There's one Cup to win. In the last 25 years, A Canadian team has had the opportunity to win 28% of the time. And in the timeframe, the only Canadian team to not have. SCF berth is the Jets (who didn't exist for 10 of those seasons). I really don't think there can be any complaints. If you picked any random group of 7 teams the same time-frame, numbers are likely worse than that.
Also, I genuinely don't care if a Canadian team wins or not, if it's not the Flames. They are just other teams in other cities, why do people care if a trophy crosses the border to a city they've never even been to and hate on the majority of the time?

This is still have the rate you’d expect given random chance. 2/32 teams make the finals. This suggests they should be represented 43% of the time rather than 28%. So that’s a significant under performance.
