It was contested between the four-time defending champion Montreal Canadiens, appearing in their tenth consecutive finals, and the Toronto Maple Leafs; it was a rematch of the previous year's finals and the fourth finals meeting in the history of the Canadiens–Maple Leafs rivalry. The Canadiens swept the Maple Leafs for their fifth straight Cup victory, which stands as an NHL record. This was the last time a Toronto-based team lost in the championship round in any of the four major North American sports leagues until the 2025 World Series.November 2, 2025 Congrats on the loss, Toronto. It was a masterpiece https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-blue-jays-vs-dodgers-world-series-game-7-results-analysis-toronto/ February 25, 2026 The Globe and Mail en-CA Paths to the finals Montreal swept the Chicago Black Hawks in four games to reach the Final. In the other semi-final, Toronto defeated the Detroit Red Wings four games to two. Game summaries Montreal swept the Maple Leafs, outscoring them 15–5, en route to being the first team since the 1952 Detroit Red Wings to go perfect in the playoffs, with Jean Beliveau scoring the game-winning goal in three of the matches. The Red Wings beat both the Leafs and Habs in the 1952 playoffs to set the record. Maurice "Rocket" Richard retired after the series in style, finishing with his 34th final-series goal, his 82nd and final goal, and his last-ever goal (626th) in the third game. This was the last time a Toronto-based team lost a championship series in any of the "big four" major professional sports leagues until the 2025 World Series. The Leafs would go on to appear in and win four more Stanley Cup Final in the 1960s, which included a three-peat from 1962 to 1964, and their most recent Finals appearance and win in 1967. The Toronto Blue Jays (who joined Major League Baseball in 1977) then appeared in and won the World Series in 1992 and 1993, while the Toronto Raptors (who joined the National Basketball Association in 1995) won their first NBA championship in 2019.
