from Stephen Whyno of the CP at the Globe and Mail,

A Stanley Cup in Winnipeg, or Edmonton, Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal or Ottawa would be a benchmark for the league, as well. The longest drought before this one was seven years, between the Montreal Maroons’ victory in 1935 and the Maple Leafs’ in 1942.

The next Canadian team to win the 16 playoff games necessary to capture the Cup will make history.

“It would definitely be special to be that Canadian team that can come through and win the Cup,” Spezza said. “Canada deserves a Stanley Cup, so hopefully we can bring it.”
