Players who won a cup on a team they're not known for

[Dissonance Jr]

I don't think he played any playoff games, but Barry Pederson technically won a Stanley Cup in 1991 with Pittsburgh, which just feels extremely random.

 

[HisIceness]

He played 336 games in Carolina but Aaron Ward is probably best known as a Red Wing.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Brad Richards with CHI.

He previously won a Stanley Cup in 2004 with Tampa, along with the Conn Smythe Trophy.

 

[buffalowing88]

Mark Napier -- Edmonton 1985

Kent Nilsson -- Edmonton 1987

Gary Leeman -- Montreal 1993

Miroslav Satan -- Pittsburgh 2009

Just had a sad face emoji reaction to Nilsson and Satan. Nilsson was a Flame and always should be considered one. Satan ended on bad terms with the Sabres, but boy were there moments on multiple deep playoff runs where I saw him passing the cup to Hasek. 97, 98, and even 01. Thought it was gonna happen.

 

[NYR94]

Emery with the 2013 Blackhawks (didn't play in playoffs though)
Drake with the 2008 Red Wings
Malakhov with the 2000 Devils
Knuble, Macoun and Mironov with the 98 Red Wings
Broten with the 95 Devils
Hill with the 93 Habs

 

[Voight]

Off the top of my head;

Chris Chelios: He's a Blackhawk to me, but won Cups in Montreal and Detroit. Didn't win one in Chicago.

Ray Bourque: A Bruin, but won a Cup with Colorado. Zero Cups in Boston.

Brett Hull: I think everyone sees him as a Blue, but won Cups in Dallas and Detroit. Never won in St. Louis.

Steve Larmer: A Blackhawk to me, but won the Cup in New York. Never won one in Chicago.

Who else?

Hull in Dallas gets remembered a lot due to the winning goal.

With Bouwmeester its interesting. He actually played about 20 more games with STL vs FLA, but 2 seasons more. (missed half of the 2018 season so his GP is low for an 8 season guy). His career took off in a way, sure he made the 2004 WCH as a Panther but he made the 2014 Olympic team as a Blue and entered the Triple Gold Club as one. But I tend to remember him as a Panther for some reason.

John LeClair with Montreal in 1993, much more remembered as a Flyer

Care to explain Bouwmeester?

He played more seasons with St. Louis than either Calgary or Florida.

 

[BOS358]

tyler seguin in boston

Some of us remember him all too well in Boston...

 

[spiny norman]

Tony Esposito, Montreal 1968-69.

He dressed for the final series against St. Louis but didn't see any action.

 

[scott clam]

Neal Broten with the NJD.
Joe Kocur on the NYR.
Tyler Bozak with the Blues.
And to a lesser extent, Phil Kessel on the Penguins.

 

[Sanf]

Mark Napier -- Edmonton 1985

Kent Nilsson -- Edmonton 1987

Gary Leeman -- Montreal 1993

Miroslav Satan -- Pittsburgh 2009

Geoff Courtnall is another brief Oiler who won Cup with them in 1988.

I don´t know if Dave Hannan is remembered from any team specially or at all, but he played 841 games in NHL from which 752 with Maple Leafs, Sabres and Penguins. But he did win Stanley Cups with Oilers and Avalanche.

 

[Moose Head]

Tony Esposito, Montreal 1968-69.

He dressed for the final series against St. Louis but didn't see any action.

Where for some reason he wore Leatherface’s mask.

 

[scott clam]

Frank Mahovolich's cup with Montreal deserves a mention.

 

[CharlestownChiefsESC]

John Madden he won 2 in Jersey, but what people quickly forget is he won a third in Chicago in 2010

 

[Crosstraffic]

John LeClair with Montreal in 1993, much more remembered as a Flyer

I clearly remember those OT goals in Games 3 and 4 that put the dagger into the Kings...

 

[The Panther]

Geoff Courtnall is another brief Oiler who won Cup with them in 1988.

I don´t know if Dave Hannan is remembered from any team specially or at all, but he played 841 games in NHL from which 752 with Maple Leafs, Sabres and Penguins. But he did win Stanley Cups with Oilers and Avalanche.

Hannan actually scored the game-winning goal in the third period of Edmonton's win in game one of the 1988 Finals over Boston. But, like Courtnall, he didn't see a lot of ice-time. (In fact, I think he was a healthy scratch in some games.)

 

[Brodeur]

Nieuwendyk had 9 seasons (577 games) and a Cup in Calgary, 7 seasons (442 games) and a Cup/Conn Smythe in Dallas, but only a brief season+ (94 games) stint with New Jersey. Nieuwendyk got hurt in the ECF and didn't play in the 2003 SCF.

 

[DeysArena]

Andy Bathgate won his only cup with the Leafs.

 

[Staniowski]

I thought of Dave Lumley and the Canadiens, but I guess he didn't. He only played 3 regular season games for Montreal in '79.

But certainly not many people think of Lumley as a Hab.

 

[Mandar]

Another player from the 94 Rangers....Glenn Anderson. Certainly viewed as an Oiler....he got in 12 regular season games, then played all the games in the playoffs.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I always thought it's somewhat odd Mike Vernon won a Cup in Detroit. Definitely a Flame in my mind.

 

[Professor What]

A big chunk of the 1994 Rangers are more closely associated with the Oilers.

 

[alko]

Bryan Trottier - Penguins

 

[MuzikMachine]

What's the criteria of the thread - not spending a lot of time on the cup winning team or a more forgotten member of the team? For example, Pronger & Niedermeyer didn't spend a long time with the Ducks, but were key in them winning. Iconic memories like Hull's "no goal" or "Win one for Ray" are tied to that particular championship, same with team captains.

I like some lesser known stops, like Weight, Emery, etc.
