1969 Stanley Cup Finals preview
Anaheim Ducks (82-80) vs. New York Rangers (100-63)
The New York Rangers are 4-time Stanley Cup Winners (1910, 1948, 1949, 1968). They are trying to repeat as champions for the first time since the '52-'53 Sabres. The Rangers got here by beating the Devils in six, Bruins in seven, and Panthers in seven.
The Anaheim Ducks, barely above .500, are a huge surprise. They are 3-time Stanley Cup Winners (1911, 1913, 1914). As you can see, they have not won in 55 years. Their last trip to the finals was 16 years ago in 1953, when they lost to Buffalo. The Ducks got here by beating the Jets in seven, Coyotes in five, and Sharks in seven.
