 | | Boston entered the series with a considerable advantage, however: their front three of Young (28-9, 2.08), Bill Dinneen (21-13, 2.26), and Tom Hughes (20-7, 2.57) were all available to steer the Pilgrims' ship. |
 | | Dinneen shut out the Bucs (and the valiant Phillippe), 3-0, for his third win of the match, clinching the series with an appropriate punchout of Wagner. |
 | | The fans, intoxicated with joy, "tumbled on the field, shrieked, sang, and danced, while the new world champions were carried to their dressing room on the backs of the crowd," Lieb wrote. |
