Seventy years ago, Maple Leaf defenseman Bill Barilko scored a memorable goal against the Montreal Canadiens to give the Toronto team its fourth Stanley Cup in five years. Four months after Barilko's heroics, he disappeared on a fishing trip, when his small aircraft crashed. For 11 years, authorities were unable to find the crash site. The Leafs won no Stanley Cups while Barilko was missing, until 1962, the same year the crash site was found. We commemorate the goal, which was immortalized in the Tragically Hip song, "Fifty Mission Cap." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He scored among the most iconic goals in Stanley Cup history, then disappeared without a trace. You may know Bill Barilko from the Tragically Hip’s ’50 Mission Cap.' But prepare to meet the man behind the myth. Amongst the treasured images and memorabilia inside the Leafs' locker room, few are quite as esteemed as one of two original lyric sheets to the Tragically Hip's '50 Mission Cap.' Signed by the band, and framed alongside the Pro Set 1991 hockey card that inspired lead singer Gord Downie to pen the song, the lyric sheet has pride of place in the equipment room - where it continues to inspire. As Hip bassist Gord Sinclair tells it, the song was nothing but a riff until, mid jam, Downie opened up a pack of hockey cards, read the Barilko story, and became an extemporaneous freestyle. That hockey card, written by historian James Duplacey, reads as follows: " Bill Barilko, The End of Innocence" Although he was not noted for his offensive skills, Bill Barilko scored one of the most celebrated goals in NHL history during the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals between Toronto and Montreal. This series was the only championship final that required overtime in every contest. In Game Five, the extra session was nearly three minutes old when Barilko spotted a loose puck near the Montreal crease. He dove in from the blueline and fired a shot over Montreal goaltender Gerry McNeil's outstretched arm to give the Leafs the Cup. Unfortunately, it was the last goal of Barilko's career. He disappeared that summer on a fishing trip, and the Leafs didn't win another Cup until 1962, the year his body was found." As Downie himself said of Barilko, and the song, 'we are all united in tragedy.' To learn more about Barilko's amazing life, check out Kevin Shea's Barilko: Without a Trace. This podcast could only scratch the surface. Bill's time as 'Hollywood Bill Barilko' alone could fill a book of its own. And be sure to check out Gord Sinclair's first solo album, 'Taxi Dancers,' out on February 28th. CREDITS: Leafs Forever is hosted by Scott Willats & written by Paul Matthews.

In 1951, Toronto Maple Leaf player, 24 year old Bill Barilko scored the game winning goal in overtime during the last game of the Stanley Cup Finals. He flung himself across the ice, tucking a quick backhand over the shoulder of the Montreal goalie, giving the Leafs their fourth Stanley Cup win in five years.  A few months later, Barilko disappeared, taking the Leafs winning streak with him. The Leafs would not win another cup until 1962, within weeks of Barilko’s return home.  His story is immortalized in song, 50 Mission Cap, by The Tragically Hip. Sponsor: Lola.

Curses have played a significant role in human history for over 4,000 years. Is it possible that supernatural forces can inflict harm, punishment or cause bad luck to befall us? Or is there another explanation? In our search for answers we examine some of the most intriguing curses including: the disappearance of Bill Barilko, James Dean’s killer Porsche, Robert Johnson’s deal with the Devil and King Tutankhamen’s revenge from beyond the grave. Knock on wood.

In overtime of game 5 of the 1951 Stanley Cup Finals, Bill Barilko scored to give the Toronto Maple Leafs their 4th Stanley Cup Championship in 5 years. Barilko was the toast of the town. Unfortunately, however, it would be the last goal Barilko would ever score. Shortly afterwards, Barilko went on a fishing trip with his good friend, and dentist, Dr. Henry Hudson. Neither of them would ever be seen alive again. The small plane Hudson flew disappeared. The Leafs fell on hard times, and it took them 11 years to win their next Stanley Cup - 1962. Incredibly, shortly after they hoisted the Cup, the plane was accidentally discovered with the skeletal remains of Barilko and Hudson still strapped into their seats. Hockey historian and author Kevin Shea closes out this two-part podcast of Bill Barilko.   Links: http://www.sportsfh.com http://www.patreon.com/sportsfh https://twitter.com/SportsFHeroes ©2017 Sports' Forgotten Heroes  

Bill Barilko was a young hard-hitting defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was called up to the Leafs towards the end of the 1946-47 season and helped Toronto win the Stanley Cup. He helped the Maple Leafs win the Cup again in 1948 and 1949. Toronto became the first team to win the Cup three straight years. After failing to make it to the finals in 1950, the Leafs returned in 1951 and Barilko scored the Cup-clinching goal in overtime of Game 5. The Leafs had won 4 Stanley Cups in 5 years. But tragedy struck shortly thereafter and Barilko disappeared on a fishing trip never to be seen alive again! In the first of this two-part series join me along with hockey historian and author Kevin Shea for a look back at the incredible story of Bill Barilko.   Links: http://www.sportsfh.com http://www.patreon.com/sportsfh http://www.twitter@sportsfheroes ©2017 Sports' Forgotten Heroes
