The Stanley
As a loyal Oilers fan, I've been cheering against the Canucks since Round 1. Beyond that, the Bruins are a really easy team to cheer for, so I'm pretty happy tonight. The Bruins just ended a 39 year Cup Drought, and moved past my Oilers to be alone in 4th place for Most Cups Won. A more relevant count, I think, is the number of pennants (Conference Championships) won since expansion took place in 1967. In that number, Boston sits tied with Philadelphia for second place, while my Oilers are in fourth.
Montreal (11): '68, '69, '71, '73, '76-'79, '86, '89, '93
Boston (8): '70, '72, '74, '77, '78, '88, '90, '11
