The Last time A Canadian Team won the cup.

[ole ole]

Here are the notable events I can think of off the top of my head the last time a Canadian team won the cup.

- The Raptors didn't even exist
- Michael Jordan was still in his prime
- Space Jam 1 wasn't even out
- Jagr was still extremely young in the league
- Shaq finished his rookie year
- Blue Jays won the World Series b2b

It was 26 yrs after the Leafs last cup win and we had color TV.

Things change a lot in 28 years? Wow, you don't say.

You probably live to see 50, you'll understand. Or you are cool as a cucumber.

So the lack of salary cap pre-Cap and the salary cap both have kept the Canadien teams down?

Bad management/ownership kill the teams chances IMO.

Yes and no.

Both were global phenoms. Not sure which one was more widely known but Rumble in the Jungle was watched by an estimated 1 billion people worldwide.

Im a huge boxing fan, but Ali wasn't more popular than MJ in 1993. Hell, he probably wasnt the most popular boxer in the world at that time

Space Jam is a notable event?

Just to put this into perspective, Conan O'Brien didn't start as a late night host until September 1993.

He retired from that gig a little more than a month ago.

But globally Tyson might have been the most recognized person on earth.

But globally Tyson might have been the most recognized person on earth.

Just for the reason he was a boxer I'd say no.

I was still a virgin

It’s good some things haven’t changed since 1993.

Things that have:
Death rates for prostate and lung cancer both dropped over 50% since 1993.

The human genome project had started 3 years prior, but wouldn’t be completed for another decade.

The average HIV patients life expectancy after diagnosis went from 3-5 years in the 1993 to no longer being a death sentence.

Yup - I was driving my first car then, a 5-speed Honda Civic. It was about 15 years until I drove stick shift again – you never forget how – but good luck finding manual transmission today.

I had a Honda Civic Si 5 speed myself back then loved that car. Still have a Boxster S 6 speed but it's garaged for years now. It will come back out one day.

"It's only a matter of when".

Technically they could win in 2029 and the Hockey News says "See I told yah so!!".

Other than Jagr, who was the last player in the league that was around for the 92-93 season?
