When last we looked in on the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs in the playoffs of 1935, they were battling hard: that’s over here.

Today we’re gazing on a pair of key goals from that same game at Maple Leaf Gardens on Saturday, March 30, 89 years ago. Focus your eye first on the image below, which shows the moment in the third period that Toronto’s Baldy Cotton scored to tie the game at 1-1. That’s (balding) Cotton departing the scene in exultation. The Bruins’ #11 is Red Beattie and beyond him, I think that might be Charlie Sands. If they appear dejected, teammates Tiny Thompson (in the goal) and (behind the net) Eddie Shore seem to be directing their energy into outrage and remonstration. As it turned out, referee Ag Smith did call off the goal, ruling that Cotton was infringing on Thompson’s crease when he scored. (Cue the aforepictured chaos.)

As previously mentioned, Toronto winger Regis (a.k.a. Pep) Kelly scored on the ensuing powerplay to tie the game. Then in overtime, the 21-year-old product of North Bay, Ontario, scored again to seal the deal for the Leafs. The top image shows one of those goals, though I don’t know which one. That’s Kelly with stick raised nearest the camera; his helmeted teammate is, I think, Joe Primeau. Tiny Thompson is the dispirited goaltender, with Eddie Shore facing him. Boston’s #4 is defenceman Bert McInenly, with Babe Siebert (#12) and Red Beattie (#11) turning away in disappointment.
