Frank Mahovlich was traded in 1968, along with two other Leafs in exchange for 4 Red Wings, the best known of whom was Paul Henderson. Henderson, despite scoring one of Canada’s best known goals in the 1972 Summit Series against Russia, never had an outstanding NHL career. It is believed that there is now a curse on the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it has been named The Mahovlich Curse. Cursed or not, they have not won a Stanley Cup since 1967.
