Funny story I have. Much of my family lives in Florida, and one of my cousins used to travel to DC, where I live, annually on business. We would always meet for dinner. So in the spring of 2019, we’re at dinner, and she’s talking about how well the Lightning is doing. And I say, « Oh, y’all can *have* the President’s Trophy. It’s never done the Caps a bit of good. » Sure enough, the Bolts made history by giving the Columbus Blue Jackets its only playoff series win ever.

Avs let Florida win it at the end of the season in ‘22 on purpose.

Makes you wonder which trophy should be given more weight,
the regular season the refs actually do their jobs, you play every team and success isn’t determined by your goalie suddenly getting on a hot streak for about 10 games or so
Playoffs, beat 4 teams in a best of 7 series, basically just be hot at the right time and hope the refs have a vested interest in you winning
Frankly I think the leafs have a better shot of winning the Stanley cup than they do the presidents trophy

I’ll pass on this trophy every time if it means I get out of the first round.

At this point I’ll take any trophy.
