Winnipeg Jets are tied for the 11th longest winning streak (reg season) of all time

[AtlantaWhaler]

They have won their last 8 last year and first 5 this year.

Sandwiched by a pretty crappy playoff but impressive none the less.

We're cup favourites this year truthfully speaking...

I'm not sure which "stat" is more amazing. Both are definitely thread-worthy.

 

[Breakers]

can't stand linking seasons together, makes zero sense

Had a montreal fan say Caufield is essentially a 40 goal scorer over the past 2 seasons.

I just dont get it.
seen people link seasons together with "Pace" calculations and everything.

Just ignore the 5 months rest in between

Before 2006, the majority of games that went in OT ended up in ties, with no winners.

So dumb that people claim another 5 minutes of likely scoreless hockey ending in a tie is superior in any way to 3v3 and a shootout

 

[PocketNines]

I hope whatever streak it is, it ends tonight. But they have been damn good to start the year and the streak will probably continue. Playing like they will start the playoffs at home for Game 1.

Same reason I put very little value in the covid bubble playoffs. Was basically a new season at that point, all momentum gone, players rusty and been apart so lost camaraderie.

Tampa are lucky they won that other cup and had that deep run or I think their guys would be looked at a lot differently

 

[cneely]

Lots of salt in here.

I'm simply presenting a fact.

What I find impressive is that there are 20-25 posters in this thread, and none of them seem to be having the same conversation as any other poster who's contributed.

(And I'm adding to the phenomenon with this post, I guess.)

 

[Bounces R Way]

Well how bout that
Been a solid team for a long time, but lacking that last bit of juice to get to the finals. They always seem to go for these rental middle 6 forwards at the deadline but I think more drastic action like shelling out for a top pairing dman would be the better approach.

 

[MVP Zacha]

How so?


None of the stated was opinion at all. The school system clearly failed you.

That right there is your opinion, not a fact. I linked the FanDuel odds and no, the Maple Leafs are not Cup favorites.
I did enjoy your personal attack though.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I don't respect streaks that cover 2 different seasons.

And it's not tied for 8th according to your link, it's tied for 11th.

 

[Bender Duster]

Doesn't matter, Hellybuck will just choke in the playoffs like he normally does.

Just like your ability to spell his name.

And now we have a new best stat!

 

[Jetcetera]

I'm a Jets fan, this split season record is dumb. Starting the season 5-0 is a nice start and a good achievement but it's not thread worthy. If they start the season 10-0 make a thread

Mixing the legendary streaks of the '93 Penguins and the '82 Islanders with weak-sauce streaks from the "no-ties" era of today is a bit disingenuous. Before 2006, the majority of games that went in OT ended up in ties, with no winners. That significantly affects the odds of going on a long streak.

For instance, the Oilers have the second biggest winning streak with 16 wins but in reality, it's a 3-game winning streak. The 4th game would have been a tie under the old rules and was won in a shootout.

That 17 streak by the Penguins in 93 is insane. It just highlights how much that team was stacked. It looks like someone's messing around on the playstation. AND it was coached by the best of all times as well, Scotty Bowman.

Yea was probably the best penguins team ever. Was also the biggest choke ever in the playoffs. Should have absolutely been their third straight cup. That era Pens have the record for longest regular season winning streak and longest playoff winning streak.

That said today's era has its own challenges. Teams are much closer together now than they were then. There are no teams that are freebies like Tampa, San Jose, or Ottawa were back in the early 90s. And with the cap it's much harder to put together super teams.

One of the streaks of all time.

Gratzky.

 

[BlueAzN]

Just like your ability to spell his name.

Not my fault his last name is misspelled

 

[SEALBound]

1. Top of the division with a game in hand
2. Made the playoffs every year since 2017
3. Best goal scorer in the league, if not the best player outright
4. Physical defensive team
5. Historic franchise with a history of winning

Like, we all saw this, right?

Should someone tell him?

You guys are allowed to not value it but the Winnipeg Jets have a 13 game winning streak in the regular season and that is indeed a fact, not something you can disagree with.

We can still disagree with the context and with it being on equal footing with a winning streak in a single season.
