Paths to the Final
Toronto defeated the New York Rangers in a best-of-seven 4–2 to advance to the finals. The Red Wings had to play two best-of three series; winning 2–1 against the Montreal Canadiens, and 2–0 against the Boston Bruins.
The series
This was the series of the remarkable comeback. Toronto came back from a 3–0 deficit to win the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final. As of 2011[update], the feat has not been duplicated. Detroit coach Jack Adams was suspended after violence in the third game of the series. The seventh game, held in Toronto, was the first time a crowd of over 16,000 attended a hockey game in Canada.
