Here's what Darryl Sittler's historic Maple Leafs sweater fetched at auction
If you were hoping to get your hands on a significant piece of Maple Leafs history, you're out of luck. Article content An anonymous bidder has paid $143,030 for the sweater that Darryl Sittler wore when he recorded 10 points in a Leafs victory against the Boston Bruins on Feb. 7, 1976. Article content Article content The sale was made via Los Angeles-based Grey Flannel Auctions. The starting bid in the online auction, which opened on May 12 and closed on June 1, was $10,000. A total of 29 bids were made. Article content Nearly 50 years after the historic performance, Sittler's 10 points remain a National Hockey League record for one game. That night at Maple Leafs Gardens, the Leafs captain had six goals and four assists as the Leafs shelled Bruins goalie Dave Reece in an 11-4 Toronto win. Article content Reece, who faced 40 shots that night, didn't play in an NHL game again. All 14 of his career games came during the 1975-76 season with the Bruins. Article content The previous record for most points in an NHL game was eight, done by Maurice Richard of the Montreal Canadiens during the 1944-45 season. Article content Since Sittler's extraordinary performance, 12 players have recorded eight points in a game, but no one has had nine. Most recently, Sam Gagner, with the Edmonton Oilers at the time, had eight points (four goals and four assists) on Feb. 2, 2012, in an 8-4 win against the Chicago Blackhawks. Article content Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux both posted two eight-point games during their legendary careers. Article content A game-worn sweater belonging to Gretzky, meanwhile, during his tenure with the New York Rangers sold for $295,492 via Grey Flannel Auctions. The autographed sweater is rare: On April 7, 1998, in a game against the Montreal Canadiens, Gretzky wore the captain's 'C' as Rangers captain Brian Leetch was out of the lineup because he was sick.
