What everyone is talking about.

Tony Keller: “Many people in the criminal justice system are not criminal masterminds. They are, instead, deeply broken people. Their freedom may need to be curtailed for a time, for their good and ours.” But unless their time behind bars includes activities and treatment aimed at helping them improve, their stay as guests of the Crown, however short or long, is not good for society. Can’t be beneficial.”

Cathal Kelly: “So what does Florida do? They make it worse. They turn their barn into a makeshift headquarters for true believers, hard-nosed hosers and hockey revolutionaries. It doesn’t matter how many of them there are. They will be heard. And in being heard, they will have proven that you can’t keep Canada out. We find a way.”

Moment in Time: May 2, 1967

The Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup.

It couldn’t have been scripted better: In Canada’s centennial year, only two Canadian teams competed in the Stanley Cup Final in the six-team National Hockey League. The Toronto Maple Leafs, seeking their fourth Cup in six seasons, played their rival, the Montreal Canadiens, who had won the previous two Cups. The team’s roster was legendary and featured several future Hall of Famers, including both head coaches. Toronto also iced one of the oldest lineups – the average player age was 31. Montreal won the first game at home, winning 6-2 in the third period. Goalie Terry Sawchuk then backstopped the Leafs to a 3-0 win in Game 2. Toronto won the next game as well, but it went to double overtime. Montreal came back 6-2 in Game 4 in Toronto to even the series at two. But after that, the Leafs dropped the series. They earned a convincing 4–1 win at the Montreal Forum in game five and then ended the series with a 3–1 victory on home ice. It was the last time Toronto hoisted the Stanley Cup. Maybe the Maple Leafs will end the drought this year? Bill Weiser
