Montreal Canadiennes last title.....last Canadian title. From the end of WWII....1945 until 1993 with that last Canadian/Canadiennes title, out of 48 years, Canadian teams won 34 out of 48 titles. None in the 27 years since.
They HAVE had their chances: Calgary Flames were in the 2004 Finals...lost. Edmonton was in the 2006 Finals....lost. Ottawa was in the 2007 Finals....lost. Vancouver was in the 2011 Finals....lost.

I remember watching teams both Canadian and Northern American teams that were bought out and relocated mainly because of better financial deals particularly:
Minnesota North Stars became the Dallas Stars
Winnipeg Jets became the Arizona Coyotes
Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes
All of the departing cities put up valiant fights to keep their teams, we can understand that. One payback:
Atlanta Thrashers became the Winnipeg Jets..... again.
