On Wednesday, April 13th, 1927, the Ottawa Senators defeated the Boston Bruins at the Ottawa Auditorium in Ottawa to win the 14th Stanley Cup Finals two games to none with two ties. It was the fourth and final Stanley Cup championship for the original Senators franchise, and the sixth that was won in Ontario. This was also the first Stanley Cup Finals to be held between only National Hockey League teams. These are the top five players that I felt most stood out during the series.
