		During the doldrums of an uncommonly hot July, Hudson had tantalized Barilko with his descriptions of a magnificent, lonely landscape on the east side of James Bay, and of wide tidal rivers in which populations of brook trout and Arctic char were as plentiful as they had been centuries earlier.
		His fishing pole was just a stick with a length of string on it.” The jewel of Barilko’s fishing gear was a small, grey, metal box—salvaged from a local gold mine—in which he kept a ragtag treasury of hooks, line and sinkers, along with lures retrieved from the shallows of local lakes and streams.
		Barilko carried his boyhood tacklebox, its contents now expanded by a spinner or two and perhaps a few spoons and plugs.

	One fine morning - Stranded
		Statistically, Bill Barilko was one of the least remarkable defencemen to wear the blue and white.
		Barilko’s goal in 1951 had given the Leafs their fourth Stanley Cup since his joining of the team in 1947, but in the decade following his disappearance, the Leafs were unable to win the Cup again, and failed to make the playoffs three times.
		But while “Bashin’ Bill” was not one of the most skilled players to ever play the game, nor was his goal one of the prettiest ever scored, that moment where he flew through the air represented something very important for sports fans, and it still does today.

	Gerry McNeil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gerald George McNeil (April 17, 1926 – June 17, 2004) is a former professional ice hockey goaltender who won two Stanley Cups with the Montreal Canadiens in the 1950s.
		Despite being a two-time cup winner, fans will forever remember the Québec City, Québec native for two Cup-winning goals he gave up: to the Toronto Maple Leafs' Bill Barilko (1951), and a shot by a Detroit Red Wings player that was deflected by teammate Doug Harvey into the Canadiens goal (1954).
		McNeil was so crushed by the Harvey own-goal, he retired to coach junior hockey the next season, but returned to the Habs in 1956 to earn his second Cup as back-up to Hall of Famer Jacques Plante (1956-57).
