Says the folks who's teams are tanking this year.
As far as stats then and now... True that the OT system does skew things BUT, "back in the day" there was no parity for large and small market teams (a la the salary cap) AND Canadians had a massive home court advantage. The Habs haven't had that home grown stars advantage in many decades and the names on the cup reflects that.
p.s. The 3rd point for OT winners was started in 1999-2000 and no one has come this fast to 50 games in 23 years.
