How many were they expected to win? In the 11 original six years Hull played, the Black Hawks came in first in the regular season just once. They even came in 3rd the year they won the Cup.
I went off the top of my head. I was under the impression that they had 3-4 regular season titles. If that's not the case, then... well, how embarrassing.
But even if a team is 2nd for half a dozen years, one or two of those times you should come out with a cup.
