He Who Leafs Last: A birthday today for the late Turk Broda, who was born on a Friday of today’s date in 1914 in Brandon, Manitoba. He was only ever a Maple Leaf, helping Toronto win no fewer than five Stanley Cup championships between 1942 and 1951. In ’42, Broda bested the Detroit Red Wings and their goaltender, Johnny Mowers, pictured here, in seven games.
