In what is considered one of the greatest hockey games ever played, the final game of the series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins was decided in overtime when Bill Barilko scored the winning goal. The score was 3-3 after two periods of play and then Barilko pushed a loose puck over the line with 4.6 seconds left on the clock for his first career hat trick and victory for the Maple Leafs. The game has been called by some as the "Game Seven" because it represented the final chance for both teams to win the championship. It is also known as "The Broad Street Champsipi Game" in Philadelphia due to a street named after the city that the B's call home. The Maple Leafs were appearing in their third straight finals game and were not going to be denied this time around.
Toronto has won more than any other Canadian team with 13 titles, followed by the Montreal Canadiens with 24 championships. The Chicago Black Hawks, Detroit Red Wings, and Vancouver Canucks each have three.
The Maple Leaf Gardens franchise was founded in 1917 and originally called the St. Patricks.
