I'm not a big hockey guy, but I do know that the Montreal Canadians have 23 Stanley Cups,
Do you think the Canadians could get to 27, if the yankees (who have 26), don't win one in the next 10-15 years?

To last 2 people above me are dumb. They can't comprehend what they are reading. He is saying that they Yankees have won 26 World Series championships which is the most championships out of all professional sports. He asked can the Canadians win at least 4 more before the Yankess win another one and take the lead for most championships by a professional team in all sports.
With salary cap, free agency, etc. it's hard to keep players in the same place for enough years to build a dynasty but hey anything is possible.

It's a lot harder to win a Stanley Cup now than it used to be. Soon there will likely be 32 teams. A good chunk of those 23 cups were back in the orginal 6 days and before the draft. Back in the day the Habs were entitled to any hockey player from Quebec they wanted. I hope they can do it, but being better than 32 other teams on a regular basis in a system with a draft is a tall order.

Anything is possible. However, that being said, a Canadian team has not won the Cup for 15 years now. Kind of sad. Maybe if Scotty Bowman comes back to coach Montreal they can win another 4 or 5.

Not likely given the mitigating factors. Montreal has won 2 cups since 1979 and have no trophies to show for the last 14 years. The current salary cap, free agency and number of teams in the NHL will make it even tougher for them to win in this age of parity.
Most recently, Detroit won 3 cups in 6 years (97-02) and New Jersey did the same in a 9 year span (95-03), but neither of these franchises were tethered by financial parameters.

If the Yankees win the Stanley Cup, then Bettman has messed things up worse than we all thought, lol. I will play an entire hockey season dressed as a girl if that happens.
Please tell me you are joking. You're talking about two different sports there bud

The Yankees will never, ever win the Stanley Cup.
Edit: Obviously I misunderstood the question but I don't think it was necessary to call folks dumb over it.

Possible, yet unlikely.
I hope you don't think the Yankees and the Canadiens play in the same sport.

Althought that would be fantastic, it is highly unlikely. Hard to build teams like they use to with the salary cap and free agency that is in place now.
