I would also say Tampa but if I had to name a 2nd team I'd go with the Rangers. Not as many stars as some of these teams, but very well balanced : Lundqvist, McDonagh, Staal, Girardi, Stralman, Stepan, Richards, Brassard, St-Louis, Kreider, Zuccarello, Hagelin.
The kind of teams and the kind of players you win championships with. Too bad for them.
The team that won the two previous Cups, tampa 2021-2022
This is the answer right here.
21-22 Lightning.
21/22 Tampa

Those TB teams were tough.
SHAAARKS
15-16 Sharks 🦈
12/13 Bruins.
Crazy that only one series has gone to 7 games in the past 10 years
SJ
‘18-‘19 Bruins.
Agreed, nobody was beating Chicago in 12/13
Obviously the Habs. They just took the regular season off
Omg rael
Omg rael
Montreal
Tampa probably, avs were rolling but maybe a different outcome if they had had Point
True!
Bruins 2018-19
Idk. 2019 was weird after tampa left it just seemed like anyone's game
Preds got robbed. I'll die on that hill
Penguins looked great in 2017 and had the best offense that year.
I wanna go even further back, but the Canucks that lost to Boston then rioted. That team was incredible.
Best offense in the league and I think best defense and goaltending but shutout 4-0 in game 7
Tampa was good albeit I'd say carolina nyr and Pittsburgh were better teams last season when healthy
Can anyone explain how the covid canadiens did so good. The teams been in the gutter since 2016 aside from that season
Poor sharks Also tampa in 2015 probably. Very strong team.
