/43 through 66/67), the Rags won 1 playoff series and missed the postseason altogether 18 times. No mean feat!

Soft refs.

Trying to eject fans from the crowd for shouting at players in the penalty box? If they're not throwing things or banging on the glass, what's wrong with that?


Multiple fights in this one too!
