That was the beginning to the end. We lost to a 44-year old goalie. It's even worse than losing to an EBUG.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

On this day in 1928, during Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Montreal Maroons, 44-year-old New York Rangers coach Lester Patrick replaced injured goalie Lorne Chabot in net. He stopped 18 of 19 shots in a Rangers victory.
The Rangers won the Stanley Cup in five games.

It's today! Hip, hip hurray!

[Googly Moogly @GooglyMoogly666]

Three days until we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Montreal Maroons' first Stanley Cup championship.

Only 14 seasons, but still beloved and very much missed. Still rebuilding though. We'll be back.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

The Montreal Maroons only existed for 14 seasons but in that time they helped reshape the NHL, won two Stanley Cups and had 11 players and five coaches enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
This is the story of Montreal's other NHL team.

Canaroons, eh?
We'd rather stay dormant.

[Andrew Zadarnowski @AZadarski]

Fun fact: in 1938, when the Montreal Maroons were looking at folding, they proposed to the league that they merge with the Canadiens to form a single team, the Canaroons.
The Canadiens laughed them off, the Maroons folded, and the Canadiens still took the Maroons’ best players.

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

Ah, yes! This was our secret weapon - spitting tobacco juice in opposing goalie's eyes. Got us two Stanley Cups.
Ah, the S-line. Google it, kids.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

On this day in 1899, Nels Stewart was born in Montreal.
Known as Old Poison for spitting tobacco juice in goalie's eyes, he won two Harts and a Stanley Cup in his Hall of Fame career.

Our Maroons, forever engrained in hockey history. We will be back, just resting.

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

@HabsFinn Nice, very nice. But we should play in the re-erected Forum. We can practice in Verdun.

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

It was a great day for hockey, though it's still a mystery why the Broonz were granted a franchise. What have they ever done for hockey?

[Vintage Hockey Showcase @hockey_vintage]

101 years ago today ON THIS DAY in hockey history (October 11, 1924):

The NHL grants franchises to the Boston Bruins and Montreal Maroons for $15,000 ahead of the 1924/25 NHL season. The @NHLBruins were the 1st US-based team to join the NHL and also named Art Ross as their GM

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

We shouldn't have done that deal. It broke our S-line. And the owner got some liquor for the cash.

[Vintage Hockey Showcase @hockey_vintage]

#WaybackWednesday 93 years ago today ON THIS DAY in hockey history (July 2, 1932):

The @NYRangers acquire Albert "Babe" Siebert from the Montreal Maroons for cash

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

No, no. We are resting. This is just temporary. We'll be back. #GoMaroons

[Vintage Hockey Showcase @hockey_vintage]

#StatSunday 87 years ago today ON THIS DAY in hockey history (June 22, 1938):

The Montreal Maroons announce they are folding and withdrawing from the NHL, leaving the league to just 7 teams

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

In our days this was never an issue. It was always "Go! Maroons Go!".

[CityNews Montreal @CityNewsMTL]

#WATCH: “Priorities in the wrong place,” said Montrealer Maria D.M., about the OQLF asking the STM to drop the word ‘Go’ from bus messages like ‘Go! Habs Go!’. They now read “Allez! Canadiens Allez!”

[Patrice Roy @PatriceRoyTJ]

À Montréal, « Allez! Canadiens Allez! » vient désormais remplacer le traditionnel « Go! Canadiens Go! » sur les autobus de la STM pour les séries éliminatoires de la LNH, en réaction à une plainte partagée par l’OQLF.

The biggest Cup run ever.

@MTLMaroons
Happy 90th Anniversary for winning the 1935 @NHL #StanleyCup Championship.

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

Big day for the Maroons and all its fans. A giant day for mankind.

[Mike Commito @mikecommito]

On this day in 1926, the Montreal Maroons won their first Stanley Cup #Hockey365

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

Of course he is a Hall of Famer..

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

Bloody well right.

[Szymon Szemberg @Sz1909_Szemberg]

1. It's a shame that not more was done to preserve the history and the spirit of the true cathedral of hockey, the iconic Forum, where the @CanadiensMTL and the @MTLMaroons won a total of 24 Stanley Cups. It's completely soulless. >

[Montreal Maroons @MTLMaroons]

No wonder we folded when Canadiens' players were breaking our noses.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Jan. 7, 1930:
Clint Benedict's nose was broken by a Howie Morenz slapshot. When he returned weeks later, he was wearing a mask. He was the first NHL goalie to wear a mask, although he was not the first hockey goalie to do so.

It can be admitted today. We should have signed Morenz. Lousy scouting reports.

[Vintage Hockey Showcase @hockey_vintage]

97 years ago today ON THIS DAY in hockey history (January 7, 1928):

Howie "The Stratford Streak" Morenz scores a hat trick (including his 100th career goal) in the @CanadiensMTL 9-1 win over the Leafs, the first team in NHL history to allow 2 goals or less in 20 straight games
