    Ok let me get the NHL ones before Dutch grabs them all up.  Six wins:

    Montreal Canadians used to be hockey royalty, Boston Bruins, Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins might have 6 by now maybe the Toronto Maple Leaves and maybe the St Louis Blues.

    Surprisingly the old Canadian teams have given way to the more successful American hockey clubs despite hockey being the national game of Canada.

    Highlighted ones,  Check.    Penguins have just 5, not 6.   St. Louis Blues won their first and only title just last year.

  • MLB let's see, the New York Yankee$ the best team that money could buy for decades they grabbed a bunch of trophies.  The rest with 6 champinships STL, LA/BRK, SF/NY and maybe CIN?, DET? PHI?   It's just hard to think of real dynasties in MLB other than the Yank$ they won the AL every year from 1946-1964 except 3 48, 54 CLE and 59 WSX.
