LifeScience Moment: The Stanley Cup playoffs between the Montreal Canadians and the Seattle Metropolitans cancelled by Spanish flu.
On April 1, 1919, the Stanley Cup playoffs between the Montreal Canadians and the Seattle
Metropolitans ended tied at 2-2-1 after the city of Seattle health department called
off the series. On April 5, 1919, five days after the final was cancelled, one Canadian
player Joseph Henry “Bad Joe” Hall, the oldest player in NHL hockey, succumbed to pneumonia.
He was posthumously inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961. He was 37 years old.
The series was ruled a tie and the Stanley Cup was not awarded in 1919, the only time
since it's inception in 1893. The Metropolitans won the Stanley Cup in 1917 when they
defeated the Montreal Canadians.
