background: The 1932 Stanley Cup Finals saw the Toronto Maple Leafs sweep the New York Rangers 3–0 in a best-of-five series to claim the championship for the 1931–32 NHL season. Coached by Dick Irvin, Toronto relied on strong defensive play and the stellar goaltending of John Ross Roach to dominate the series, outscoring New York in every game. The Rangers, led by Lester Patrick, were unable to overcome Toronto’s balanced attack and disciplined play, and the series featured convincing victories rather than closely contested matches. Games were split between Toronto and New York, but the Maple Leafs’ cohesion and depth proved decisive, securing the franchise’s third Stanley Cup—counting its earlier incarnations as the Toronto Arenas and St. Patricks—and reinforcing its status as one of the NHL’s premier teams of the early 1930s.
