1927-28 NHL season
The 1927-28 NHL season was a very interesting one. Trent Kalmanovich, a forward for the Boston Bulldogs set a new record in points and goals in the league with 73 and 36 respectively. While Bulldogs forward Brad Jones set a record for assists in 43!
Veteran goalie Nicolas Lepage for the Quebec Voyageurs set a new record for wins in a season with 30 and 11 shutouts! While Matt Merrill, a young goalie for the Ottawa Senators set a record save percentage with .922!
A seasons of record indeed, especially with the Voyageurs' incredible season, but a question must be asked, even with the longterm success of the Voyageurs is the Quebec City market big enough to sustain a team?
Unfortunately for the Senators, even if they posted a great record they were playing in the most competitive division, meaning they will not be making the playoffs.
The Rangers and especially the Black Hawks have a terrible first season, it's not unexpected considering the lack of talent on each of their squad but it still does not look good for either franchise.
