[Matttomic] The last three times the Montreal Canadiens have appeared in a Stanley Cup final (1989, 1993, 2021) were immediately followed by an MLB work stoppage. Baseball's karma is paying for hockey's sins.

For the first time since 1993, the Montréal Canadiens are headed to the Stanley Cup Final
When Montreal and Vegas meet in the Stanley Cup Semifinals, they will be 2,240 mi/3,605 km apart. This will mark the farthest distance between two opponents in the NHL semifinals, passing the 1993 Clarence Campbell Finals between Toronto and Los Angeles (2,174 mi/3,498 km).
And for the record, I was using the straight-line method to calculate the distance, not Google Maps.
[NHL PR] Philip Danault, who hails from Victoriaville, Que., became the first Quebec-born player to score for the @CanadiensMTL in the Stanley Cup Final since Stephan Lebeau (Saint-Jerome, Que.) in Game 5 of the 1993 Final.

This Day in Kings’ History (1993): Wayne Gretzky’s Game 7 hat trick leads the Kings to the Stanley Cup Final
v.redd.it/t9tm3xqx8q151
TIL the Montreal Canadiens played in 44% of Stanley Cup Finals between 1916-1993
34 appearances in 77 years. Only 9 losses (the 1919 final was never finished due to the influenza pandemic).
They've followed it up by playing in 0% of the last 26 finals.
23 years go, June 3rd 1993, Marty McSorley gets called for an illegal stick in game 2 of the Stanley Cup final.
Reports suggested Canadiens coach Jacques Demers knew which of the Kings' hockey sticks to challenge, thanks to a Montreal Forum employee assigned to the Kings' locker room who temporarily moved the Kings' portable stick rack to the Montreal's locker room. Demers has denied this and credited captain Guy Carbonneau with spotting McSorley's illegal stick.
Because it's the cup
As requested by my Habs fans, here’s my latest watercolour portrait of Patrick Roy with the 1993 Stanley cup. Hope you like & share 🙏
With Phoenix's win tonight, the last time any of the remaining Western Conference teams was in the Stanley Cup Finals was the 1993 L.A. Kings. Before that? The 1970 St. Louis Blues.
And none of these remaining Western Conference franchises has ever won a Stanley Cup. Should be interesting.
Also, if Florida, Ottawa, and Washington win, Philadelphia will be the only remaining 2012 playoff franchise with a Stanley Cup (if, of course, you don't count the original Ottawa Senators).
Canadiens win back-to-back playoff games in OT for first time since Game 3 and 4 of 1993 Stanley Cup Finals.

Mark Hardy NAILS Mike Keane (Montreal v.s. LA, 1993 Stanley Cup Finals)
Why no Canadian NHL team has ever won the Stanley Cup since 1993
Were the 2008 and 2009 Stanley cup finals between the Penguins and Red Wings the best finals series’ since the lockout?
The amount of star talent was simply baffling. The Red Wings, led by Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, Rafalski and company, were Mike Babcock’s finest team. Experienced, battle-tested vets vs. the up-and-coming Penguins, led by Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Staal, and Gonchar. Throw in Hossa on both sides and an intense game 7 in the latter final. Thoughts?
With 2 days left before the season's opener, here is 1984 2nd overall pick Kirk Muller scoring the 1993 Stanley Cup GWG against the Los Angeles Kings.

A Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1993. The chance of this happening by random chance is...
Since 1993, every player on a team that wins the Stanley Cup had the right to spend an entire day with it. Traditionally, hockey players bring it to their hometowns and show it to friends and family, but sometimes the cup is used in unconventional ways.

The Montreal Canadiens are on pace to have the worst point total for a team reaching the Stanley Cup Final in the previous year (since 2001)
I only went back to 2001 because that's when the loser point was added for OT so other point totals may have been skewed.
The previous distinction was held by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2003 at 61 points.

Is there a reason TV announcers are pronouncing Grzelcyk's last name as Griezlyk? It's not even close to how it's spelled. It's been bothering me ever since I first heard it during Blues vs Bruins Stanley Cup Final..

Last CH Stanley Cup scoresheet .... a young team for sure. Go Habs Go ! but this year is not 1993.
TIL There are three Stanley Cups in existence. The original cup was retired back in 1970 over concerns of how fragile it had become. An exact replica was cast and created to take its place. The third was created in 1993 for an exhibit in the hockey hall of fame, and has never left Ontario Canada.

Mods, sorry if this isn't allowed! Figured people might be interested.
The North Remembers: the last 3 times that the NHL Montreal Canadiens appeared in the Stanley Cup Final (1989, 1993 and 2021), this was immediatley followed by a MLB lockout.
