Crazy that it's been 17 seasons since the lockout year but a lot has changed in the NHL since. Here are the teams who have won the most playoff series from the 2005/2006 season onward.

So Calgary wins the cup in 89, and I dont think they won a series afterwards until their run to the finals in 2004 (including some pretty talented rosters in the early to mid 90s). Since then, they have two series wins.

Talk about feast or famine.
 
So
St. Louis is the most opportunistic team
San Jose the least

I mean, no cup sucks, but at least Sharks fans got to see some good runs over the years, and good hockey too.
 
Funny how different it looks if you just put playoff record in and rank them by playoff game wins.

Pens
Bruins
Bolts
Hawks
Sharks
Ducks
Caps
Wings
Rangers
Habs
