Chicago won 3/6 between 2010 and 2015, were they a dynasty?
LA won 2/3 between 2012 and 2014, were they a dynasty?
Pittsburgh won 2/2 in 2016 and 2017 and are considered a perennial contender, are they a dynasty?
It's really hard to consider the 1997-2002 Wings a dynasty when other teams have matched their achievements more recently and aren't labeled as such.
That's my whole point, those are closer to dynasties than 4 in 25, and likewise why I said 'you could maybe argue' for the 97-02 Wings, and you'll never know how much it pains me to say that as an Avs fan! I did point out that the Oilers 5 in 7 and Red Wings 4 in 6 are dynasty teams. If you want the full list of those that are officially recognised as dynasties by the NHL and hockey hall of fame:
Ottawa Senators of 1919–27 (4 Stanley Cup championships in 8 years) 1920, 1921, 1923, 1927
Toronto Maple Leafs of 1946–51 (4 Stanley Cups in 5 years) 1947–1949, 1951
Detroit Red Wings of 1949–55 (4 Stanley Cups in 6 years) 1950, 1952, 1954–1955
Montreal Canadiens of 1955–60 (5 consecutive Stanley Cups) 1956–1960
Toronto Maple Leafs of 1962–67 (4 Stanley Cups in 6 years) 1962–1964, 1967
Montreal Canadiens of 1964–69 (4 Stanley Cups in 5 years) 1965–1966, 1968–1969
Montreal Canadiens of 1975–79 (4 consecutive Stanley Cups) 1976–1979
New York Islanders of 1980–84 (4 consecutive Stanley Cups and 19 consecutive playoff series wins) 1980–1984
Edmonton Oilers of 1983–90 (5 Stanley Cups in 7 years) 1984–1985, 1987–1988, 1990
Which is why I said maybe at 3 in 6 the Wings were close. Certainly versus the Senators at 4 in 8. You really only reinforced my point!
