THE REGULAR SEASON
The 1921-22 NHL season saw the elimination of the divided schedule. The top two teams would move on to the playoffs based on their performance over the entire 24-game regular season rather than having a guaranteed postseason berth decided by midseason.
In Montreal, the season was marked by an ownership restructuring upon the death of Canadiens owner George Kennedy, who succumbed to the after-effects of the influenza epidemic that had forced the cancellation of the 1919 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
On the ice, Montreal coach Leo Dandurand, worked to shore up his defense, bringing back former Hab Billy Coutu and trading for noted roughneck Sprague Cleghorn, one of the league’s most feared rearguards. Cleghorn, Coutu and Bert Corbeau who each stood at least 5-foot-10 and weighed in at over 190 pounds, made the trio the first “Big Three” in Habs blue line history.
Odie and Sprague Cleghorn, the Canadiens first notable brother act, finished atop the team’s scoring list, recording 24 points each, with Sprague’s 63 penalty minutes leading all NHLers. Newcomer Billy Boucher chipped in 17 goals, serving notice that he was an offensive force in the big leagues.
While the team’s defense was solidified, the Canadiens lit the lamp only 88 times throughout the season. Their 12-11-1 record left them in third place as the season ended, out of the playoff picture for the third straight spring, something that would not reoccur for almost 80 years.
