REGULAR SEASON Just prior to the start of the 1937-38 season, the Montreal Maroons dropped out of the league. With only seven teams left, the NHL decided to go back to the one division format. Also prior to the start of the season, the Boston Bruins sold their star Goaltender , Tiny Thompson , who had just won a record 4th Vezina Trophy , to the Detroit Red Wings . Thompson's replacement, rookie Frank Brimsek , would go on to back-stop the Bruins to a first overall finish and a Stanely Cup victory. He also became the first goaltender to win both the Vezina Trophy and Calder Trophy in the same season.
