2. After World War II, for the rest of the 1940s, and throughout all the 1950s and 1960s, three teams took turns winning the Stanley Cup with ONE exception. Which "have not" team celebrated one lone Cup victory during this twenty eight year period?

Answer:
Chicago Blackhawks
The post war era saw Toronto and Montreal dominate the late 1940s, Detroit and Montreal dominate the 1950s, and, (big surprise), Montreal dominate the 1960s. The fabled Canadiens garnered twelve Cups, Toronto won ten, and the Red Wings nabbed six during this golden era of the original six teams. The Blackhawks, coached by the long forgotten Rudy Pilous, made their breakthrough in 1961, beating Detroit four games to two. After that, they would suffer a forty nine year drought before finally winning another Cup in 2010. Alas, of the other two teams in the league at the time, Boston could only lose five times in the finals, and New York barely even sniffed the Cup during this time, making the finals only once and losing to Detroit in 1950.
