1929-30 NHL Regular Season

Tiny Thompson returns to the Habs lineup after missing the whole 1928-29 season. George Hainsworth, who won the Vezina Trophy will be the backup for the season. Tough pill for him to swallow.

Welcome back!

Red Horner has returned after missing the 2nd half of last season with a ruptured collateral ligament. 4 games into this season, he suffered a head injury against the Canadiens. He’s expected to miss the remainder of the season. Horner has no luck at all since being traded to Chicago.

No luck at all for Horner

By new years, it’s evident that goal scoring is up significantly over the last 2 years. Goals per game stands at 4.98 so far, almost a full 1.5 more then last year. There is also 8 players getting more then a PPG.

I haven’t talked much about history and all time leaders yet, cuz I want to build up history a bit, but entering the 30’s, it’s probably time to recognize some things. Howie Morenz scored twice on January 2nd against Detroit. Those are career goals 128 and 129. Morenz passes Cy Denneny to become the all-time NHL leader in goals scored!!

This is Morenz’s 6th season in the NHL. At 27, he’s got a lot of time to add to that record. Denneny retired in 1927, with 127 goals in 260 games. Morenz has played 210 so far.

NHL's best goal scorer

No real playoff races this year. The Top and bottom classes seem really defined at the moment. The Good teams are really good, and the bad teams have little chance against them. Lets take a look at the final standings.

The Maroons lose two times all season. They are clearly the favourites to repeat as champions.

Montreal's Joe Primeau and Hooley Smith are running the league ragged!

Tiny Thompson did become the starter for the Habs in his comeback season, but he didn't have a good year. Montreal finished last in their division, with Thompson putting up a career worst performance. Here are his last two seasons played.
