B! JACK CALDER. median Press Staff Writer TORONTO, April 4 - Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs have won the Stanley Cup only once eerh, but no other team has brought so much dramatic and boisiewtls hockey to the trophy series in the past as either of these two clubs which open the finals Thursday at Boston.

Each Have m.‘

The Bruins won the cun and the world championship 1111929 by de- feating New York Rangers in the finals The Leafs won in 1932, also against the Rangers. giving Tor- onto the storied trophy for the first time since the old St. Pat- ricks tcck it in 1m.

The year alter the leafs cap- tured the world title. they met Boston in the cup rfavcffs for the first time. The w» have met three times in playoffs since then-never in the finals, but always in s hni. and heavy round that Toronto managed to win. On each occasion the Leafs have been. too badly attired by the Bruins to win the

The Long Ono

Perhaps the round that will be rerrembersd ‘ongest by the fans is that of 1963. because the final game irrt them up most of the night. Playing for the National League title snd in the flrstround

is for the cup, the leafs and Bruins

titvidsd the first four games and went scoreless thrown the three rerubr periods of the fifth and

9 deciding one.

104 minutes of overtime the dueiling went on. There were fre- quent bristPng chances to wind up the round. but goalies Inrne Cha- bot of the Leafs and Tiny ‘mann- son oiBoston were unbeatable un- til little K-en Dorstv, s lesser light with the ‘Toronto teem. batter] 1n Andw Blair's pass 1n the forty- sevenih second of the one hundred and fifth minute of extra play.

Softened Up

After that the tired Leafs had to entrain for New York to meet the Rangers in s best-of-flve ser- ia for the cup. They were barely able to drag themselves through the first contest and the Rangers took the round three games tcone. ‘Bill Cook notch ng the only goal of the last swatch after seven min- utm of overtime.

In i935 ‘lbronio and Boston col- lided again for the league title and this time the Leafs won in four humor games. one going into 33 minutes of overtime. The leafs won the last. one 3-1 and were dis- finctiy sub-par for the finals. The old Montreal Msroons licked them in three straight games, 3-2, 3-1.

Most Ruciinns

But the m...» turbulent of them all was the meeting of the leafs a-nttiufiruilis inm1988 inms guiding‘? to -god.s e round. after grog}? had finished sec- ond in its N.I~I.L Qnsion. Bos- ton won the may. game st home
