The Toronto Maple Leafs won three straight Stanley Cups between 1962 and '64, and the '63 team was their best. That team finished in first place in the regular season, and neither of the other teams did.

The 1991 and '92 Pittsburgh Penguins were an offensive juggernaut of a team that got hot at the right time and ran roughshod in the playoffs. They were led by Mario Lemieux, who rivaled Wayne Gretzky as perhaps the most talented offensive player in the game's history. While Gretzky was healthy throughout his career and would run away with the league's all-time scoring records, Lemieux was not. A healthy Lemieux might have given him a run for his money. When Lemieux was healthy, as he was in those two championship seasons, he was a sight to behold. In 1991, the Penguins defeated the New Jersey Devils, Washington Capitals, Boston Bruins and Minnesota North Stars to win their first Stanley Cup. It took the Pens seven games to shake the pesky Devils in the first round, and they trailed the Bruins 2-0 after the first two games of the Eastern Conference Final. However, the series turned around in Pittsburgh, and the Pens won the next four games. The Pens handled the North Stars in six games, with the final game of the series resulting in an 8-0 runaway at Minnesota that saw Lemieux score a goal and three assists. Throughout that playoff run, Lemieux was unstoppable, scoring 16 goals and 44 points in 24 games. The following year saw another offensive explosion by the Penguins. They defeated the Capitals, New York Rangers, Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks to win the title. It took Pittsburgh seven games to get through the opening round, and they were trailing the Rangers 2-1 after three games. They did not lose again in the rest of the playoffs, as they took the last three games from the Rangers and swept Boston and Chicago. Lemieux led the way with 16 goals and 34 points, while teammate Kevin Stevens had 13 goals and 28 points. Bob Johnson coached the 1991 team to the title, but he was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm in the offseason, so Scotty Bowman took over as head coach for the 1991-92 team. Johnson died of brain cancer in November, 1991.

Does a player have to ask for 10 yards?

The team taking the kick DOES NOT have to ask the opponents to retreat 10 yards on a restart, the opponent is required by the laws of the game to retreat automatically.

Enforcement of 10 Yards for Free Kick

The Laws of the Game (FIFA, USSF, and FXA) require that after a foul is committed, the team committing the foul MUST immediately retreat 10 yards and not attempt to prevent or delay the team that was fouled from restarting play. The team taking the kick DOES NOT have to ask the opponents to retreat 10 yards on a restart, the opponent is required by the laws of the game to retreat automatically. If the opponent(s) who committed a foul fail to retreat the 10 yards automatically, and thus delay or prevent the restart of the play, the Laws of the Game REQUIRE the referee to caution the player(s) delaying the restart. Further Clarification of the 10 Yard Issue: Referees recognize that an opponent, after committing a foul, will seek to regain a tactical advantage by preventing the team that was fouled from restarting play. Referees are taught NOT to interfere with the retaking of a kick by enforcing the 10 yard law if such an action could rob a team of a quick restart. Some teams like to restart very quickly to catch the defense off guard. A referee who interrupts their restart to enforce the 10 yards would thus penalize the team taking the kick.
