1937-38 NHL Regular Season

The Best player in the league is Syl Apps, but for today, im gonna highlight the best goalie, and amazingly, it’s Frank Brimsek.

Brimsek was the last first overall pick of the Ottawa Senators who had 2 top picks as goalies already. After they folded, Brimsek sat out a whole year. When he came back, he was a 1.5 player and a backup. A year later, look at his ratings. He took his Americans to a Cup final, and now looks like a superstar at such a young age!

Holy Crap, I though last years Red Wings got off to a good start. They beat it this year. On New Years eve, the Red Wings sit 17-1-1. At the end of this season, I think it would be a fun idea to compare the results of this Red Wings team to the Habs of 20 years ago!

The American Division has completely passed the Canadian Division. At the trade deadline(where there were a bunch of deals, but all very minor), the Leafs have 25 points, leading the Canadian Division. The New York Rangers also have 25 points, which is good for last place in the American Division. It took more then a decade, but the power has shifted!

Detroit suffers a major blow. In early February, Bobby Bauer tore a back muscle. It’s bad, and he will miss the rest of the season.

Bauer

It’s questionable if he will be ready next year. Bauer had 18 goals, and 18 assists in his 34 games, easily a career year. He’s become one of the top wingers in all of hockey. Even on a team like Detroit, they can’t replace a player like Bauer.

Final Standings

Detroit might be in trouble. Bauer was injured in the 10th of February. Detroit went 3-8-1 without the winger, including 7 losses in a row! They clearly aren’t the same team.

Wow, Normie Smith, the Bruins back- up goalie, leads the league in 2 major goaltending categories, but still ends up in the minors! He was actually acquired by the Maroons, who sent him down right away. Syl Apps becomes the only man to break the 60 point plateau more then once!!
