Where does Kane's point streak rank?

[cheswick]

I've been looking on google and can't find it anywhere. I'm not asking for subjective views on where this would rank based on different levels of scoring in the league. I'm just curious as to how many times a 26 point streak or longer has been obtained.

All I could find is that there have been ten different streaks of 28 games or higher. Curious if anyone knows how many 27 and 26 game streaks have been achieved?

This may be stupid but I consider a 26 gm point streak equivalent to about a 40 game point streak achieved in the 80s.

Not stupid at all. Watch clips of goalies in the 80s. They were terrible and played a stand up style and players could score from all over the ice.

Short side would go in, every time. Kinda amazing how bad goaltending was in comparison to now. Goalies never let those in now.

Considering the prevalence of 150+ point seasons back then, I don't disagree.

That's all well and good but that's exactly what I wasn't asking about. I'm just curious about in the record books where it falls, leaving that kind of discussion aside.

I did that already, as I said. All I could find is top ten which cuts off at 28 games.

This is from Crosby's streak so same info applies. Cuts off at 28 because there was nothing in between

Impressive in this day and age. Post 05 Lockout, #2 behind Sid's 25 games, imho.

 

[Milan90]

There hasn't been one of 26+ games since 92-93. So I think we can safely assume that there aren't an incredible deal of players to have hit 26-27.

Yeah, this produces the exact same that the original poster already pointed out.

Did you read the thread, or were you just looking for a way to be clever with LMGTFY?

It is just a bit more impressive than Ville Leino's 21 points in 19 games in 2009 playoffs.

It's tough to quantify because of rule changes. For instance, long ago, before OT, teams would get a point for a tie rather than play 5 minutes less and not have the wide open game 3-on-3 game that helped to keep Kane's streak alive.

As a matter of fact, it wasn't that long ago that all handpasses were whistled down. That means the handpass in the defensive zone that allowed Kane to pass Hull way back at 18 games would have resulted in a whistle, not a streak extending assist.

No, it definitely is stupid. A streak is a streak, you don't get to pro-rate it.

Considering the prevalence of 150+ point seasons back then, I don't disagree.

1980-1990: 407 shutouts / 17 220 starts (2.4%)
2006-2016: 1 471 shutouts / 22 072 starts (6.7%)
