Eklund: The NHL Franchise All-Time Standings May Really Shock You. Buzz@2

I'll blindly assume this wasn't adjusted for ties/shootout wins...and therefore is completely useless and misleading

Hi Ek...you're missing San Jose in the since 1990 bracket

go Habs!

shocked that since 1990 that only expansion teams/teams who have moved have had the highest winning percentage.

I really thought it would have been someone like the Bruins or Wings or Philly or Jersey...

shocked/not shocked.

Is this based on what NHL considers winning %?

Because if you take away the Whalers, the Canes all time win % is .521

Love the Whalers but they were never, ever good.

Wow I am shocked that someone went through this pointless exercise.

This might seem relevant to anyone who just completed Grade 2 math but Eklund just wasted x amount of time with this useless article.

had to take it twice

I loath when records for the Jets 2.0 include Atlanta or Arizona. This is a new team with no connection to those cities and what they did so I wish the pendents stopped doing this. It was a fresh start for Winnipeg so stop tying them to the past.










i loath

if you wasted time reading it, what does that say about you?

Who needs winning percentage? It’s all about the cups baby!

Cant really argue against this

This is superb but what does Corsi have Tanner?

To correct in part a franchise on your "70's Expansion" listing, the "NJ/Colorado" franchise originally began as the Kansas City Scouts in the 1974/75 season for its first two seasons of existence. They relocated first to Denver to become the Colorado Rockies from the 1976/77 season through the 1981/82 campaign, prior to later moving for good to become the NJ Devils effective in the 1982/83 season.

The listing should read as "NJ Devils / Colorado Rockies / Kansas City Scouts" as far as its NHL history goes.

It is hard to compare 50 year of the Flyers or MUCH LONGER of Montreal vs. 1.5 years in Vegas as that is just too short a period of time.

Add in one of the Flyers' losing streaks from this year and with the sample size - you'd see them drop like a rock on this list.

With that said - good for Vegas for doing as well out of the gate as they have being an expansion franchise. I like their deadline moves and signings too. They are a great plus-minus team for us fantasy players.

What surprised you?

How uninteresting this was.

Apples and oranges.
3 point games didn’t happen until recently.
Take out “loser points” and run it again. Or better still make all OT or shootout games into ties with 1 pt each and re run it. Then you have a usable methodology.

I guess 24 Stanley cups isn't quite good enough to eclipse a team that has less than 2 seasons worth of games played.

How did I know it was going to be useless you turd.

Ek using OT/shootout losses as if they were ties, meaning this is points earned percentage instead of winning percentage, which gives a huge leg up to teams formed more recently, as they spent a higher percentage of their lifespan in this inflated points era.

If you're going to do this sort of article, do it right. Put actual winning percentage.

Ya me too

How uninteresting this was.

Thanks for the laugh, Eklund is a moron. The cherry on top is when he put Vegas before Montreal. Anyone who has studied would die of laughter from seeing Eklund compare a team that has been around since 1909 to a team that has been around since 2017

Im shocked it was possible to write something worse then the Malkin Wants To Be The Man scoop
