1918-19 Stanley Cup
Newsy Lalonde only played 7 games during the regular season. That’s why he isn’t anywhere on the scoring leaders list. Strained Triceps and sidelined him for over a month. He should be healthy to play in the Cup though. A big boost for
Montreal…
Game one starts out pretty even, but
Montreal scores 4 goals in the third to break the 1-1 deadlock and take game one, 5-1.
Seattle decided to get tough for game 2, pushing the
Habs around to a tune of 47 PIMS. The strategy worked. Despite being outshot 43-21, the
Metropolitans win it 6-2.
Seattle also needs to thank goalie
Ivan Mitchell for the standout performance, stopping 41 shots.
Game 2 star Ivan Mitchell
Seattle’s Art Ross scored 16 seconds into the third to tie a back and forth game three at 5.
Ross’ second goal of the game sent this one to overtime as no one was able to break the deadlock. It’s the first Stanley Cup game to ever need OT. Shorthanded,
Jack Walker potted the winner 41 seconds into the extra frame, giving
Seattle a 6-5 win and a 2-1 lead in the series!
Jack Walker, Overtime Hero!
Joe Malone put the
Habs on his back, and made each of them better in game 4.
Malone recorded 5 assists, leading
Montreal to a 6-4 win.
Game 5 was a close checking affair until the 3rd period. Tied at one,
Seattle scored twice in 2 minutes, and eventually led 4-2 with 5 minutes left.
Duke Keats and
Fred Harris each score for Montreal late to tie it, and
Newsy Lalonde wins it in OT!! The
Montreal comeback has them 1 game away from another Cup.

Defense went out the window in a memorable game 6.
Montreal scored 3 opening period goals, and led 4-2 nearing the end of the 2nd period.
Seattle would score twice in 50 seconds to tie it, only to see
Duke Keats net another for the
Habs before the period ended to give
Montreal the 5-4 lead. After exchanging goals,
Seattle would get two goals in 25 seconds to grab a 7-6 lead.
Duke Keats 2nd of the game ties it at the 14:41 mark.
Duke Keats completes the hat trick in dramatic fashion, breaking the tie with 26 seconds remaining.
Keats is the hero.
Montreal wins 8-7 and takes the series in 6!
Habs hero Duke Keats!
