1935 Stanley Cup Finals

The 1935 Stanley Cup Finals was contested by the Montreal Maroons and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Maroons won the series 3–0 to win their second and final Stanley Cup. The Maroons are the last defunct team to ever win the Cup, as the team disbanded three years later, and were also the last non-Original Six team to win the championship until the Philadelphia Flyers in 1974.

Paths to the Finals
Toronto defeated the Boston Bruins in a best-of-five 3–1 to advance to the Finals.

The Maroons had to play a total-goals series; 1–0 against Chicago Black Hawks, and win a second two-game total-goals series 5–4 against the New York Rangers to advance to the Finals.

Game summaries
Maroons manager-coach Tommy Gorman became the only coach to win successive Stanley Cup titles with two different teams after winning with the Chicago Black Hawks in the 1934 Stanley Cup Finals.

Maroons goaltender Alex Connell allowed just four goals in the three games.
