This has to be a dubious NHL record

[Fenway]

Colorado visits Boston on Sunday. The last time the Avalanche lost in Boston was on March 30, 1998

From the Bruins press notes for tomorrow



I can't fathom any other visiting team having a longer streak.

Unless it just happened recently (don't think so but can't recall with certainty), the Wings haven't won in Philly since the '97 Finals.

If you add "in regulation", then I agree.

That's pretty amazing.

But the Wings are the visiting team - Colorado has done this in Boston

Avalanche goaltenders with wins (or ties) during the streak: Patrick Roy, Marc Denis, Peter Budaj, Craig Anderson, Semyon Varlamov, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, Reto Berra, Calvin Pickard.

Hmmm, fair enough.

As an Avalanche fan, this streak's ending tomorrow. We suck.

 

[reckoning]

It's only 12 games, just seems like a lot more because of the length of time. It is odd that Boston is the winless team, as they been fairly strong over the last decade. But I'm sure there's longer streaks by number of games, if not by years.

While it's not really the same thing, because it's a winless streak by a road team, but Pittsburgh went 42 games without a win in Philadelphia (0-39-3) from '74 to '89.

Unless it just happened recently (don't think so but can't recall with certainty), the Wings haven't won in Philly since the '97 Finals.

The opposite happened with the Flyers in Detroit. Flyers went 0-14-2 in Detroit from 1989-2011.

With the exception of Game 6 of the 2010 SCF, Chicago has gone 0-14-1 at the Wells Fargo Center since 1996.

That's God-awful, but it's teams in different conferences, right? How many times have they played since then?

The one that takes the cake for me is Pittsburgh in Philly, 1970s to 1980s. The Pens went winless at Philly for 42 games in a row, from Feb. 1974 to Feb. 1989.

The key to me is Colorado is the road team and that makes this streak unique.

Quite interesting. Little un-related but did some digging here's how Quebec (Now the Avs) did vs. Boston when playing in Boston:

NHL Results: 1917-18

Right you are, though it took 3 on 3 for them to pull it off. I was holding my breath in OT

 

[Big Phil]

That is (was I guess after today) really strange because it not only was the road team but Boston has been good for the most part since 1998 and Colorado for at least half of that time has not been good at all.

 

[Normand Lacombe]

Vancouver went 0-13-4-1 vs Philadelphia at home from December, 1989 thru December, 2008. That's still worse than the Colorado-Boston one.

Vancouver went 0-13-4-1 vs Philadelphia at home from December, 1989 thru December, 2008. That's still worse than the Colorado-Boston one.

Especially odd that this streak started when it did. Right around the time Vancouver went from perennial doormat to generally decent franchise, and also when Philly started a skid of several years missing the playoffs.

Looking back further, Philly generally fared well in Vancouver even before that streak. So from the inception of the Canucks franchise until 2008, it looks like they had an all time record of 36-10-12 in the city of Vancouver, including a playoff game. Not sure if that would be the best all-time record for a road team against one opponent over a sample size of over 50 games, but I'd imagine it must be close.
