Paddan: Inför nattens drabbning kommer här lite läsning om en man som med väldigt liten insats fick sitt namn på Stanley Cup pokalen.

"Of the 2,324 names on the Stanley Cup, one of the more obscure belongs to Harry Taylor.

In a long hockey career, Mr. Taylor skated a single shift in a single National Hockey League playoff game. He didn't score a goal or register an assist. He wasn't even assessed a penalty.

All he did was jump over the boards to take a spin on the ice at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

Those seconds earned him a spot on the Cup, his name engraved alongside those of better known teammates from the 1948-49 Maple Leafs.

"I was blessed at being the right guy in the right place at the right time with the right team," he said."
