Originally, it was said that Babe Ruth's move to the New York Yankees cursed his former team, the Boston Red Sox. Could it be that the Red Sox have somehow cursed the National Hockey League?
1918 - The Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
1919 - The NHL cancelled the Stanley Cup playoffs because of a worldwide flu epidemic.
2004 - The Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
2005 - The NHL cans their entire season, no Stanley Cup playoffs.
Thanks to Rick Martinez for this tidbit.
