As in 1955, all games were won by the home team. This was the last final until 2003 that this happened.[1] Gump Worsley made his first Finals appearance after 12 years in the league and recorded two shutouts, including the one in game seven. Jean Beliveau was the inaugural winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, scoring eight goals and eight assists in thirteen games.

Stanley Cup engraving

  • Four players who did not officially qualify had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup.
    • #21 Gilles Tremblay (LW) – played in 25 regular season games and missed the rest of the season injured.
    • #23-24 Garry Peters (C) – played in 13 regular season games. Spent most of the season in the minors.
    • #18 Bryan Watson (D) – played in 8 regular season games. Spent most of the season in the minors.
    • #29 Ernie Wakely (G) – dressed but did not play in the regular season. Wakely dressed for games 3-4-5 (of 5) in Stanley Cup Semi-Finals due to Charlie Hodge being injured.
  • When Toronto won the Stanley Cup in 1962, 1963, and 1964, they took up more room than was allowed for engraving their winning members' names on it. So when Montreal won the Stanley Cup, the ring was finished off with 32 members. Had the ring been engraved correctly in 1964–65, there would have been more than enough room to include all 27 members of the Montreal Canadiens 1965–66 roster with their full first and last names, and non-playing positions.
