1951-52 NHL season

 The 1951-52 NHL season had 6 teams and a 70 game schedule. Alex Delvecchio makes his debut with the Detroit Red Wings. Terry Sawchuk wins 44 games for the Red Wings. Elmer Lach records point 550, claiming a points record that will eventually be obliterated.  March 23, Bill Mosienko of the Chicago Blackhawks scores three goals in 21 seconds. I think that record still stands. November 24, 1951, Chicago trainer Mud Roberts fills in for an injured Harry Lumley in a Chicago 6-2 win over Detroit. Roberts hadn't played in 15 years. March 27, Turk Broda plays in playoff game #100, the first goalie to do so. Playoffs had; SF: Detroit 4 Toronto 0, Montreal 4 Boston 3. Stanley Cup finals: Detroit 4 Montreal 0. April 15 as Detroit wins Cup, Pete and Jerry Cusarano throws an octopus onto the ice at the Olympia in Detroit. With Detroit winning all 8 playoff games and needing 8 wins for the Cup, the Detroit tradition began. Next up is the 1952-53 season.
