During the 1939-1940 NHL season, the mortgage on “The House that Tex Built” was fully paid off. When the team that played there won the 1940 Stanley Cup, the arena’s management team burned the mortgage papers in the Cup in celebration. For this act of desecration, the hockey gods imposed the “Curse of 1940”, and this team would not win another championship for a half-century. The curse was finally lifted when they beat the Canucks in the 1994 Finals. What NHL team was allegedly afflicted with this curse?
New York Rangers
