Hockey/Math exercise
Moderator: Team Captains
Not sure where to get the source infor or what it would take to do, but it would be interesting (to me at least) to be able to compare the win percentage of every NHL team that existed from 1970/71 season through to the 2006/06 season. It is my guess that the Flyers may be number one. Certainly near the top. In which case, it only makes sense that they finally do some time on rock bottom, even though they have been my main team throughout the last 35 yrs. Always in my top 5 and often number 1. It was a good run of fairly consistant good and often exciting hockey.

I dunno about percentages, but the St. Louis Blues held an all-time pro-sports record of 25 consecutive playoff appearances up until they bombed out last season...

My bad - SECOND longest. From Wikipedia:
"Despite years of mediocrity and the stigma of never being able to "take the next step", the Blues were a playoff presence every year from 1980 to 2004 ? the second longest active streak in North American professional sports at the time."

Still the Eskimos record includes seasons where only 25% of the franchises missed the playoffs, and did get in with a 6 - 12 record in 2000.Soundy wrote:My bad - SECOND longest. From Wikipedia:
