Here for the hot takes
To be fair to the Jets after an absolute stinker of a series, they won the first game before getting railroaded.It doesn't really count of you get swept in the playoffs in between the wins.

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
Shootouts are an imperfect resolution to a game, but a legitimate one, and are recognized as such internationally and across multiple sports.Why not add a lottery after the shoot-out? 3 shootere each, if still tied, draw straws!
And let's not forget this jaw dropper!and has given us jaw dropping highlights by the likes of Kane, Datsuk, Kucherov, Kuznetsov, Oshie… and Marek Malik.

Even an average shootout is a source of excitement that draws in the novice fan. At its best it’s a showcase for some of the elite talents in the league, and has given us jaw dropping highlights by the likes of Kane, Datsuk, Kucherov, Kuznetsov, Oshie… and Marek Malik.
The real issue for the NHL is the fact that an SO win is considered the equivalent of a RW in the standings (except when used as a playoff tiebreaker). So yeah I think there’s a legitimate gripe to be had about the point allocation system.
Since they didn't get swept, you're saying it counts?It doesn't really count of you get swept in the playoffs in between the wins.
The Jets got destroyed by the AVs in the POs that were then destroyed by the Oilers. Lets not plan the SC parade just yet after 6 games.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.
Nobody see 14 wins split between 2 regular season with 4 loses in 5 games in the 1st round of the POs as a success.There's different ways to define different streaks
50 in 50 is always single-season
Ironman streaks are over many seasons
14 in a row over 2 seasons is pretty cool, and 6-0-0 to start the year is also a nice start
Colorado and Edmonton didn't play each other in the playoffs.The Jets got destroyed by the AVs in the POs that were then destroyed by the Oilers. Lets not plan the SC parade just yet after 6 games.
What does it matter if its a "legitimate one"? That's not what's being discussed.
Idk if there’s a language barrier here but legitimate = validIt's just not a valid wat to end a game imo
A compromise: if no one has the lead after 5 shooters, the shootout ends in a tie. That way everyone’s equally unhappybut then again. I'm european and not allergic to games ending in a tie.
Your right. The Oilers beat the team that destroyed the Avs that destroyed the Jets.Colorado and Edmonton didn't play each other in the playoffs.
Nobody is planning a parade.
Last year doesn't count into this season because they got their ass handed to them in the playoffs so there's some losses there. New season new start.List of NHL longest winning streaks - Wikipedia

They have won their last 8 last year and first 5 this year.
Sandwiched by a pretty crappy playoff but impressive none the less.
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
Nobody see 14 wins split between 2 regular season with 4 loses in 5 games in the 1st round of the POs as a success.
Uh, no... you can't say "no matter how you view it" in this case, because if you view it so that streaks are reset when seasons change, then this way of viewing it would invalidate the streak.Well, no matter how you view it, they have won 13 regular season games in a row.
Pretty rich coming from a Laffs fan……Doesn't matter, Hellybuck will just choke in the playoffs like he normally does.
You would definitely know since you have been choking since 1967!!Doesn't matter, Hellybuck will just choke in the playoffs like he normally does.
Your right. The Oilers beat the team that destroyed the Avs that destroyed the Jets.
Now that we cleared this up how about addressing my point.
Celebrating 14 wins over 2 seasons with a massive PO lost in the first round sandwiched in-between this 6 game streak is ridiculous.
BTW I've been a Jet fan since 1972.

And I feel this way about it, by the way. Everything resets when the season changes.
Unless it broke/breaks the record, who gives a shit??
11th?? Big f***ing deal
Might as well just give em’ the Cup while we’re at it…
