NHL history...

"Bashin" Bill Barilko of the Toronto Maple Leafs beat Montreal Canadiens,with an overtime shot,in a series that went to Toronto,in five games,in 1950-1951... all games of the series went into overtime... in summer(August) 1951,Barilko died on fishing trip,in a plane crash... his body was not found until 1962... ironic twist of fate,Maple Leafs did not win another Stanley Cup,until 1962,when they won three in a row,from 1962 to 1964...1964 was the last year that Toronto won the Stanley Cup,up to this day... he was born,in Timmons,Ontario,Canada....
