Wayne Gretzky’s Edmonton Oilers couldn’t do it.
Nor could Nicklas Lidstrom’s Detroit Red Wings.
Even the Pittsburgh Penguins’ dynamic duo of Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr could not pull off the feat.
Indeed, as impressive as the accomplishments of those aforementioned Hall of Famers have been, none were able to pull off what Sidney Crosby and his Penguins have the opportunity to do.
Three-peat.
In fact, you have to go back to the 1980-84 New York Islanders to find the last team to do it. In the end, Al Arbour’s juggernaut won four consecutive Stanley Cups, putting themselves into the NHL history books in the process.
