The Bruins played the Montreal Maroons that night at Boston Arena and won 2-1. The Maroons were also an expansion team in the NHL and was marketed to English speaking fans and they also built a new arena and became the Habs landlord.

The Maroons became very popular and the other team in Montreal came close to moving

Do any of these old radio broadcasts exist? Likely not from the 20s but from the 30s or 40s, did anyone archive any full games? I've heard some old radio broadcasts of baseball games because I got into that hobby a while back (the earliest archived one seems to be a Yankees-Tigers game from 1934), but I never thought to see if there were hockey games up there.
