Oh yeah, Kipper had 45 wins.

Despite the fact that there is OT & SO these days, I still think the 50 win achievement for Holtby would be absolutely incredible. The league has more parity than ever, so the Caps run this season as a whole is incredible in itself.

They are on pace for 61 wins They could come close to tying or breaking the single season win record set by the Wings.
