1954: Tony Leswick helped Detroit Red Wings defeat Montreal Canadiens
The Toronto Maple Leafs were the first to win the NHL Stanley Cup Championship 3 times in a row. They did this in 1946-47 (defeating the Montreal Canadiens), in 1947-48 (defeating the Detroit Red Wings, and in 1948-49 (again defeating the Detroit Red Wings). However, the Montreal Canadiens have the mostconsecutive Stanley Cup championships in NHL history with 5.
The Montreal Canadiens won the Stanley Cup five times in a row in the 1960s. Runners up, like the Islanders, have won the Stanley cup four times in a row. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to win more than one in a row because of the salary cap.The Montreal Canadiens won five consecutive Stanley Cups between the 1955-56 and 1959-60 seasons.
There have been quite a few teams to win the Stanley Cup in four games. First I have to mention the best of 7 series (first to win 4) began in 1939. Since then, in order, the teams that have won 4-0 are: 1941 Boston Bruins (vs Detroit) 1943 Detroit Red Wings (vs Boston) 1944 Montreal Canadiens (vs Chicago) 1948 Toronto Maple Leafs (vs Detroit) 1949 Toronto Maple Leafs (vs Detroit) 1952 Detroit Red Wings (vs Montreal) 1960 Montreal Canadiens (vs Toronto) 1968 Montreal Canadiens (vs St Louis) 1969 Montreal Canadiens (vs St Louis) 1970 Boston Bruins (vs St Louis) 1976 Montreal Canadiens (vs Philadelphia) 1977 Montreal Canadiens (vs Boston) 1982 NY Islanders (vs Vancouver) 1983 NY Islanders (vs Edmonton) 1988 Edmonton Oilers (vs Boston) 1992 Pittsburgh Penguins (vs Chicago) 1995 New Jersey Devils (vs Detroit) 1996 Colorado Avalanche (vs Florida) 1997 Detroit Red Wings (vs Philadelphia) 1998 Detroit Red Wings (vs Washington)
