Before 1968, there were only six teams.

When the NHL expanded in '68 (+Blues, Flyers, North Stars, Kings, Penguins and Seals), they put all 6 expansion teams in the "West" division and the 6 established clubs in the "East". This is why from 1968-70, the Blues made it to the Stanley Cup Finals. Somebody from the West had to get there. This also explains why St. Louis (with apologies to ander217) got swept every time.

It wasn't until the 1970-71 season, when the Canucks & Sabres were added, that the NHL started to balance the divisions by moving the Black Hawks to the West. (Chicago promptly won the West by a country mile the next 2 seasons)

Thanks QM, I was thinking the expansion had happened in the early 60s, and the 6 had continued to dominate. I redact my comment about your arbitrary-ness.

You can rest assured that the rest of the league (at least the teams that were around during the heyday of the Broad Street Bullies) hates the Flyers as well. This is, to my knowledge, unique in the NHL, being irrespective of conference, division, geography, or playoff history.

In 1974, the NHL added 2 new franchises: the Washington Capitals and the Kansas City Scouts. (this came on the heels of the NBA seeing the Royals moving from Cincinnati to Kansas City/Omaha to become the KC-Omaha Kings for 3 seasons) This was the closest Nebraska ever came to having an NHL team. After only 2 seasons, the Scouts moved to Colorado to become the Rockies before eventually relocating to New Jersey as the Devils.

I consider it fair play, considering the decades worth of player hoarding that the Canadiens and Leafs were able to get away with prior to elimination of the 50-mile radius rule and the C Form in the late 60s. Up until that point, the sole negotiating rights to every single player coming out of the hockey Mecca that was Greater Toronto and Montreal belonged to the Leafs and Habs, respectively. There were no significant developmental leagues anywhere outside of these two areas, so they basically had a lock on 90% of North American hockey talent for 40+ years. Given the barriers in place, it's not surprising the two teams were able to win 25 of the 42 Stanley Cups during that era. And it's not surprising either that once things were made more equal and talent could be acquired by the rest of the expanding league, they've managed a much more reasonable 10 of 48 (and 0 of the last 22) since.

I didn't realize that system was in place all those years which provides some explanation for all those Cups won by Toronto and Montreal. I guess I should feel fortunate that my Bruins finally broke through for a couple in the early 70s, as well as coming close a few other times during that decade, although the Habs still captured even more in the late 70s. The lack of success by the Bruins against the Canadiens in Stanley Cup playoff games and finals through the history of the NHL up until the mid 80s is actually almost unbelievable. My feelings for the Canadiens have seesawed between rage and admiration for decades. Otherwise, it was nice to see a whole new cadre of Cup winners starting in the early 80s.

As someone who lived through mid 80s and early aughts supporting the Penguins through perennial 5th and 6th place finishes in the division, I can tell you that the Pens losing for a few seasons in a row tends to result in drafting players like Mario Lemieux, Mark Recchi, Jaromir Jagr, Marc-Andre Fleury, Evgeni Malkin, and Sidney Crosby.

Accept "Habs" for Canadiens? VERY common nickname for them, for a VERY long time. Short for Habitants. (though the "H" within the "C" on their jersey logo stands for "Hockey", as in "Club de Hockey", not "Habitants")

I like underdog stories, but sometimes the better team should win. The Lightning were so much better than the Habs this year that it would have made regular season hockey seem pointless if the Habs won. Just be mediocre, sneak into the playoffs, and get hot at the right time. It's not good for the game. The Lightning were the best team and they took care of business.
