Every year, the Presidents' Trophy is awarded to the team that accumulates the most points during the regular season. This season, the New York Rangers had the honor of winning this trophy.
However, for several years now, the teams that win the Presidents' Trophy have failed to win the Stanley Cup.
Since the Blackhawks achieved this feat in 2013, no other team has managed to repeat it.
It's been quite a while now, and this coincides with the change in playoff format ten years ago. The Rangers have been "close" twice.
They reached the conference finals in 2015, and they just lost in the conference finals against the Florida Panthers, who are making their second consecutive appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals.
