Canada's Stanley Cup drought has been a long and painful one for hockey fans north of the border. The country that has produced some of the greatest players in NHL history has not won the championship since 1993, when the Montreal Canadiens took home the coveted trophy. This 29-year drought is the longest in Canadian history, surpassing the previous record held by the Toronto Maple Leafs, who last won the Cup in 1967. As the NHL playoffs heat up, Canadians are left wondering when their beloved teams will bring home the Stanley Cup and end this prolonged championship drought.
