It's so bad that I left after 2. Disgusting effort.

Just trade the bums already.

If I was Ken King... I think I'd fire Brian Burke.

I would think it was a Jet or Oiler as they have the longest team droughts.

Chris Thorburn has 504 and seemed like the longest guy for the Jets.

Can't think of a guy that may have bounced around from crap team to crap team to get more.

Ron Hainsey is at 635

The Columbus Blue Jackets were shutout 16 times in the 2006-2007 season.

What do we figure the over/under is on Calgary breaking their record?

Considering they're about to be shutout for the 6th time in 3 weeks... they certainly seem determined to give the record a run.

Hate that teams run up the score like this. Classless.

The Young Guns era team was worse IMO. But the Western Conference back then wasn't the murderer's row lineup that it is now. So this team will finish lower despite having better prospects and a few better core pieces.
