It's our game, but where's the cup ? (CanWest News Service)

Stuck in U.S. Habs were last Canadian team to win it in '93


As championship droughts go, it doesn't hold a place in the sports Hall of Shame.

Canada's NHL teams are not the Chicago Cubs.

Still, a part of many Canadian hockey fans considers it an indignity to watch a U.S. city celebrate a Stanley Cup championship year after year, going on 14 years.

Hockey is Canada's game.

Stanley is our Cup - but it hasn't been presented here since the 1993 Canadiens were crowned.

Fans of a certain generation remember a time when winters were spent debating whether it would be Montreal's or Toronto's turn to raise the Cup in triumph. Yes, occasionally, it was loaned to a U.S. franchise, but rarely for more than a year.
