The 2011-2012 L.A. kings won the cup as an 8th seed. Beating the 1, 2 and 3 seeds in the west. Then the reigning champs, N.J. devils. The kings took a 3 games to none lead in each series, and setting a record with 10 straight road wins.

Answer 2

None. The only 8th place team to ever make it to the finals were the 2005-06 Edmonton Oilers but they lost in 7 games to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Besides that, there have been two other teams who were last place but not in 8th place (this is before there were 8 teams in a conference). The 1948-49 Maple Leafs (22-25-13) were the last 'worst' seed to win the Stanley Cup. The 1937-38 Blackhawks (14-25-9) are the only other 'worst' seed to win the Cup. In fact by there record, they are the worst team to have won the Stanley Cup.
