New OddsTrader analysis unpacks the data, psychology, and history behind the NHL's most persistent postseason myth.
LAS VEGAS - Californer -- As another NHL season approaches its midpoint, OddsTrader has published a deep-dive analysis exploring the so-called Presidents Trophy curse — the decades-long trend that sees top regular-season teams stumble in the playoffs.
The full feature, available in The Presidents Trophy Curse Explained, breaks down historical data, famous collapses, and why the phenomenon continues to capture hockey fans' imagination.
The piece traces the curse's origins back to the late 1980s, when dominant teams began falling short in the postseason despite racking up record-setting regular-season performances. From the 1996 Red Wings to the 2019 Lightning and the 2023 Bruins, OddsTrader's report shows how pressure, parity, and playoff unpredictability combine to make the Trophy more burden than blessing.

"Every spring, the storyline resets," said Charlie Boudreau, the article's author and a lead analyst at OddsTrader. "Fans start to wonder whether the league's top seed can finally carry its momentum into June — or if history will repeat itself yet again."
The article also highlights the rare exceptions — just eight teams in nearly four decades — that managed to win both the Presidents Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same season, offering clues about what separates those champions from the rest.
