1940-1941 Season in Review
The Rangers and Amerks finished #1 and #2 in the Standings but it was Montreal defeating Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup final.
Boston's Lou Ray led the league in goals and points with Pittsburgh D-man Richard Sheppard leading in assists. Sheppard also won his 2nd consecutive defenceman of the year.
William Scholz retired at the end of last season as the NHL all time leader in points (1,119) and assists (810).
In New York news James E. Norris has purchased a minority interest in Madison Square Garden (but he holds the largest interest) while we've received a bid for the Americans franchise as the same time. It looks like Norris is trying to take control of the New York market - all withing league rules since he isn't the bidder on the Americans. He may push the Rangers out of MSG.
St. Louis continues to suffer under the cost of travel, poorly financed ownership and the general economics of the time.
