in history class today, we were learning about strikes that took place after WWI. i found out that in 1919 i think nobody won the Stanley Cup. Montreal & Seatle were in the finls & they had won 2 games a piece. then the strike took place. so i was just wondering who do you guys tink would have won the Cup if the strike didn't happen??

First either you or your teacher was not paying attention. In 1919 the world was in the grips of one of the worst pandemics ever and the 1919 Cup final was cancelled when players also came down with the Spanish Flu.
BTW the Seattle team of that year was the transferred Vancouver Millionaire's team and as the home team I think they would have eventually won.

Yeah, I'm sorry, but you're wrong in everything you just said. lol
What strike are you talking about? The league (I think it was the NHA before it became the NHL) wasn't even unionized, so how can a strike take place? The only reason why there was no Cup was because of the Spanish Flu outbreak. Also, if I remember correctly from my sociology class, the concept of unions weren't even around back then.
Where do you live and go to school? I'm going to tell your teacher off for misfeeding such important information...

I thought there was a flu epidemic in 1919, and that being the reason the cup was not won.

Flip a coin. It is impossible to know.
And in case you didn't know, the Stanley Cup that year was canceled because of an influenza epidemic that killed one of their players, not because of strikes or the war.

I didn't think Seattle had a team in 1919.

how would we know, since none of us here probably were not around to witness this series? If i had to guess, id say Seattle would have won, just guessing though......
but i dont really know who would have won.
