The Montreal Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cups.
The Winnipeg Jets have won none – despite being part of two different NHL franchises, despite three WHA Avco Cups in the 1970s, and despite representing a city that did win the Cup in its amateur era, most recently in 1902.
But what those teams have in common is what every team has: That one, special team and season that fans still recall as the best of them all.
