Stanley Cup
How many defending Stanley Cup Champions did not make the playoffs the next season?
With the NHL regular season about over, and the Carolina Hurricanes out of the playoff picture, albeit just two points, who are the other NHL teams that were defending Stanley Cup Champions to not make the playoffs the next season after they won the Cup?
Toronto Arenas- Won the Cup in 1918, then lost out of the playoffs in 1919.
Toronto St. Pats- Won the Cup in 1922, then missed the playoffs the following year.
Detroit Red Wings- Won the Cup in 1937, then missed the playoffs the next season.
Chicago Blackhawks- Won the Cup in 1938, then missed the playoffs the next season.
Toronto Maple Leafs- Won the Cup in 1945, then missed the 1946 playoffs.
Toronto Maple Leafs- Won the Cup in 1967, then missed the playoffs the year of the expansion from 6 to 12 teams.
Montreal Canadiens- Won the Cup back-to-back years in 1968 and 69, then missed the playoffs in 1970.
New Jersey Devils- Won the Cup in 1995, then missed the playoffs the following year.
In all, the Toronto Arenas- St. Pats- Maple Leafs franchise has gone from winning it all to being on the outside the next year 4 times, the most of any franchise.
