A Leafs trivia challenge...

[cameltaur 0]

If anyone can get this with out cheating i'll be quite impressed. Who was the last Toronto Maple Leaf to lead the NHL in scoring, and what year did he do it in? Edit: for another challenge...the last leaf to win the Calder? last to win the Hart? Vezina (it was shared between two)?

Dave Keon??

Syl Apps led in assists but not points. He was a pretty honorable guy, one year he wanted to return $1000 of his $6000 salary because he sat out for a while with a broken leg. Now how many guys today would do that???

Do you mean goals or points?

[cameltaur 0]

I mean scoring as in total points.

I cheated and looked itup. Its been a looong time. But I knew the combined vezina, it was Sawchuk/Bower

I knew the Sawchuk/Bower thing as well. Wow it's been a while. any chance we could get a hint? I was thinking Keon, but I guess that was wrong.

Wow, I tried to look it up ad still had an awful lot of trouble. To be fair though only a handful of guys have won it in the last 20 years.

ok, here is a clue. Pretty hard still after this, but it narrows it down a lot. He won the scoring title before the inception of the Art Ross trophy, which came along I believe around 1947 or 48.

Its either Gordie Drillon or Ace Bailey. I'm not sure...

And we have a winner, the last Maple Leaf to lead the NHL in scoring wsa Gordie Drillon in 1937-38 with 26 goals and 26 assists for 52 points. Personally I was surprised to hear that, seeing as there has been no shortage of superstars on the Leafs since then.

That was a good one, it's pretty hard to believe too!!

I'm reading that Total Hockey book. Its great. It has lots of great articles about hockey and loads of stats. Thats where I saw the answer. I couldnt remember which one it was tho. Bailey won it in 46 I think.

That's a pretty hard challenge, Cameltaur. I would have ended up cheating if I weren't so lazy... ;)
