This books lists Toronto defeating Montreal in the 1966 Stanley Cup playoffs, 4 games to 2. That must have happened on another planet because Montreal won the series, not Toronto. And it was 4 games to none. I haven't had time to check the rest of the book, but you would think that the author would have double-checked the data and proofread it. This was not a misspelling or transposed digits. I wonder what other errors were overlooked. If you want to be called "The Official Encyclopedia of the Stanley Cup," you have to live up to the name. Let the buyer beware!

On page 43 of this book, it states that Toronto won the Stanley Cup by defeating Montreal to win the best-of-seven series, 4-2. In reality, Montreal defeated Toronto, 4-0. Before you post a review criticizing another reviewer, make sure you get your facts straight.

This is a great publication. It contains all that you could possibly want to know about Lord Stanley's Cup.

I don't know what the reader from Livonia is referring to. Montreal did win the Cup in 1966 4-0. But the very next year Toronto did beat Montreal 4-2 to win it. It seems the reader misread the year, not the author miswriting. I could find no reference to Toronto winning the Cup in '66.

In all I find the book to not be of the quality of Total Hockey by the same publisher (a great buy) but is certainly worthy of purchase. If you're into statistics there's plenty inside.
