The Stanley Cup Finals is played by the winner of the Eastern Conference and the winner of the Western Conference. The winner of the seven game series wins the Stanley Cup, the most coveted trophy in hockey.
Marian Hossa (now of the Chicago Blackhawks), played in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals for Pittsburgh (and lost), played in the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals for Detroit (and lost), and played in the 2010 Stanley Cup Finals for Chicago (and won).
this used to be possible, but now the Stanley Cup Finals are between an eastern conference team and a western conference team
The 1994 Stanly Cup Finals featured the Vancouver Canucks vs. the New York Rangers. The Stanley Cup was eventually won by the Rangers.
Anyone on the winning team that has played one game in the Stanley Cup Finals series. So if someone gets injured in the Western Conference finals and doesn't play in the Stanley Cup final, he wlll not get his name on it. Also, the head coach gets his name on it.
