These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
This is probably a duplicate but in the event of not doing so and simply refreshing discussion, what are some of the best teams you have ever seen that have not won the Cup? I'm a relatively new fan as of 2005 so my list of "I can't believe they did not win" isn't that long. To start with what I have seen
2005-2006 and 2006-2007 Sabres
Holy Moses this team could score at will almost like anything I have ever seen. I'm sorry but the Hurricanes lucked out with the Sabres defense getting hurt. 2005 was their year to win it all because they got past Ottawa. It's just simply amazing how clutch they were at all time and I was completely awestruck by how composed they always were -especially Drury.
2005-2006 and 2006-2007 Senators
Like the Sabres this team was on auto-pilot offensively and like them 2005 was their year to win it all. I'd wager they'd have won it all if Hasek stayed healthy and beaten Buffalo in 2005 but all the same they were incredible. The Ducks beat them fair and square the next season but on paper they just seemed unstoppable. Dat Pizza line tho...
2009-2010 San Jose Sharks
It's not so unbelievable they lost to Chicago but they picked a bad year to be good. An offense with Heatley, Paveslki, Marleau, Thornton a defense with MEV, Boyle and even Rob Blake. And of course Nabokov being his usual ridiculous self all year. If there was any team talented enough to knock off the Hawks in their prime I always thought this one was the best as opposed to that stiff playing Kings team.
There's probably a few I can spit ball but this post is long enough. Your thoughts?
