Number of Cup wins by each final regular season rank.
Posted 5:17 PM ET | Comments 0
I was thinking about the President's Trophy and its curse. Past winners and losers, etc., so I decided to do some research and figure out what each Cup winners' (since 1986) regular season final ranking was. There are two lists of rankings. One by final conference rank, one by overall.
Regular season final ranking (Overall NHL standings) and number of Cup winners per.
1st overall = 7 Cup wins. (Edm. 86, Cal. 89, NYR 94, Dal. 99, Col. 01, Det. 02, Det. 08)
2 = 2 (Col. 96, TB 04)
3 = 5 (Edm. 88, NJ 03, Car. 06, Ana. 07, Chi. 10)
4 = 2 (Det. 08, NJ 00)
5 = 2 (Edm. 90, Det. 07)
6 = 2 (Bos. 11, Mon. 93)
7 = 2 (Pitt. 91, 92)
8 = 2 (Mon. 86, Pitt. 09)
9 = 1 (NJ 95)
10, 11, 12 = 0
13 = 1 (LA)
14, 15, 16 = 0
Rankings by Conference and Cup wins
1 = 8
2 = 8
3 = 4
4 = 3
5 = 2
6, 7 = 0
8 = 1 (LA)
I had some time on my hands and I like research and numbers, so hopefully people like it.
