Jacques Plante put together a season for the ages in '70-'71 with the Leafs. Plante posted a record of 24-11-4 with 4 so's, 1.88 gaa, and most impressively a .942 save %! That save % is the highest single season save % of ALL TIME! The only reason Thomas has the official record is b/c they didn't keep track of save % back then. Plante .942 Thomas .938
this year and the next are my favorite hockey seasons for watching the leafs. If only they could have held it together for a couple of years by keeping Parent!
@durresjan so true...i can still hear my father yelling at Mckenney and Dorrie giving up the puck in their own end...and Ellis missing a wide open net....AGAIN. Loved those days. I never liked those leaf Uniforms...my faves were from 66/67...amazing how you can hear individual voices in the crowd yelling...I loved the breaks where there would be an Esso or CN add with those simple white graphic and you could hear the buzz of the crowd in the background.

without the give-away, we wouldn't have had a Plante GOD moment with his left foot.

Good to see Jim McKenney do one of his notorious give-aways.
