Has any NHL team been in first place all year and then won the Stanley Cup?
Buffalo could perform this feat this year and so I'm wondering if any other team has already done this.

It has happened a lot, but more recently it hasn't.
I'm not certain, but the 76-77 Montreal Canadians had a record of 60-8-12 I believe, so unless one of those 8 losses came in the first few games, you'd think they did. I'll see if I can find out more..
Tons of teams have done this. I can't even begin to count them all.
The Detroit Redwings of 97-98 season did it
When are the Leafs going to win another Stanley Cup?
