please check the nhl book of records before saying that, is it a humour page in here?
25 cups since the nhl exist, is enough to consider the montreal canadian as the greatest team in the history of hockey, sure other club had great clubs, but none like them!
Record wise the best NHL team ever is the 1995-1996 Detroit Red Wings. They posted a 62-17-7 record, they have the most ever wins by a team. However the Boston Bruins hold the all-time NHL standard, their 38-5-1 record in a 44-game season giving them a .875 winning percentage, while the 1995 Red wings only had a .799 winning percentage.
The Best NHL Teams In History -- Many hockey fans say the Montreal Canadiens was the best hockey team ever put together, and during the 1976-77 season, the team won the Stanley Cup, Wales Conference and the Norris Division. The record for the team was 60-8-12. To date, the team won a total of 24 Stanley Cups
As of today, Jan. 20, 2009, three teams, Boston, Detroit, and San Jose are so close in terms of statisics, points,and personnel, that all three can be called "the best team".
