DownUndaCanuck Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I just heard on TSN that only 4 teams have won back-to-back consecutive Presidents Trophies in the NHL, and of those 4, three have gone on to win the Stanley Cup in their 2nd season. The 1986 Oilers won the Presidents Trophy and lost in the Division Finals, then finished 1st overall the following season and won the Cup. The 1988 Flames won the Presidents Trophy and lost in the Division Finals, then the next season won the Presidents Trophy and Cup. The 1998 Stars won the Presidents Trophy but lost in the Conference Finals, then the following season won both the Presidents Trophy and Stanley Cup. Only the 1995 Red Wings won the Presidents Trophy (lost in the SCF that season) failed to win the Cup after winning the Presidents Trophy again the following year, but the Red Wings have won 6 Presidents Trophies and of those seasons, have claimed 2 Cups. Usually there is something like a 1/4 chance of winning the Cup after capturing the Presidents Trophy, but the chances are much higher after winning the Presidents Trophy in consecutive seasons. This puts the Vancouver Canucks in amazing company considering some of the dynasty teams that have had this success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinogator Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 as long as we don't follow detroit's footstep in this one we'r good. also, as long as we can break the "goalie wearing #1 hasn't won cup since 1976" curse. (I'm a huge luongo lover don't get me wrong). As fans, we should just enjoy the ride and cheer the nux on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyville88 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 The Prezzy's gotta count for something. It's not easy to be the #1 team in the league. It has to amount to something in the post season. Hopefully the Canucks can live up to the title and get er done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSVII Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 after last year, i've put little weight on these 'destiny' stats. but hopefully we can make it back to the dance this year. LA is scary but we can get past em! Go nucks go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edler's Mind Tricks Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Did you hear that every team that hosted the Olympics the year before will win the cup!!! We will win for sure!!! Oh. What's that?... Oh...... I think we have as good a shot as last year but not because of some sorta lucky statistic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWhom Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Talked about at length on other posts.....but well worth it's own thread this stat. Ta I think (hope) it shows that winning the PT is an indication of a very good team, that sometimes needs hardening and experience to win the SC, and by winning a second PT they show that they are indeed very good and are ready to take the next step to the SC.

mgorospe Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 That olympic host city / stanley cup winner stat would've been so accurate if we had won though.......... Hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briguychau Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 If you notice the previous teams that won consecutive Presidents' trophies, you will notice that the three teams that won the Cup in the 2nd year didn't make it to the finals in the 1st year. And, Detroit, who lost in the SCF in the 1st year, didn't make it to the SCF in the 2nd. *knock on wood* (Sorry, first post here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossram Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Stats are just numbers on paper. The Canucks need to let their play on the ice do the talking. Anything can happen in the playoffs. We have all seen it. Numbers are irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nux-luvr Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I suggest that statistically this PT stat is more significant since there is an n of 4. I don't remember what the Olympic stat was based on but I think it was an n of 1. It was only Calgary wasn't it? So an n of 1 is never statistically significant.

Bure1994Mclean Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 That stat really puts our accomplishment in perspective. But after last year's "hosting the Winter Olympics" stat, I'm not buying into anymore of these stats, I just want to see them get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
