Apr. 23, 1964 | Stanley Cup Finals Game 6 (Maple Leafs @ Red Wings)

Apr. 23, 1964 - The Detroit Red Wings have been underdogs since the start -- an injury-riddled season, a fourth-place finish, the upset of star-loaded Chicago in the semifinals, and now one victory away from the NHL championship. The Wings closed in on it Tuesday night, beating the defending champion Maple Leafs for the second time in Toronto, 2-1. They can win it all in the sixth game of the finals tonight at Olympia Stadium. If they fail, it's back to Toronto for the last game Saturday.
