Ghosts of The Past - Elmer Lach (755 words)
Lach’s superb passing and playmaking skills were instrumental in aiding Maurice Richard in his successful quest for 50 goals in 50 games during the 1944-45 campaign, the same season in which Lach set the all-time single-season record for assists with 54.
Lach’s performance in the postseason was nothing short of stellar as he accounted for 12 assists and 17 points, both tops during that year’s playoffs.
Even still, Lach’s superior skills were good enough to garner yet another NHL First-Team All-Star selection at the end of the 1951-52 season and another etch on the Stanley Cup as his Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins in the 1952-53 Cup finals.
