Playing career

After a stellar junior career with the Cornwall Royals, Gilmour began his professional career with the St. Louis Blues in 1983. He was drafted in the seventh round, 134th overall by St. Louis in 1982. During the 1986 playoffs, he led the league in postseason scoring even though his team did not make the finals, one of the three times that a player did so (the others were Phil Esposito in 1969 and Peter Forsberg in 1999). However, Gilmour was implicated in a civil suit for alleged sexual misconduct with a 13-year-old babysitter, and he was swiftly traded to the Calgary Flames for Mike Bullard, Craig Coxe, and the rights to Tim Corkery.^[1] The Sarnia Sting are a junior ice hockey team in the Ontario Hockey League. ...

Calgary

Gilmour was hastily traded to the Calgary Flames from St. Louis after the 1987-88 season. With Calgary, Gilmour went on to win a Stanley Cup with the Flames in 1989. Before the decisive game six of the series, he kissed and shook hands with Hockey Night in Canada commentator Don Cherry for good luck; Cherry affectionately called his favourite player "Dougie".

Trade to Toronto

Several months after the Toronto Maple Leafs hired Cliff Fletcher to be their new general manager, Fletcher made a blockbuster trade with Calgary (where he had previously been general manager) in February 1992. He acquired "Killer" (a nickname given to Gilmour by Brian Sutter, then a St. Louis teammate, because his name was similar to convicted killer Gary Gilmore) along with Jamie Macoun, Ric Nattress, Kent Manderville, and Rick Wamsley in exchange for Gary Leeman, Alexander Godynyuk, Jeff Reese, Michel Petit and Craig Berube. The 10 player deal was the largest in NHL history, and statistically speaking, one of the most lopsided. For other uses, see Toronto Maple Leafs (disambiguation). ...

Toronto fans did not need to wait long for the Gilmour acquisition to pay off, as the feisty forward scored a franchise-record 127 points during the 1992-1993 regular season^[2]. In the playoffs, he played a key role as the Leafs took out the powerhouse Detroit Red Wings and St. Louis Blues, both in seven games. Gilmour finished the postseason with 35 points, behind only Wayne Gretzky. Gilmour was the runner-up for the Hart Trophy as regular-season MVP and won the Selke Trophy as best defensive forward, the first major NHL award that a Leaf player had won since 1967. The Detroit Red Wings are a professional ice hockey team based in Detroit, Michigan. ...

One of Gilmour's most memorable goals was scored during the 1993 second round playoffs series against the St. Louis Blues, in the second sudden death overtime period. Many fans remember him skating back and forth behind the St. Louis net multiple times before finally sliding the puck behind a sprawling Curtis Joseph. The Maple Leafs would go on to win the series, but would eventually be eliminated in the next round by Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings. Toronto was leading the Conference series against Los Angeles 3-2 and many fans, including CBC's Don Cherry, were hoping for an all-Canadian final as the Montreal Canadiens already advanced. However, during overtime of game six, Gretzky high-sticked Gilmour, drawing blood, without being assessed a penalty by the referee, Kerry Fraser, and then scored the winning goal moments later to stave off elimination. During game seven back at Maple Leaf Gardens, the Leafs were trailing 5-3 after Gretzky completed his hat-trick. Gilmour's team would score one goal but couldn't find the equalizer, which sent the Kings to the finals.

Gilmour finished the 1993-1994 season fourth overall in regular season scoring with 111 points, just one behind third place finisher Adam Oates. Gilmour made his second consecutive trip to the NHL All-Star game and finished as runner-up for the Selke Trophy. In the playoffs, he led his Leafs to the Western Conference Finals (formerly Clarence Campbell conference), although they fell to the Vancouver Canucks in five games. The Leafs were the only team in the NHL to reach back-to-back conference finals over the 1992-1993 and 1993-1994 seasons. Over the course of the 1992-1993 season and the 1993-1994 season only Adam Oates scored more points than Gilmour.

When the Leafs traded captain and fan favourite Wendel Clark to the Quebec Nordiques in 1994-1995, Gilmour was named team captain. Throughout his six years as a Leaf, he was one of the most popular players on the team and in the league. He was a fan and media darling, as the spokesman for the NHLPA in community and charity events, and he also appeared in a series of memorable "Got Milk?" TV commercials, one which also featured his wife. However when Clark returned in a subsequent trade, Gilmour refused to return the coveted captain's "C", which hurt his popularity somewhat.

New Jersey

Fletcher traded Gilmour to the New Jersey Devils in 1997 for Steve Sullivan, Alyn McCauley and Jason Smith. In the summer of 1998 Gilmour signed as a free agent with the Chicago Blackhawks. Chicago was Toronto's opposition on the night of the last game in historic Maple Leaf Gardens.

In spring of 2000, Gilmour was traded to the Buffalo Sabres. He made an immediate impact with the struggling team, which had been Stanley Cup finalists the past season, helping them to make the playoffs. However, he was felled by stomach flu and only played in five playoff games. In 2000-2001, injuries limited Gilmour's regular season stats but he had a strong playoff performance as the rejuvenated Sabres beat the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round, although they were upset by the Pittsburgh Penguins in a tough second-round series.

Final seasons

Gilmour, a well-traveled player by this time, then signed as a free agent in 2001 with the Montreal Canadiens, where he would fill a much needed role as a veteran leader. Gilmour had a good playoff run with the Canadiens but it was cut short by the Carolina Hurricanes. Notably before a playoff game, Gilmour also taped a message to Habs fans not to boo the US national anthem.

Rumours floated around the hockey world that Gilmour was considering retirement. To the delight of Maple Leaf fans, the NHL trade deadline of 2003 brought good news: the Canadiens traded Gilmour to the Maple Leafs (for a sixth round selection) so that he could finish his career in Toronto. Unfortunately, he suffered a knee injury in the second period of his first game back on March 13 against the Calgary Flames, and never played again. He officially announced his retirement on September 8, 2003 after John Ferguson Jr. declined to re-sign him.
