In the lates to mids, the Senators were one of the better teams in the NHL in the regular season. In the history of the franchise, the team has failed to qualify for the postseason only eight times — including in each of its first four seasons. With 16 playoff berths — including a run of 11 straight appearances from until , the Senators had consistently made the playoffs. The Senators have played in the conference finals three times in franchise history, including the season when the team advanced to the Stanley Cup Final before eventually losing to the Anaheim Ducks.
Both teams fell short of their ultimate goals in when the Ducks lost to the Nashville Predators and the Senators lost to the Stanley Cup-winning Pittsburgh Penguins in the conference finals. The second NHL franchise to grace the state of Minnesota following the movement of the North Stars to Dallas, the Wild are still a very young franchise. In 18 seasons, the Wild have qualified for the playoffs nine times while missing the playoffs nine times.
The team has been bounced from the first round six times while playing in the second round in three different seasons including a trip to the Conference Finals in just their third season, resulting in a sweep to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Yet to play in a Stanley Cup Final series, the Wild had their best season as a franchise in with a record, good for points and second place in the Central Division.
Competing in one of the toughest divisions in hockey against some of the best teams in the league, the Wild will have their work cut out for them each and every year as they look to compete for their first championship. Appearing in the Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history, the goal for the Predators from the very start of the season has been the Stanley Cup.
Making history with a conference Ffnals appearance is a nice goal to have achieved, but the end-game for every franchise is winning a Stanley Cup. Unfortunately, the team fell just short as the Penguins went on to capture their second title in as many years. Only missing the playoffs three times since , the Predators have qualified for the postseason 12 times. Starting the postseason off in decisive fashion with a sweep of the first-place Chicago Blackhawks, the Predators have proven that they can compete with the best in the league.
That remained true in when the Predators were ultimately the best team in the regular season and looked like they had the potential to go on a deep postseason run. They have made it to the playoffs a respectable 8 more times but have only won a playoff series twice.
In addition, they lost in the first round three times in a row in , , and before not qualifying in the playoffs in Oh wait, they had never actually won a playoff round until this year !
Wow, talk about long-suffering fans. When the Blue Jackets did make it to the playoffs, they got swept 4 games to 0. So, the odd, odd time they made the playoffs they did not even win a game. What I will give them is that when they finally owned their first playoff series, they did do it in dramatic fashion.
As heavy underdogs, they knocked off the top team in the regular season — Tampa Bay Lightning — 4 games to 0. Wow, wow, wow! They went to the Stanley Cup finals! In the world or competitive sports, this is unheard of. It really is one of the most remarkable sports stories of this century. Led by the goaltending of Marc-Andre Fleury, Vegas was able to beat three great teams before finally falling to the Washington Capitals in 6 games in the Stanley Cup Finals.
