Our condolences go out to the family, friends and fans of Hockey Hall of Famer Bob Pulford, who passed away today at the age of 89. A player for sixteen NHL seasons, and then a coach and manager for another 34 seasons, Pulford was best known for his fourteen seasons in Toronto, where he would capture four Stanley Cups (1962, 1963, 1964, 1967) with the Maple Leafs, amassing 91 points in 173 career games against Montreal between 1956-70, also notching 21 points in 37 career playoff games against the Canadiens, tied for the most playoff games played alongside George Armstrong, Tim Horton and Frank Mahovlich.

After drawing into the Canadiens starting lineup, Sammy Blais has become the 114th player, and second active player (along with Max Domi) to have played with both the Maple Leafs and Canadiens. Blais, who was waived by Montréal to start the season, then played eight games with Toronto before being reclaimed by the Canadiens after Toronto waived him, would become the first player to play for both clubs in the same season (but not as part of a trade) since Chad Kilger suited up for both teams non-consecutively in 2003-04.
