Championship playoff loss on a shootout....
Assembled three trio of forwards, two pairs of defensemen, from the reserves and the garbage that remained free agents. Fallen behind Quebec in the regular season, tied on points in the last round.
Playoffs of two games on aggregate goals. The first game was soundly defeated by a score of 1-6. The second game was a 7-2 win. Overtime didn't make a difference.
I didn't even think there would be a shootout after overtime. Another overtime... Replay... But the shootout. The weakest player on the roster came out and didn't score. Quebec's Joe Malone came out and scored. Quebec is the champion.
Shootouts in 1916, how?))))))) It's not even in the league notes. If I'd have known, I'd have put Lalonde in. Okay. Great game, great emotions. I want more historical realism)
