Every 1924-25 NHL playoff series, three ways: the season race carried on into the postseason, who beat their seeding, and the bracket.
Loading playoff data…
The same race these clubs ran all season, carried on through the postseason on one scale and on real dates.
Where each club finished the season against how far it went, ranked on record rather than seed.
Who played whom, round by round, which no line chart can say.
Montréal Canadiens won the 1924-25 NHL title from a regular season record of 17-11-2, and Victoria Cougars won the Stanley Cup. 2 NHL teams and 1 club from another league played in the playoffs, and the bracket ran 2 rounds. Victoria Cougars of the WCHL played no NHL season, so it appears on the bracket and not on the race. The Hamilton Tigers finished first and had a place in the final, but their players refused to play it unless each was paid $200 more. The league suspended them, and the semifinal between Montréal and Toronto became the NHL final. Every series below is taken from the NHL API; nothing on this page is estimated.
| Round | Won by | Result | Opponent | Played |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NHL Semifinal | Montréal Canadiens | 2-0 in games, 5-2 on goals | Toronto St. Patricks | March 11 to March 13, 1925 |
| Stanley Cup Final | Victoria Cougars | 3-1 in games | Montréal Canadiens | March 21 to March 30, 1925 |
The left column ranks this field by regular season record, not by seed number: seeding rules differ by era, so this site uses records everywhere instead. The right column groups clubs by the round they went out in, which is not the same as the number of rounds they won, because a bye carries a club further without it winning anything. The figure beside a name is places moved between the two columns, and part of it is only where a club sat inside its band. Nothing here is a prediction. The data notes carry the whole method, and a standings race and the playoffs that followed it says what each of the three views is for.
