    Maple Leafs.

    During his career, Terry Sawchuk won 501 games (447 regular season and 54 playoffs) , while recording 115 shutouts, (103 in the regular season and 12 in the playoffs). Sawchuk set the standard for measuring goaltenders, and was publicly hailed as the "best goalie ever" by a rival general manager in 1952, during only his second season. Sawchuk finished his hockey career with 447 wins, a record that stood for thirty years, and his career record of 103 shutouts remained unsurpassed among NHL goaltenders, untilMartin Brodeur bested that mark with his 104th shut out on December 21, 2009.  Unfortunately, in this case, Terry died tragically while he was still playing in the NHL with the New York Rangers, or he might have gotten a half dozen more shutouts.

    Toronto had Terry for three seasons (1964/67).  He was a good matchup against Bobby Hull and the Blackhawks or Henri Richard and Montreal or his old team the Detroit Red Wings.  Ted Lindsay had been a team mate on the red Wings with Terry.  Ted had 210 stiches in his head during his 20 year career.  He was badly scared.  His face looked lopsided.  Terry had such horrible facial scars he was forced to wear a protective "Jason" mask in Toronto so people would not see his face.  In those days these guys made only $20,000 or $25,000 per year.
