March 30: On this day in 1944…

On this day in 1944, the Montreal Canadiens bombarded the hapless Leafs 11-0. It was the worst beating the Laffs have ever endured in the playoffs. The Canadiens set a record that has never been equaled of 7 goals in one period. The also took the pleasure of knocking the Laffs out of the playoffs on that night. What a way to go. Those Leafs – no pride whatsoever. In nets for the Leafs was Paul Bibeault who actually belonged to the Canadiens but was on loan to Toronto because the Laffs couldn’t find their own goalie. “Here, take Bibeault,” offered the Habs. Then the massacre proceeded.
