Teams that have went 16-0 in post season

[frontsfan67]

With London 8-0 already playing against Kitchener who I think most agree London is far stronger than and then potentially playing the gens who they scored 7+ per game against last year. Believe there is a chance they go 16-0

May end up 16-1 or - 16-2 as teams usually drop a game or two but 16-0 is a real possibility

What’s the last team to go 16-0?

According to an Ottawa Sun article from 2019, the only OHL team to have an unbeaten playoffs are the 1987-88 Windsor Compuware Spitfires. They went 12-0, with a bye in the second round.

Yikes. I personally don't see them cakewalking the 3rd and 4th round but it would be a knights team if anybody did pull it off.

Not 16-0 but the London Knights won 17 in a row en route to a Memorial Cup win in 2016

In 2019, the 67’s started the playoffs at 14-0. Let’s ignore the result of games 17 through 20!

Kitchener only got to the third round because of Windsor injuries just the way I see it. Part of the game yes but they don’t win 4 in a row with all the Windsor guys in. Parsons could take a game potentially but I still think the knights this year are incredible.

Could see 12-0 for sure but then they still have to play the finals obviously. They did sweep the gens last year though and most including myself believe the knights are somehow even better this year.

Thanks for this lol. I’m sure this will be a nice jinx thread

But how did Windsor get up 3-0 with all those injuries?

I think how the series played out had as much or more to do with the way the Rangers played the first three games, how their coaching staff made the adjustments they needed to make to counter Windsor’s attack and how the Rangers played after making those adjustments. Windsor’s coaching staff’s inability to then make counter adjustments helped cost them the series.

Sure, injuries played a roll both ways, but if Kitchener “only got to the third round because of Windsor injuries”, then you’d think the series would have been won in 4 or 5 games by the Rangers.

And something I don’t think has been talked about, was the schedule. There were no back to backs. There was an off day after every game. No “three games in four nights”.
Advantage Windsor, who shortened their bench more than the Rangers did.

Including the regular season and Memorial Cup, The Spits won 38 of their last 40 games. Unfortunately, they lost the Mem Cup Final.

Well. Another year without a 16-0 team

16-0 is a pretty steep hill to climb! Certainly possible but very very difficult. They have always maintained in all of professional sport the Stanley Cup is the most difficult championship to win. Guess what it takes 16W to win it all. Hoping the Knights can reel off 4 straight and claim 16-1 which would still be pretty frickin impressive. Oshawa though is no slouch!!

Impressive run but losing that last game hurts in the ole history books. LOL last year’s Knights are a perfect example …..
