The last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup was in 1993 when the Montreal Canadians beat the Los Angeles Kings the series was 4-1. The last time that a Canadian team was in the cup final was in 2011 when the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Boston Bruins. Vancouver lost that series 4-3 in Vancouver and after the game there were riots in the streets of Vancouver cars were getting set on fire and getting tipped over. Does Canada even want a team to go to the cup final because if the team loses would there be another riot?.
In my opinion I think that the next Canadian team to win the cup would be the Montreal Canadians because they have the best record out of Canadian teams right now and they made it far in last years playoffs but with recent struggles and how the Vancouver Canucks have been dominating the last games they have been playing. there is a saying that the west wins the cup probably because people might think that they have the more powerful teams and if that is true than the Vancouver Canucks have a good chance if they can keep up being in the top 3 teams. Are those the only Canadian teams that could win this year?. No the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Winnipeg Jets as well as the Calgary Flames are in good positions and if they can hold those positions until the all-star game they should be good because over the last 3 years 75% of teams that have been in a playoff spot after the all-star game have made the playoffs and if those 5 Canadian teams can hold their spots than Canada would have a good chance of finally hoisting the cup again on Canadian soil.
