#LAST NHL TEAM TO WIN BACK TO BACK STANLEY CUPS SERIES#

Montreal would go on to win 23 more Stanley Cups, once in the 20′s, twice in the 30′s, twice in the 40′s, but the fifties is when they really solidified their position as a powerhouse of the sport. This regular season game of the Leafs vs Canadiens in the 40s is an absolute battleground /X0a3YpdEvx- Spittin' Chiclets December 7, 2021

#LAST NHL TEAM TO WIN BACK TO BACK STANLEY CUPS SERIES#

The series went to all five games, but it was the Canadiens who had their name etched on the Cup first. They won the first Stanley Cup ever back in 1916 when they took the National Hockey Association title and played the Portland Rosebuds who won the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. The Montreal Canadiens are the winningest franchise in the NHL, having won 24 Stanley Cups throughout their illustrious history. They back it up with a long lasting tradition of winning, as any place who invented a sport should. Montreal isn’t just credited with being the birthplace of the sport. Taking your skates and stick out is a right of passage for any Canadian kid who has dreams of making it to the NHL. It makes sense that ice hockey was birthed in Montreal, where it constantly snows and the ponds freeze over for five or six months of the year. The roots of the game are deeply seeded in the Canadian provinces. There is a rich history of Stanley Cup success and Canadian teams in the NHL, but it’s been decades since they lifted the Cup North of the Border. If it wasn’t for hockey, well, Canada just wouldn’t be the same.

If it wasn’t for Canada there would be no hockey.
