Trivia
The Hip's song "50 Mission Cap" (From their album Fully Completely) touches on the legend of Bill Barilko, a Leafs player who scored the Stanley Cup-winning goal in 1951 and disappeared on a fishing trip later that year. Though the song is about a Maple Leaf, his favorite team is the Boston Bruins (Harry Sinden, former GM of the Bruins is his God-father).
