Quick question regarding possible Cup Final "Rubber Match"

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

If we have to play the Crosbyburgh Crosbys AGAIN in the Cup Finals, I might hang myself.

If it means the Wings are back in the Finals, I'd take it.

As long as they're healthy, the Wings would win.

as much as i would love the wings to put the rivalry to rest between us and the crosbys, i just don't feel the rist is worth it. i thought it was last year, and im still holding down vomit every time i see a replay of crosby hoisting lord stanley's cup

Wings could face off against the 80's oilers for all I care if it is the SCF!

3 scf in a row, 4 wcf in a row.

That would make a happy Opie, even in loss, that is f-ing unreal!

You guys have no faith in the wings. I'd play pens in the final any day.

I wonder what was the last such 3-peat in league history?

If I'm not mistaken, the Islanders in the 80's were the last team to make three straight Finals appearances. Gretzky's Oilers couldn't do it, Mario's Penguins couldn't do it, and the Wings haven't been able to do it.

It's hard to make it to the Finals three times in a row, let alone for both teams to make it. I think the odds are against either team making it just based on history. But that could change so you never know.

It's only happend once....54 years ago when there were only 6 teams in the league. Montreal and Detroit made the finals from 1954-1956.

Interesting. Makes sense for the original 6 (only 4 made the playoffs). It's really hard to imagine with 30 teams!

I was pulling for the Rangers to get a spot

He meant only 4 made the playoffs back when there were only 6 teams in the league, so making it to the Finals 3 years in a row was a heck of a lot more likely.

He didn't mean that only 4 of the Original 6 teams made the playoffs this year....although, that's true.

Edit: at least I think that's what he meant.

For sure. The fact that it even happend twice is incredible is you ask me!

The fact its the Wings doing it time after time...Priceless.
