Caught me at the top. We were both stinking drunk. It was 30 years ago. Memory a bit foggy.
Probably the last Cup winner that did it was Los Angeles, when they acquired Mike Richards and Jeff Carter prior to winning their first Cup.Name one that has.
Probably the last Cup winner that did it was Los Angeles, when they acquired Mike Richards and Jeff Carter prior to winning their first Cup.
And the last team to win the Cup after spending big on rentals was Carolina, back in 2006.
It's certainly the exception, rather than the rule.
LA probably is the closest thing to it. You could argue that Carter was the piece that pushed them over the top, and he was a TDL acquisition.Yep, it terms of TDL rentals those two stand.
However, find me one that only recently started a rebuild and then went on to win by finding their one missing piece, let alone at the TDL.
