Stanley Cup 1923-24 Season
In order to claim the Stanley Cup, the Montreal Canadiens needed to defeat both the WCHL Champion Vancouver Maroons and the PCHA Champion Calgary Tigers. Billy Boucher scored three of the Canadiens' five goals, including both game winners, to eliminate Vancouver. Against Calgary, Montreal's 21-year-old rookie Howie Morenz registered a hat-trick in games one and two as the Habs completed the sweep. Game two of the final series was played in Ottawa to take advantage of the artificial ice surface.
National Hockey League (NHL) pages on Rauzulu's Street:
^ topSince the final were scheduled to occur in the west, the champions of the Pacific Coast Hockey League (PCHL) would play the champions of the NHL to determine who would play the champions of the WCHL for the Stanley Cup.
The NHL played a two game, total goal series between the first and second place teams to determine a champion. The PCHL played a two game total goals series to determine a champion. The WCHL played a two game total goal semi final between the second and third place teams with the winner facing the first place team in a two game, total goal series.
