New York would have to play game two in Boston, due to the circus having been booked into Madison Square Garden.

[edit] Stanley Cup engraving
- Conn Smythe son Stafford Smythe (who later served as Toronto Maple President from 1958 to 1970) is youngest person to be engraved on the Stanley Cup at age 11. His name was also engraved sideways on the original ring. It was engraved the correct way on the newer version.
- Conn Smythe was engraved twice, once as Conn Smythe, Manager other time as Conn Smythe -- Managing Director. His name was only included once on the newer version of the Stanley Cup.
- Smythe wanted to include 17 investors on the Stanley Cup, and playoff scores. In order to have enough room 5 players names were engraved by their last name only: Darragh, Finnigan, Gracie, Miller, Robertson. When the cup was redesigned during 1957–58 season the playoff game scores, 17 investors, and 5 players listed by only their last name only were removed. Those 5 players played every playoff game, and qualified to be on the cup. There was more than enough room to include them. † Left off the newer ring.
