Leaf's Glory Years Erased From Cup

A sad reality from the Globe and Mail's Allan Maki
...the most successful era in Leafs history has been removed from the Stanley Cup. On the trophy that symbolizes NHL supremacy, and a good chunk of Canadiana, there is no longer a mention of the Leafs' championship wins of 1942, 1945, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1951. Greats such as Frank McCool, Ted Kennedy, Babe Pratt, Turk Broda, Syl Apps, Howie Meeker and Bill Barilko are not on the Cup any more as members of the Maple Leafs.
Full Story - Legends of the Toronto Maple Leafs

Update - James Mirtle, one of only two bloggers I read at least once a day, ponders the possibility of increasing the size of the Stanley Cup to preserve hockey history as per practice in the past.
