April 23, 1964: With the score tied 3-3 late in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final at Detroit, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Bob Baun took a slap shot on his skate and dropped to the ice in pain. After freezing and taping the injury, he returned for overtime and scored the winning goal at 2:43 of the extra period. Baun played in the series finale and did not miss a shift as Toronto won the Cup. The following day, x-rays confirmed what Baun had known all along: that the ankle was in fact broken.
