- With the Chicago Blackhawks having maybe their worst season in 70 years, I wanted to compare their year to some of the worst NHL teams of all time. From the 8-win Washington Capitals in 1974-75 to the 2019-20 Detroit Red Wings - the worst single-season team in the salary cap era - we'll take a look at some of the most dubious performances in a single NHL season. Let me know in the comments: What's your favorite NHL team's most disappointing season ever (i.e. a Stanley Cup contender that lost in the first round)? And stick around for more coverage of the NHL all season (and postseason) long!

Thanks for watching, Twisters!
Video ideas: Every player from the Miracle on Ice to play in the NHL, and the history of the most historic college hockey rivalry North Dakota vs Minnesota. Great video.
Both those ideas are excellent, thank you!
Even with Benard in the hawks they still continue to suck. Simply unbelievable
BEDARD Not Bernard
It’s not really unbelievable, one guy isn’t going to automatically make a whole team good suddenly. Hawks also still have a ton of cap space, they’re just getting more top draft picks and rebuilding right now; might actually be good again in like a couple seasons.
I saw the 1975 Capitals play here in Pittsburgh on March 15th. Michel Belhumer and Ron Low coughed up 12 goals in a 12-1 Pens victory. Pens goalie Gary Inness never moved - never.
I be interested in a video were you talk about all the weird division names of the past. Not sure how much information there is out there about the names.
That's easily one of the most unique ideas I've received, and I think I could do something fun with that. Thank you!
Could you make a video on all the defunct teams? like the rise and fall of each
I might just start with a video on one specific team/franchise, but that's right up my alley. Thank you!
@@TwistedWristerHockey That'd be sick!
@@TwistedWristerHockey How about the NY Americans?
@@sdgakatbk I won't rule them out, but it'll depend on how much useful information is out there, in addition to photos/videos (there probably won't be a whole lot to choose from).
@@TwistedWristerHockey There is a movie Only the Dead Know the Brooklyn Americans though I think that is more about their last season in Brooklyn. I haven't seen a book on them but they have a very interesting history. Really someone should write one, going back to newspaper accounts.
Another interesting defunct team is the Montreal Maroons. I have a book on them, The Montreal Maroons written by William Brown. Hall of Famer Hooley Smith was described as the prototypical Maroon: Tough, talented, and troublesome.
EDIT: I just rewatched Only the Dead Know the Brooklyn Americans and it is very good. It has a lot of the Americans' history.
Considering that the Devils were predicted to win the cup this season, this may be the most disappointing season i can recall in 30+ years I've been a fan. Sure they have had plenty of bad years but to fall so far from what many of us thought they could achieve this year, this one stings.
As a Leaf fan, the 2011-12 "18-wheeler going off a cliff" season has to be the worst. Just because they were supposed to have been building for years, and then to come crashing down and to see it was really just a house of cards. It was brutal. At least Burke got fired. Eventually.
Again a very interesting vid !!! Stay strong TWH !
We don't talk about the Red Wings under the direction of Jeff Blashill... Their was simply no direction
I'm surprised not to see any of the mid-2000's post-lockout Blues teams on here, when ownership basically abandoned the team as they couldn't get the NBA team they really wanted. The Checketts era was another dark time but they were at least average then.
I have 3 examples of worst seasons for my teams. I am a Penguins fan, and have been following the Golden Knights since their inception. For the Penguins 1993 and 2010 were disappointing playoff series loses to the Islanders and Canadiens respectively, and for the Knights, it would have to be the playoff series against the San Jose Sharks from 2019 and the series in the bubble against the Canadiens in 2020.
Oh yeah, 1993 without a doubt. With the Knights' success, you almost have to leave them out of a video like this 😆 but you definitely have a point about both years.
I saw the Pens play from 1967-1983. Pick any season here and they sucked. Even blew a 3-games-to-none lead over the Islanders in the mid 70s which tanked their season. Lemieux saved this franchise in every conceivable way.
Most disappointing Blues season - The Gretzky year. So much promise, stolen by an injury... It was heartbreaking.
I’m curious, why is this video in 4:3 screen ratio while the background is the Shark Tank?
Good question. Since nearly all the footage I used was 4:3, I wanted to frame it with something instead of just leaving it black. I'd love to make some variations of that backing for future videos though.
@@TwistedWristerHockey ah, ok 👍 that’s a good idea to do that but I think it would be nice to see the footage naturally go from 4:3 to widescreen.
@@strongarm_11 I appreciate your feedback and will continue to tinker with this some :)
@@TwistedWristerHockey ok 👍
For my Hab's it's been the last few seasons. The Seals and their white skates - hoo boy was that a disaster!
As a Bruins fan last year has to be the most disappointed I’ve ever been as a sports fan in general. 2019 is a close second.
College hockey NCAA championship games...I'm bias as I was their photog for a decade+ but the best championship game was 1990-91 Northern Michigan University vs. Boston University.
Wildcats won in triple OT 8-7 (with a really sweet goal. Just beautiful).
NHL players in that game:
Boston - Tony Amonte, Keith Tkachuk, Peter Ahola, Scott Lachance...
NMU - Dallas Drake (won cup with Wings in '08. Multi 6th man award and Rookie for Wings in 1992. Hoisted the cup 1st. Much deserved) Jim Hiller (coach for the Kings) and Brad Werenka (one of the most intelligent and a top offensive defenseman. Think he had 20+ goals that season. Hobey Baker finalist)
Plus one of the greatest scorers in NCAA history, Scott Beattie (Scoring leader and Hobey finalist, who scored 50+ in 1991 and I don't believe anyone has scored that many since though the game has definitely changed but he was unstoppable. Barely 5'-7" but the hands, shot, and vision were top caliber and he was the most entertaining college hockey player ever...like I said, I am bias, but I think many others would agree.
If you haven't watched that game it's def worth it...if you can find the full version. I think it comes and goes on here but has been available for viewing. Peace
Hey man, glad to hear you're going to a Canes game. Hope you enjoy
It's just so odd to see them without helmets and with helmets...in the same game. lol.
Only good thing to come out of COVID was it mercy killed the Wings season.
You can't compare the post-expansion '70's expansion teams like caps, kc scouts with cap era bad teams. caps, kc were given nothing but shit to pick from in expansion draft back then. You were told to suck for 5 years and build thru the draft. Isles sucked their first year. Used that first pick of '73 to get their first big piece of dynasty in potvin. Some teams like rockies, seals couldn't even do that and traded high picks away. And the bad post-cap teams were bad for a reason. Total mismanagement or like pens or '15 sabres went into tanking mode for franchise type players. Bad expansion sens in '92-'93 tanked for daigle.
I was hoping to see the 1999 inaugural Thrashers on here but at least they got an honorable mention.
21-22 canadiens was the worst one I ever witnessed.
those 1980-81 Loseipeg (ahem, WINNIPEG!) Jets were especially bad: 9-57-14 (.200%)
I have an autographed card from that worst all time Capitals teams goalie lol Ron Low cost me 5$
The 06-07 season. My beloved Hurricanes had just won the Stanley Cup, and what do they do for an encore? They squat over our dreams of a repeat title, spread their buttcheeks and diarrhea alllllll over any hopes for a repeat.
Kind of an interesting topic to possibly explore in the future - teams that missed the playoffs the year after winning the Stanley Cup.
Try being a Buffalo Sabres fan for one minute.
That Hurricanes team was never going to repeat. They had everything go their way the year they won. I felt good for them, but anyone not living Carolina new they weren't a dynasty.
💥💥It's always weird to me when I see fans like you who have a team but you wear other teams jerseys.
I can never do that. I'm a Eagles fan I couldn't put on another team's football jersey even if i am a football fan.
I'm a Yankee fan so i don't wear any other teams baseball hats except for New York Yankees. Same thing with my New Jersey devils and my Philadelphia 76ers
discord link timed out again.....
With your astute observation, I think I might have figured this out! Try this link: discord.gg/hB5RGF8Zxr. That is programmed to never expire.
And here's all the fun backstory: The weird thing is that Discord has not set ^ that link as the sort of "default" link to share; it always shows me a link that will expire in 7 days, but the url is completely different. So what I did was generate the permanent url you see above, then I restarted Discord and clicked on the Invite prompt. It initially showed me a 7-day link, but when I set the link to not expire, it showed me the same url you see above. So I have faith that that url will not expire! Of course, technology often has a way of tricking us 😆
