National Hockey League playoffs
The 1960 Stanley Cup playoffs began on March 23, after the regular season ended. It was the tournament to determine the 1960 Stanley Cup professional ice hockey championship of the National Hockey League (NHL)
The regular-season Montreal Canadiens' momentum did not stop as they played eight games, the minimum number to win the Stanley Cup. Montreal, in the process, became the last Cup winners in NHL history to go perfect in the playoffs to date. After winning the Stanley Cup, Maurice Richard retired from the NHL as a champion.
Bobby Hull of the Chicago Black Hawks had led the league in scoring, but the Montreal Canadiens managed to hold him to only one goal as the Canadiens swept the Black Hawks in four. The Toronto Maple Leafs, though, had a slightly tougher time. Gordie Howe led Detroit Red Wings as it took the Leafs 6 games, including one in triple overtime, to win the series.
