Aren't we like something like 16-2-2 or some gaudy number like that?
16 in a row is impressive but there was like 12 games against bottom tier teams where as we had a pretty tough stretch.
Yes, or something, yes!! That is incredible, gaudy, and special, like I said.
AND there is a reason why winning 17 games in a row under any historic conditions has NEVER been done before... no matter your schedule or opposition, you are playing NHL teams and winning that many in a row has not ever been accomplished (?); therefore, doing what only a few teams in history have done, winning 16 in a row would be considered "historic."
Really not sure why it needs to be qualified in any way. First, like I said, our record in the last whatever number of games has been special and I LOVE it.
Second, still not sure why our special accomplishment means we have to qualify the historic accomplishment of them winning 16 in a row. What they did was simply amazing and the fact that only a few teams in all history have done it means it is so impressive that as much as I or others don't like them or the fan base at times, I tip my hat to them and think people are being petty in not acknowledging it or trying to bring down what they did (although I will agree that the conditions of their schedule were well set up for some success, just not any sort of the expected outcome of a historic run).
But whatever, YMMV
