trivia answer...

the 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning had to be the misfortune to be Stanley Cup champions,when the NHL went on strike,and lost a season to that BS... note:there was no Stanley Cup given out,in 1919,because of a death of a player(Joe Hall),and the worldwide flu epidemic,but it was pre-NHL days.... Seattle Metropolitans and Montreal Canadiens did play five games(2-2-1),but the final game was not played,because of many players,and a manager being sick... Joe Hall died four days after the canceled game,and the series was abandoned...
