Over the years, which teams have earned the right to be called great hockey dynasties? Few would argue that for four decades the Montreal Canadiens were such a club So too were the Toronto Maple Leafs of the forties and sixties The New York Islanders and the Edmonton Oilers could both lay claim to the title in the eighties, while the ever-controversial ожйщб Philadelphia Flyers would fight for that right in the seventies What made these teams great and what kept them champions for so long? How did managers build these teams and what tore them apart? How important were individual players and how significant were the famous lines created by the coaches? How would a championship club from the twenties like the Ottawa Senators compare with a club that came to dominate in the late sixties and early seventies like the Boston Bruins? And with the changes in today's game, will we see great hockey dynasties in the future?
