In overtime of game 5 of the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals, Bill Barilko scored to give the Toronto Maple Leafs their 4th Stanley Cup Championship in 5 years. Barilko was the toast of the town. Unfortunately, however, it would be the last goal Barilko would ever score. Shortly afterwards, Barilko went on a fishing trip with his good friend, and dentist, Dr. Henry Hudson. Neither of them would ever be seen alive again. The small plane Hudson flew disappeared. The Leafs fell on hard times, and it took them 11 years to win their next Stanley Cup - 1962. Incredibly, shortly after they hoisted the Cup, the plane was accidentally discovered with the skeletal remains of Barilko and Hudson still strapped into their seats. Hockey historian and author Kevin Shea closes out this two-part podcast of Bill Barilko.
