Interesting! What are the team names and what are the odds for each team?

We have the Boston Admirals, Buffalo Chiefs, Connecticut Colonials, Montreal Giants (English-speaking MTL), Le Hockey Club De Montreal (French-speaking MTL), New York Pirates, Ottawa Lions, Philadelphia Guardians and the Toronto Trojans. Each team has a number for the season. The higher the number the better they are projected to be. For example the Admirals are 9,  the Lions are 8 and the Guardians are 1.

1941 Williams Cup Final
Boston Admirals vs Le Hockey Club de Montreal

Prior to the series, longtime Admiral Freddie Schwartz announced that he would be retiring after 16 years with the franchise. The phase “win it for Freddie” became well known in Boston during the season. Game 1 would be at the Copley Arena in Boston. Just 80 seconds in, Montreal would strike first on a goal by Francis Chevalier. Turns out that would be all they needed as Jean LaGasse was again fabulous in the net for the MHC.

Game 2 would be another 1-0 game but Boston goalie David O’Connell would out-duel LaGasse. Jared Martin would score the winner for Boston late in the second period to tie the series heading to Montreal.

Game 3 in Montreal was all Admirals however as Freddie Schwartz scores twice along with Martin to give Boston a 2-1 series lead.

Game 4 would be a wild one as the MHC raced out to a 3-0 lead after 1 period. The Admirals got within one as Jared Martin scores twice in the second but Pierre Bonaparte would respond with a goal with time running out in the second to make it 4-2. The third period would be crazy as 4 different Admirals would score within 2 minutes and 46 second of each other to make 6-4 in favor of Boston. The Ads would nurse that lead with about a minute to go however, Chevalier would pull Montreal within one. With 8 seconds left Boston cleared the puck and started to celebrate but left to much time for Yves Plante. Plant got to the Admiral blue line, took a hard shot and improbably went in just before the buzzer to tie the game. However in OT Schwartz would score what would turn out to be his final goal in pro hockey to give Boston the win and a chance to win the title at home.

Game 5 was pretty boring, unless you’re an MHC fan. Jean LaGasse was fabulous stopping 28 of 29 shots he faced. Russell Lane would score both Montreal goals as they took 2-1 and forced game 6 at home.

Game 6 was a blowout as the MHC finally ran out of gas. Jared Martin scored a hat-trick and his older brother Conner would ad 2 more to give the Boston Admirals the first ever Williams Cup.

G1: MHC 1-0 BOS
G2: MHC 0-1 BOS
G3: BOS 5-2 MHC
G4 BOS 7-6 MHC (OT)
G5: MHC 2-1 BOS
G6: BOS 5-1 MHC

Congrats to the Admirals and their fans! The offseason is next!
