Only eight teams in NHL history have won the Stanley Cup after winning the President’s trophy which means that the Rangers only have a 13% chance of winning this year.
Also, only eight teams in history that have won the President’s Trophy have lost in the first round of the playoffs.
The President’s Trophy is given to the team with the best regular season record.
The Rangers are the first team to make it to the second round after beating the Capitals 4-2 last week to complete the sweep in the series.
The Rangers are now one step closer to winning the Stanley Cup, facing the Carolina Hurricanes winning last night 4-3.
If the Rangers win the Stanley Cup, it would be the first time in 30 years as the last time they did was in 1994.
The last time a team won the President Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same season was 11 years ago in 2013 when the Chicago Blackhawks defeated the Boston Bruins in game six of the finals.
Some fans from Hudson High think that the Bruins will end up beating the Rangers in the Eastern Conference Finals, but I see it differently.
My prediction is that the Rangers will make it to the conference final and get knocked out by the Florida Panthers and they will be the champions of the Eastern Conference.
