TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Scotty Bowman knows a thing or two about winning consecutive Stanley Cups championships. The last team to claim at least three straight Stanley Cup crowns was the New York Islanders, who won four in a row under Al Arbor in the early 1980s. “It’s easy to say: ‘Yeah, we’d like to win three in a row.’ There’s no question about that,” Bowman said. “I think the biggest danger would be to lose your focus during the regular season.”Bowman won four straight Stanley Cup championships with Montreal from 1975-76 through 1978-79. “We don’t want to see anybody else raising that Cup, that’s for sure.”___AP freelancer Mark Didtler contributed to this report.
