Moar Trivia! 53 Questions!
OK - I'm going to cop out and recycle this one. No cheating by looking up the old thread. There are four freebies because I just asked them 10 minutes ago.
1. Bill Barilko's Game 5 OT goal to win the 1951 Stanley Cup was possible only because another Leaf scored with the goalie out in the last minute. Who scored to tie the game?

The goal scorer and the player in the box both became Leafs. Who were they?
28. With the Leafs killing a penalty in overtime in Game 6 of the 1993 Semi-Final, Wayne Gretzky famously high-sticked Gilmour, got away with it, then scored the winner. Who was in the box, having taken a brain-dead boarding penalty in the last minute of the third?

49. Who had the highest career point totals of all the players drafted by the Leafs?
50. Two 12th-round draft picks of the Leafs are now in NHL management - one is a very succesful GM, the other a rookie NHL head coach. Who are they?

52. Who scored to end the longest OT game in Leafs playoff history?
53. This player walked out on the Leafs after one too many run-ins with the coach. The day he quit, he met the team in a bar, where they all applauded him and congratulated him on standing up and getting out. In his autobiography, he had this line (paraphrased) - "That was my last moment as a professional hockey player - a standing ovation from the Toronto Maple Leafs." Who was he?

I remember reading about that a long time ago. IIRC, Lynn’s one game with the Rangers wasn’t listed on his career record, originally, but a researcher found the name “V. Lynn” on an old game-sheet and then got confirmation that Vic Lynn did in fact play in that game for the NY Rangers.

Note
I’m updating the thread with correct answers as I see them appear – at least until I go home….
Leaf, the universe and everything.
1. Tod Sloan scored the tying goal.
2. Eddie Johnston, he played all 70 games in 1963-64, the last goalie to play every game in the schedule. He did this as a Bruin. The Leafs had him in 1973-74 as part of a three man goalie rotation, Doug Favell and Dunc Wilson being the other two.

25 John Basset, Ballard and Stafford Smythe
27 I remember that crazy goal. I’m going to guess Berube was in the box and Krushelnyski scored the goal
28 Anderson!
30 9(?)
31 Imlach replaced Floyd Smith and I think was in turn replaced by Nykoluk (foggy memories)
33 John Anderson (although the one at Midland and Kingston Rd. no longer bears his name)
Bitter Leaf Fan: because sometimes there's no option but to be bitter...
Krusher scored it for sure. I can still see it on Don Cherry’s Rock ’em Sock ’em 2.

Kronwall?
it’s gotta be one of those guys that would have been drafted when there were still 9 or more rounds
Yes – Kronwall went 285th overall. That was a 9th-rounder.
Leafs had 2 11th rounders make it, but both were drafted before 285. Any idea who?

Can't read my own notes
berezin was 10/256 1994
Dempsey was 11/245 1992

#38
Jim Hughson
#48: Troy Murray
- Ken Holland and Pete deBoer
#36: 3 one-time Leafs won the Norris playing for other teams: Randy Carlyle/Al Iafrate/Pierre Pilote
Hughson, Murray and Holland/Deboer are correct.
There are 3 Leafs who won a Norris at one point, but Iafrate isn’t one of them. The other two are good.
Leaf, the universe and everything.
Sorry
meant to say #50: Ken Holland and Pete DeBoer
i’ve driven past that one a few times. apparently there’s also one in Guelph, just down the street from the now-defunct ‘china buffet king’ where i bussed tables for a while in university. i spent a lot of that time in a bit of a haze, so i can’t really recall if it was there then or not…
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
It was up at the north end, but it’s gone now.

#13
3 for certain – Blane Stoughton, Rick Kehoe, Lanny MacDonald. Are there more?
Stoughton was special because he had 3 50-goal seasons, each of which came after the Leafs traded/didn’t sign/didn’t claim him
Leaf, the universe and everything.
And to make matters worse...
the Leafs gave up Kehoe to acquire Stoughton from the Pens and then Kehoe went on to have his big years with the Pens. Talk about a kick in the pills
Pretty sure #21 is Frank McCool.
leaf fan stuck in ottawa, a localized black hole that will suck everything in that area to oblivion.
such a good name

Nope
Looked that one up, I remembered the 10-9 score, but Leafs actually lost it, to the Montreal Wanderers. But “Which team scored the most goals in an NHL game and still managed to lose it?” is more fitting for Leafs trivia anyway. (And Chicago tied the mark with a 12-9 loss to the Oilers around 1985)

You're right
I had successfully expunged that fiasco from memory, but it’s true, it really happened. A minor blip for us, but no doubt a memorable victory for you. Thanks for reminding me … or not.

It was ’62. Bower hurt his leg in Chicago in Game Four, and was done for the series. Simmons came in and did the job, especially in Game 6 which Leafs won 2-1 in Chicago Stadium in what had been a homer series to that point.
The China Wall played every playoff game in both 1963 and 1964, but in ’67 was again felled by an injury midway through the Finals that forced Terry Sawchuk to finish up.
