Despite the continued presence of Shore, Thompson, and Clapper, playoff success eluded the Bruins for the better part of a decade, though the team did manage several more first place finishes in the American Division and had just two losing seasons.
Clapper was replaced in 1949-50 by Buck Boucher, who gave way the next season to Lynn Patrick; when Ross retired from his general manager’s position in the 1953-54 season, Patrick replaced him, and remained in that position until 1965.
