Pristine, near-mint+ program from the deciding game of the 1968 Stanley Cup Finals, which pitted the mighty Montreal Canadiens against the upstart St. Louis Blues, in the first final of the Expansion Era. The Canadiens would sweep the series in four games, but not without a challenge from the Blues, as each game was decided by one goal. That included game four, played May 11,1968 at the Montreal Forum, as St. Louis would carry a 2-1 lead into the third period before Henri Richard tied it and then J.C. Tremblay beat the Blues' veteran goalie Glenn Hall for the winner. This was Toe Blake's eighth and final Stanley Cup as the Canadiens' coach - he retired immediately after the win. And it was the final NHL game and playoff game respectively for two former Montreal greats who had come out of retirement to join the Blues - Dickie Moore, and a 44-year-old Doug Harvey.
