  • Grant Fuhr was traded by Oilers with RW/LW Glenn Anderson and LW Craig Berube to the Toronto Maple Leafs for LW Vincent Damphousse, D Luke Richardson, G Peter Ing, C Scott Thornton and future considerations, September 19, 1991.

Regular season

After starting the season with a 2-1 record, a loss to the Washington Capitals on October 9 began what would become a seven game losing streak. As the losses piled up, two intrepid Leafs fans from Wilfrid Laurier University went so far as to camp out on their Waterloo rooftop in hopes of inspiring the team to finally win. Enduring poor weather and the scorn of non-Leafs fans across their campus, Brian Gear and Fab Antonelli became minor media celebrities during their quixotic quest.[citation needed] After a disheartening loss to the Detroit Red Wings on October 25, the weary pair were finally able to return to their own beds when the Leafs defeated the Red Wings 6-1 on October 26.[1]

On February 5, 1992, the Leafs scored just 18 seconds into the overtime period to win by a score of 3-2 over the Minnesota North Stars.[2] It would prove to be the fastest overtime goal scored during the 1991-92 NHL regular season.[3]

The Maple Leafs were still in the playoff race with the Minnesota North Stars by mid March, but a 3-5-0 finish to the season ended any postseason hopes. Despite finishing with fewer wins than Toronto, The North Stars clinched the final playoff spot over the Leafs costing head coach Tom Watt his job.

During the regular season, the Maple Leafs tied the Montreal Canadiens for the fewest short-handed goals allowed, with just 5.[4]

The Doug Gilmour trade

Several months after the Toronto Maple Leafs hired Cliff Fletcher to be their new general manager, Fletcher made a blockbuster trade with Calgary (where he had previously been general manager). On January 2, 1992, the Maple Leafs acquired Doug Gilmour, along with Jamie Macoun, Ric Nattress, Kent Manderville and Rick Wamsley, in exchange for Gary Leeman, Alexander Godynyuk, Jeff Reese, Michel Petit and Craig Berube. The 10 player deal was the largest in NHL history and, statistically speaking, one of the most lopsided.
