Stanley Cup Final The Blues beat the
North Stars in a game 7 double overtime and made the Stanley Cup Final. Although they lost in four straight games, they played proudly, as all four games each were decided by just one goal (and two of the four were decided in
overtime).
Glenn Hall was especially noted for his goaltending, especially in game three when the Blues were outshot 46 to 15.
Red Burnett, one of the most prominent hockey writers of the day, said of Hall's playing, "A number of Hall's saves were seemingly impossible. Experts walked out of the Forum convinced no other goaltender had performed so brilliantly in a losing cause." In overtime in game three, Hall made an exceptional save on
Dick Duff and then, standing on his head, made another. Burnett said, "It was a heartbreaker to see. After the saves on Duff,
Bobby Rousseau came and batted home the second rebound." Hall's playing won him the
Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs. However, Montreal was not to be denied and won the Stanley Cup in game four as
J. C. Tremblay fired home the winning goal. When the game ended, the fans came on the ice to celebrate, and balloons, hats and programs were thrown from the stands. ==Schedule and results==
