He was a Toronto boy and when the series was tied 1-1 going into Toronto the Bruins were deflated and the Leafs were high.<br /><br />Game 3 Boston 3 - Toronto 1<br />Conacher scores what proves to be winning goal, assisted by Cowley. Conacher and Cowley assist on Crawford's goal.<br /><br />Conacher 1-1 - Boston up 2 games 1.<br /><br />“It was my first goal on the Toronto ice this winter and it was a bit of a fluke at that, I hope I have broken this Toronto jinx,” said young Conacher, who led the National league in goals scored in his rookie year with 26 markers. “But it sure came at the right time, and the way things turned out it was the one that beat the Leafs.”<br /><br />Game 4 - Boston 2 - Toronto 0<br />Conacher scores both goals.<br /><br />Home-towner spanks Toronto Maple Leafs.<br />3-1 Conacher. 4 consecutive goals included Conacher - Taking Boston from a 1-1 tie in a tight game 3 to a 3 games to 1 series lead and heading back to Boston. Hill assisted on the first goal while Cowley and Hill assisted on the second.<br /><br />Game 5 - 3-1 Boston<br /><br />1. Conacher and Cowley assist on Hill's goal <br /><br />2. Cowley assists on Conacher's goal.<br /><br />Conacher was rewarded with a point in six straight markers that sent Boston from a dog fight in game 3 of the 1939 final to the franchise's 2nd Stanley Cup.<br /><br />Of Course if it were not for Hill's heroics vs the Rangers we would not have seen Conacher's heroics. The Hill-Conacher-Cowley line exploded in this playoff. They were the difference makers.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11669523627837078960noreply@blogger.com
