Don Metz was 91. He was the right winger who helped the Toronto Maple Leafs win five Stanley Cups in the 1940s.
Don Metz played a significant role in our 1942 comeback from a 3-0 deficit against the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup finals. In Game Five, he scored three goals and two assists to lead the Leafs to a 9-3 victory. He also scored the game-winning goal in Game Six. What makes his accomplishment more successful is that he was not put in the lineup until the Leafs were down 3-0; the Leafs won all four games in which he was dressed.
