By the end of the season, they would suspend operations. The Boston Bruins famous Kraut Line of Milt Schmidt, Bobby Bauer and Woody Dumart enlists in the Royal Canadian Air Force and eventually goes overseas. Boston finishes third as a result. Montreal Canadiens owner Frank Patrick suffers a heart attack and sells his interest in the team. They almost end up moving to Cleveland.  Quarterfinals had Boston beat Chicago 2-1 and Detroit beat Montreal 2-1. Semi finals had Detroit beat Boston 2-0 and Toronto beat New York 4-2.
