The American teams mainly have Canadian players playing on the rosters, so I don't know why Canada freaks about not having a cup that much. It really bites though because we've had 4 opportunities to get the SC back in Canada, we're Just really snake-bitten in the 21st century.

1. CGY lost in 7 (2003-2004)
2. EDM lost in 7 (2005-2006)
3. OTT lost in 5 (2006-2007)
4. VAN lost in 7 (2010-2011)

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but all three of the game 7's, the Canadian team was up 3-2 in the series and somehow lost the last two games.

The only hope this year is the Canadiens and I really don't think they have a shot when you got Boston to beat if you beat Tampa Bay. I don't even think they will beat Tampa Bay either. The western conference just has so many good teams yet again, that another American team will yet again win the cup.

It also doesn't help that the odds a Canadian team will bring back the cup is 23.3%.
