  1. Seattle needs another team today


  2. Gotta love the spanish influenza.

  3. Spanish flu, homer.

  4. No cup was awarded because of the flu epidemic.

    The 1919 Stanley Cup Finals ended with no decision after an outbreak of Spanish Influenza forced the cancellation of the series between the National Hockey League (NHL) champion Montreal Canadiens and the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA) champion Seattle Metropolitans.

    Both teams had won two games, lost two, and tied one before health officials were forced to cancel the deciding game of finals. Several players on both sides fell ill with the flu, and it would eventually claim the life of Canadiens' star Joe Hall four days later. Canadiens manager George Kennedy also would not recover completely and died a few years later. This was the first time in history when the Stanley Cup was not awarded after the playoffs began.
