A COMEBACK FOR THE AGES IN 1942

Tonight is the 78th anniversary of the greatest comeback in professional sports history.

Down three games in the best-of-seven 1942 Stanley Cup final, the Toronto Maple Leafs proceeded to win the next four games against Detroit and captured the Stanley Cup.

The game-winning goal was scored by Pete Langelle at the 9:48 mark of the third period. Bob Goldham and John McCreedy assisted on the goal.

"We had a bit of the party that night after the game with some friends and relatives, but I was so tired I couldn't enjoy it," Goldham recalled.

On July 9, 1942, Bob Goldham joined the Canadian Navy.

"It seemed as though a phase in my life was over, that my time as a youth was finished and it was my time to grow up," Goldham said of the big change in his life.
