— Until 1967, the NHL was a six-team league, then for the 1967-68 season, the league doubled to 12 teams, with the six expansion teams making up the West Division, the Original Six teams were the East Division.
That first year, none of the expansion teams were over .500; Philadelphia Flyers beat out the LA Kings by a point in the regular season, but the 3rd-place St Louis Blues advanced through to the NHL Finals, where they got swept four straight by Montreal.
In fact, St Louis made it to the NHL Finals the first three years they existed, but went 0-12 in those three Finals series, losing to Montreal twice and Boston Bruins in 1970.
— The season before, the last time the NHL was a six-team league, Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup. They haven’t won it since.
