Canada is on the verge of another year of the National Hockey League Stanley Cup residing south of the border. The Montreal Canadiens were the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup, in 1993.
Only two Canadian teams qualified for this years playoffs. With the first round of the playoffs coming to an end, only one team remains, and barely.
The Vancouver Canucks, who lost last year's finals, and was the number one seed from the Western Conference, were eliminated Monday night by the Los Angeles Kings, four games to one.
The Ottawa Senators blew a chance Tuesday night in front of their home fans to eliminate the New York Rangers, who are the top-seeded team in the Eastern Conference. After the Senators took a 1-0 lead after the first period, the Rangers rallied to win in Ottawa 3-2 to force a seventh and final game in New York Thursday night.
Since 1993, Canadian teams have been to the finals five times. Vancouver lost twice, Ottawa, the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames have lost one time each.
