Cup Final Lost Since 2008

One Final since the Cup. Pittsburgh, 2009, seven games, and the othah guys got the parade. Game 7 was at home, pal. Home.

First-Round Exits

Four first-round exits. The opening round's the only round they've been consistent in.

Failed Attempts at Another Cup

Eight playoff runs since the Cup, eight ways to lose. Hockeytown, population: disappointed.

Straight Springs on the Couch

Twenty-five straight playoffs, then ten straight springs on the couch. They went from the best streak in hockey to the longest nap.

Teams Better Than the Red Wings

Eleven other franchises have won a Cup since the Wings did. Eleven, kid. Even Florida, and Florida's got alligators and a retirement home.

Straight Seasons Without a Series Win

Thirteen straight seasons without winnin' a playoff series. That's not a drought, that's a witness protection program.

Regulation Losses in 2019–20

Seventeen wins and forty-nine regulation losses in 2019–20. Thirty-nine points. A hockey team shouldn't be able to get a numbah that low without tryin'.

Days Since Their Last Stanley Cup

 

More than six thousand days since the Cup. Hockeytown has a lotta free time.

Hockeytown Tears

Hockeytown, population: disappointed.
