Don Simmons replaced the injured Johnny Bower for 28 games in the 1962-63 season and 10 of those were against the Rangers. This game from February 16, 1963 was one of his 7 victories against the Rangers that season. Simmons was the hero of the Leafs Stanley Cup win replacing Bower. And 'Dippy' Don was the second player after Jacques Plante to wear a mask. In this great action photo Camille 'The Eel' Henry tries one of his patented deflections but just misses the mark. The Leafs defencemen are Carl Brewer and Bob Baun with the Rangers Earl Ingarfield looking on. Art Skov is the referee and notice how visible the crowd is with Toronto's elite with men in suits and women with their hats and fur coats.
