Let's Watch... (1959/4/07) SCSF Game 7 - Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins

[c9777666]

Based on their record and some of the stats, can it be said the 1959 Bruins were a better team than the 1957-1958 Cup Finalists?

No allowed more goals than they scored.

You know, one often reads about “stay-in-your lane” hockey played by North Americans prior to Euro influence, but I’ve found that forwards from this era would drift into each others’ lanes at times or even interchange occasionally. The Bruins Uke line from this game is by far the most rigidly “lane-bound” that I’ve seen.
