but how much does setting the record count given that shootout wins didn't exist back in the day. It is obviously still impressive, and a good sign if the Wings can get home ice in the playoffs.

Shootouts
Shootouts
Shootouts are not the only thing that have changed in hockey since back in the day. Equipment, players skill, and rules have all changed. One could argue that the Wings streak is more impressive considering the overall skill level of the league is much higher. Go wings.

I was saying that it would be just as impressive as the Flyers record in the 70s. I don't think the shootouts take anything away from potentially 20 straight home wins. Shootouts are hard to win and to win 3 of them during the streak only adds to it because of the unpredictable nature of them.

You would be hard pressed to find a coach in the league who actually thought that winning shootouts meant you were a better team. At best it means you have a better set of 3-5 guys who can score on breakaways and a goalie who is lucky/good enough to stop them.

I see your point and tend to
I see your point and tend to
I see your point and tend to agree somewhat. However, the Flyers of '76 and Bruins of '29 or whatever year it was also probably weren't playing with their minor league goaltender in the last three games of their streaks. The fact that the Grand Rapids goalie won us the last 3 games makes it pretty impressive.

The Bruins played the same 5
The Bruins played the same 5
The Bruins played the same 5 teams approximately 4 times during their streak, all of which probably hated them. That's why I think their streak is the most impressive, it's not easy when if team you play is your rival.

Some of the changes in the lockout were good, I don't love this one. Is that reviewable? If not, it should be, since the play creates a stoppage anyway.

I dont think they should review plays like that. It was nearly impossible to see if it hit the glass on that play, and I don't want hockey to turn into football where every other play needs to be reviewed. I'd rather leave it in the refs hands on the ice, and if they screw it up then it gives me something to complain about.

I'd like to see it become reviewable. Over the course of an entire season, it might get reviewed five times per team, and it's a call that results in an immediate stoppage and a penalty. Most of the time there's not any question, but you could tell the officials lost sight of it, and a second look would be warranted.
