New series.

 Should have started doing this in March when I started season by season recaps.  So I will be doing a couple a day till I get caught up to the 1933-34 season (where I'm at now). Sooooo. The 1917-18 NHL season had: 1. The NHL form November 22, 1917. 2. First games December 19 with the Montreal Canadiens beat the Ottawa Senators (the original ones) 7-4. Joe Hall scored 5 goals. Also the Montreal Wanderers beating Toronto 10-9. The Wanderers arena burned down a few days later and had to withdraw. Toronto beat the Canadiens 10-7 in a total goals series for the NHL championship, then beat Vancouver ( PCHL champ) 3 games to 2 for the Stanley Cup.


The 1918-19 season saw Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa play.  Season had a 20 game schedule to be played in two halves.  Toronto had to withdraw after game 18 of the season due to financial constraints. (That will be a theme later). Montreal beat Ottawa 4 games to 1 for the NHL championship. NHL and the west coast League had their champions battle for the Cup). Montreal faced Seattle for the Stanley Cup. The series was at 2 wins for Montreal, 2 wins for Seattle and one game tied when the series was ended due to the Spanish Influenza.  Joe Hall had died from it during the series.  Was the first time a Stanley Cup wasn't decided.

Their roster fielded exclusively amateur players. The United States, as mentioned, won gold, Soviet Union the silver and Sweden the bronze. Next is the 1984 tournament in Sarajevo Yugoslavia (now Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦).
