March 31: On this day in 1985…

On this day in 1985, the Leafs lost to the New York Rangers 7-5 at Madison Square Garden in New York. The Leafs were in the midst of a five-game losing streak to end yet another disastrous season. In those last five games of the 1984-85 schedule, the Laffs gave up 35 goals, an average of seven goals per game. What a way to go! By early April, the Laffs were golfing again.
