Only once in history has "no decision" been reached in Stanley Cup play. That was in 1919. The National Hockey League had been formed by then, and the Montreal Canadiens were League champions. The trustees decided on a series between the Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans, champions of the Pacific Coast Hockey League.
Montreal embarked on a long trip to he west, since the PCHL season had two more week's to run. The Canadiens were playing exhibition games along the way to keep sharp. The so-called "black flu" was sweeping the continent at the same time, although none of the players had been stricken.

It should have been in 99' where that punk Brett Hull illegally booted in the "game winner" to end game 6 in Buffalo and give the cheating stars a 4-2 "win".

That goal was the best thing that could have happened to hockey. We needed this to happen in a big game like this for them to get rid of that stupid in the crease rule, which they did right after. I just knew that the NHL would change it after that. What a stupid rule. It ruined hockey, and I am so thankful that this rule is gone. Thanks to Brett Hull, the NHL is back to being a watchable sport.
