Pop culture the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup - ESPN
Hockey might be Canada's most popular sport, but the country hasn't had much luck lately when it comes to hoisting the Stanley Cup.
It has been over 30 years since the last time a team from north of the border managed to win an NHL title. In the 1992-93 season, the Montreal Canadiens, led by Brian Bellows, Patrick Roy and Guy Carbonneau, lost only four playoff games en route to their record-setting 24th Stanley Cup title.
Only seven Canadian teams have made the finals since then, and though several have come achingly close, none has been able to bring Lord Stanley's Cup home. Five teams — the Canadiens, Ottawa Senators, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets and Toronto Maple Leafs — are hoping to end that drought in 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Velociraptors and a T-Rex were the real stars, however, with a perfect blend of practical effects and CGI creating some of the most convincing movie monsters that audiences had ever seen. The film grossed nearly a billion dollars on release and won best sound editing, best sound mixing and best visual effects at the Academy Awards.
