Most Dominant Performances Ever
Poz’s list. I didn’t see this one, but it is legendary:
Richard’s five-goal playoff performance tied the NHL record set by Canadiens star, Newsy Lalonde, in March of 1919.
Only three other players (Darryl Sittler, Reggie Leach and Mario Lemieux) have found the back of the net five times in a post-season encounter since then.
Richard’s linemates, Toe Blake and Elmer Lach, supported the right-winger, contributing five and four assists respectively.
The Canadiens 5-1 victory evened the series at a game apiece.
Richard was picked as the evening’s first, second and third star, the first time any player had swept the post-game honors.
The next day, newspaper headlines in both Toronto and Montreal read “Richard 5 - Toronto 1.”
