The 1947 Stanley Cup Finals was a best-of-seven series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the defending champion Montreal Canadiens.
This was the first all-Canadian Finals since 1935, when the since-folded Montreal Maroons defeated the Maple Leafs.
Toronto had several new players in its lineup, including Howie Meeker, Bill Barilko and Bill Ezinicki, as Toronto sported the youngest NHL team to win the Cup to that time.
Canadiens goaltender Bill Durnan reportedly asked "How did those guys get in the league?
In the sixth game, Turk Broda showed outstanding goaltending, holding off Ken Reardon on a late breakaway, and the Leafs won 2–1 to win the Stanley Cup.
Clarence Campbell declined to present the Cup immediately, concerned over the spectre of fan violence.
