Here's another weird anomaly... In 1997-98, the Rangers started wearing a jersey with a lace-up collar, something no NHL team had done in 20 years (since the 1977-78 Sabres).
Since then, many teams have followed suit and started wearing jerseys with lace-up collars, but the 2011 Bruins are the only team to win the Stanley Cup wearing a lace-up collar on their primary jersey.
Also of note, the 2004 Flames were the first modern team to play in the Final with a lace-up collar.
