	Stanley Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Until 1910, when Cup trustees declared that only players who played in their league's regular season were eligible to play for the Cup, it was commonplace for both champion and challenger in the challenge series to bring in professional ringers to play the challenge games.
		The first year the Stanley Cup was not contested was 1918, when the influenza epidemic that ravaged the world that year forcing the cancellation of the series between the Montreal Canadiens and the Seattle Metropolitans, with Montreal's "Bad" Joe Hall dying from the flu.
		The bands were finally filled up in 1991 when a decision was made to preserve the top band of the large barrel in the Hockey Hall of Fame and introduce a new blank band at the bottom so that the size of the Stanley Cup would not grow further.

		The Sharks put seven shots on goal in the final period, but not one of them was from a very high percentage angle and the quality scoring chances were kept to a bare minimum as the resilient Flames kept the pressure on.
		Calgary finally got on the board late in the first when Curtis Brown was whistled for the only penalty of the period, a four-minute high-sticking infraction at 18:27.
		The New Jersey Devils' six-game victory over Philadelphia, en route to the 1995 Cup, in the Eastern Conference finals was the other...Calgary ended 1-for-4 on the power play, while the Sharks were scoreless on three chances with the extra skater.

		Moreover, Gretzky won four Stanley Cups while with the Edmonton Oilers and brought the moribund Los Angeles Kings to life...
		The defense, with Coffey mostly a power-play specialist in the finals because of his injured jaw, was an unlikely concoction of discards, but it somehow got the job done.

		ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Colorado Avalanche lost a Stanley Cup final game to the Devils two years ago when goalie Patrick Roy wandered from the net and couldn't get back to defend a shot.
		This time, a misplay equally as implausible by their own star goaltender, Martin Brodeur, has tightened up a Stanley Cup final the Devils seemed to have in their control.
		But the Devils just as easily could have been up, 3-0, with a chance to raise their third cup since 1995 tonight.

	Mighty Ducks having devil of a time in Stanley Cup finals - May 29, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The numbers certainly are against the Mighty Ducks now: nearly 80 percent of the teams that win Game 1 go on to win the finals; the Devils have lost only once in 10 home playoff games this spring; and they have won the last seven playoff series they led 1-0, including two finals (1995, 2000).
		The Minnesota Wild, eliminated in the minimum four games by the Ducks, are the closest thing to a New Jersey West — the Wild’s coach, Jacques Lemaire, won the Cup with the Devils in 1995, and they still incorporate some of his style and substance in their game.
		He is the only three-time winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy, awarded to the MVP of the playoffs, and is the league’s career leader in wins and games played.

	1998 Stanley Cup Finals Notes: Washington Capitals
		There was the threat of Cup Hangover, changes in personnel, lack of desire, and the cold hard fact that no team -- and there have been some pretty impressive Cup Winners recently -- has repeated since the 1992 Penguins.
		Everyone was sure of the West’s continued possession of the Cup, everyone outside of Washington’s Beltway, that is. There, in a geographical region that has confounded for centuries, hope springs eternal.
		The last time a Stanley Cup was considered won in the Conference Finals was 1994 (a quick check shows a couple of unlucky souls who figured Florida’s Rat Power good for another round in 1996), when the Rangers and Devils went to double overtime in Game 7, the winner to face the seventh-seeded Vancouver Canucks.
