Figures that it would have to be an O6 team. I’d be curious who tops the list if you limit the parameters to the post-expansion era.

Kind of feels like it, but actually looking at their playoffs since their return in 2011, it's only in 2019 (Blues) and 2023 (Golden Knights) that they lost to the eventual Stanley Cup Champ.

In 2018 and 2021 they lost to finalists who did not win the Cup (Golden Knights again and Canadiens, respectively). In 2014 they lost to the Ducks who lost in the Western Conference Final to the Kings who eventually won the cup. So 2/5 playoff appearances they lost to the eventual Stanley Cup winner.

1979-1986 Jets 1.0

84 - Oilers
87 - Oilers
88 - Oilers
90 - Oilers

So six total.
