2388...Something Has To Give

Peter's Putterings in

The Renfrew Mercury

have this piece:

Stanley Cup combatants Chicago and Philadelphia have something in common. Both have dropped their last five appearances in the final since last winning the Cup.

Since 1961, the Blackhawks were clipped by Toronto in 1962, Montreal in '65, '71 and '73 and Pittsburg in 1992.

After their 1975 Cup triumph, the Flyers lost to Montreal in 1976, NY Islanders in '80, Edmonton in '85 and '87 and Detroit in 1997.

As Artie Johnson would say: "Interesting. Verrrrrry interesting."
