Original Toronto Star caption: The last straw: It wasn't the last goal of the game, but when the Whalers' Pat Boutette (28) slipped this puck past sprawling Leaf goalie Jim Rutherford to make the score 6-2 last night - as Darryl Sittler watched - it was the end for many fans in the Gardens. They began leaving in disgust.
