Never heard of it. What was the story?
Glad to hear that I'm not alone.
Apparently after the 67 win, Hillman was looking for a new contract and Punch Imlach wouldn't give him a raise. Hillman sat out for a few weeks and was fined. When he finally returned he wanted his money back and Punch refused. Once he was selected by the Seals in the expansion draft he put a curse on the Leafs that they would never win again until he got his money back and that he would only lift the curse after 50 years. Apparently Shanahan asked him to lift the curse and he has.
