Don't let this confuse anybody. The Winnipeg Jets have never won the
Stanley Cup (or even come that close). These Stanley Cup championships
go back a LONG way to about the turn of the century. The Winnipeg
Victorias won one or more of these Cups- the Jets didn't win any of
them.
Can you think of anything more irrelevant to argue about a playoff
series going on today than who won more Stanley Cups around the turn
of the century??
Lets face facts. The Canucks are leading the series 3-1. The Canucks
dominated the Jets in their season series. The Canucks did better in
the regular season than Winnipeg. Who is the better team? I think
that the facts show that Vancouver is better than Winnipeg.
