^^ The 1997-98 Edmonton Ice went 0-19-2 to start the season.. but the WHL record belongs to the 1989-90 Victoria Cougars, who lost 32 straight between 11/22/89 - 02/11/90 (courtesy whl.ca). Milan Dragicevic, who coached the Giants to a 13-win season in 2001-02, was a defenseman on that team.
As for this year, watched Seattle shut down the Giants tonight, they could really be a dark horse to come out of the West this year.. Huge on the back end (Hickey played well), some good scorers up front (Holloway had 2 goals tonight including the GWG), and they've gotten solid goaltending from Helenius (who played tonight) and DeSerres. Big crowd of almost 13k went home unhappy.
EDIT: Resolute with the photo finish!
