lol the Leafs actually made the playoffs thanks to the crappy Cleveland Barons.
Back then 3 out 4 teams from every division made the playoffs.
But that 10 pts was just bizarre it was a 11-4 game and the puck just seemed to follow Sittler around. A pass would go off a players a skate right to him. Also Salming was on fire that night too.
I remember the announcer saying over and over "and that is another point for Sittler"!
Dave Reece was a rookie Bruins goalie and after that complete meltdown never played again in the NHL.

That season was the end of the Flyers mini dynasty ....no?...lost to Montreal in the finals? Pretty sure anyhow.
And i dont think Cleveland as in the NHL that season....KC was though.
