Also interesting: the three times it has occurred have all been exactly 50 years apart:

2018 Vegas Golden Knights
1968 St. Louis Blues
1918 Toronto Hockey Club (you could certainly argue that this one shouldn't count, but technically...)
There were a few years in the late 60s when it was the original six vs the expansion six in the Finals, so an expansion team was guaranteed a spot in the Finals (I think) three years in a row.
