1953 Stanley Cup Final

The 1953 Stanley Cup Final was contested by the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens. The Bruins were appearing in the Final for the first time since 1946. The Canadiens, who were appearing in their third straight Finals series, won the series four games to one to clinch their seventh championship.

Montreal defeated the Chicago Black Hawks 4–3 to reach the Finals. Boston defeated the defending champion Detroit Red Wings 4–2 to reach the Finals.

Jacques Plante was pulled after the first two games in favour of Gerry McNeil. The move paid off as McNeil posted two shutouts in the last three games.

The 1953 Stanley Cup was presented to Canadiens captain Emile Bouchard by NHL President Clarence Campbell following the Canadiens 1–0 overtime win over the Bruins in game five.
