On this Date in NHL history

May 14, 1977 - Montreal Canadiens center Jacques Lemaire scored his third game-winning goal of the 1977 Final and his second career overtime tally in a Stanley Cup game, leading the Montreal Canadiens to a 2-1 series-clinching win against the Boston Bruins. Only Maurice “Rocket” Richard of the Canadiens (3) and Don Raleigh of the Rangers (2) have ever posted more than one career overtime goal in Final history.
FYI, according to Scott Morrison over the weekend on CBC’s Hot Stove, the Maple Leafs contacted the Wild to ask permission to speak to Doug Risebrough about their vacant GM job, and he turned them down.
