Globe and Mail: A nation’s eyes turn to quartet of Canadian teams to fill 20-year Stanley Cup void. Seems unreal that it has been that long since a Canadian team has raised a Stanley Cup but you have to go back to the 1993 playoff series when the Habs beat Gretzky and his L.A. Kings. There have been five Canadian teams in the Finals during this drought but none were able to achieve the ultimate goal.
