The idea of the Maple Leafs achieving their historic three-peat would have been a surprise to many months before, as the club posted a losing record during the regular season and landed in the fourth and final playoff position (22-25-3). However, led by captain Ted Kennedy (2-6-8) and backstopped by Turk Broda, who led the postseason in goals-against average (1.57), the Maple Leafs rolled to an 8-1 playoff record capped by a four-game sweep over Detroit in the Stanley Cup Final. The Maple Leafs joined the 1938 Chicago Black Hawks as the only Stanley Cup champions in NHL history that posted a losing record in the regular season.
