As rare as a natural Hat Trick is this 1941-42 Stanley Cup Finals program. Only the last place New York Americans did not make the playoffs in the then-seven team NHL. The Toronto Maple Leafs climbed the ladder by eliminating the first place Rangers in six games, earning them a bye into the finals. When the dust cleared, the Leafs would face the Motor City's Red Wings for the prized Cup. Detroit won the first three, putting the Leafs at the brink. To shake things up, Coach Hap Day benched Gordie Drillon and Bucko McDonald. It must have sent the right message as Toronto went on to win four in a row, thus becoming the only team in NHL history to erase a three game deficit to win a Cup final series. This Red Wings home game program from games 3, 4, or 6 is complete and unscored. Great images of the old Olympia and game action on the front cover. Overall excellent condition with firm staples and spine. Consists of twenty pages including covers. A truly historic hockey publication from a Cup finals result that has never been duplicated again.
