Club History - 1922
|
Ottawa led the league in both goals scored (106) and fewest goals against(84). Although the Senators won the NHL title, the team lost the two-game total-point finals to Toronto. The second game ended up in a 0-0 tie after Toronto won the first match-up 5-4. |
The 1921-22 season turned out to be quite eventful. An NHL rule change eliminated the split-season schedule and instituted a playoff between the top two finishing teams. The league also reduced minor penalties from three minutes to two and put a 20-minute limit on over-time. Two youngsters, Frank Clancy and Frank Boucher were added to the Ottawa roster. Clancy scored a goal on his first NHL shot to defeat Hamilton in overtime, even though the puck failed to go in the net.|
Sprague CleghornSprague Cleghorn was one of the greatest but roughest defencemen the game of hockey has ever known. After playing the 1909-10 season with the New York Crescents, he went on to play six years with the Montreal Wanderers, a season split between Ottawa and Toronto, two full seasons with Ottawa, four with the Habs and three with Boston. Cleghorn had not been a popular player in Ottawa and, in 1922, when he joined the Canadiens, he appeared to have a vendetta against his former teammates. He died in Montreal on July 11, 1956.
