Rangers dethroned by the Bruins
In the first Stanley Cup final game ever played at Madison Square Garden, the defending champion Rangers fell to the Boston Bruins, 2-1.

The Bruins, a fifth-year team, won both games of the series (2-0 in Game 1) to earn their first Stanley Cup. The game was also the first Cup final between two American-based teams. The Rangers, who went 21-13-10, had beaten the New York Americans and the Toronto Maple Leafs to reach the final.
