Hi-lites from the February 11, 1967 hockey match between the Leafs & the Hawks. The Leafs end a 10 game losing streak in this spirited game. This match is from the Leafs last Stanley Cup winning season. After the ten game losing streak the Leafs went 10 games without losing a game!
In those days CBC kept one camera on a close-up of the net and if there was a scoring chance they would cut quick to it but you would miss part of the play. HD TV allows the entire play to be seen without having to do that.

Freezing the puck along the boards was an awful rule.

@Lava1964 Thats a good point about Morris' delivery...he did use just surnames back then...he would of course later change this to use first and last names followed by a repeat announcement using just surnames e.g. "Toronto goal scored by #16 Mike Walton assist to #7 Tim Horton...the time 3:14...Walton from Horton at 3:14".

@ldhorricks Yeah, my mistake. I always get Paul Morris' name wrong.

The team that led the NHL at the end of the regular season won the Prince of Wales Trophy. A beautiful trophy, but irrelevant in that the real prize everyone wanted was the Stanley Cup. That year the Chicago Black Hawks won the Prince of Wales Trophy, but the Toronto Maples Leafs, in a real surprise upset, won the Stanley Cup.

@WoodyAllenNY Away teams wore whites until the 70/71 season...the main reason the league switched to home whites back then came from the producer of hockey night in Canada that felt that it was more interesting for Canadian hockey fans to see the more colorful dark uniforms of visiting teams during HNIC broadcasts. Since during the reg season either Toronto or Mtl or both almost always played a home Saturday night game and Canada by far had the largest TV audience the league agreed to it.

@Lava1964 I agree re the tie..cant stand the shoot-out and OT should be kept for the playoffs...nothing wrong with a tie on the road.
