I compiled data from NHL.com to rank each playoff team since 05-06 based on a simple but interesting stat.
Every playoff run a team qualifies for, they can win up to 16 games. My question was: "Since 05-06 on average, what % of games did each team win, given that they qualified for the playoffs that year?"
So for example, if since 05-06 your team qualified for the playoffs twice they have 32 maximum wins (16 x 2 = 32). Let's say the first season they won 2 games and the second they won 10 games they have 12 total playoffs wins from 05-06 to 24-25. So that would be 12/32= 37.5%.

🟩 Won the cup at least once. 🟨 Went to the finals at least once.

Sabres at 11 baffles me
It’s crazy how the Wild have made the playoffs over half of the seasons they have played since coming into the league and have nothing to show for it. One Conference finals appeareance out of 12 playoff appearances is Wild.
Number 3 let’s go
Thankfully we finally got it done, but a bad look for Caps, Preds….
How would this look if every team had 16 potential playoff wins in each season and not just the ones they qualified for the playoffs. Also what did you do with the covid season and the bubble ?
This makes absolutely no sense.
Isles get discredited for making it. No credit for making ECFs, and Buffalo lauded for… the longest drought in NA sports. Good lord. Sometimes data is just numbers
The Wild really have been unthinkably bad as a playoff team. Even if they were an underdog a lot of the time, there should have been way more fight. Some tough draws with those 2010s Hawks teams, but it’s not just consistently losing, it’s consistently getting thumped in short series despite making it quite often. Parise is really the only one in this span whose playoff numbers look even ok.
Is it considered a “run” if you never win a series? Asking because fml
I’ll still take our 3 cups
FIFTEEN CUP RUNS AND NO CUPS 😵💫😵💫😭😭 I can’t take this shit
Well this is depressing to say the least…
Pretty crazy that us and the Hurricanes are in the top 5 despite having lengthy playoff droughts during this stretch. Seems like every time either of us get into the playoffs, we go far.
lol at the Flyers having a better winning percentage than the Leafs.
One day I’ll get to enjoy hockey in summer
Habs fan OP:
*What chart can I build that further emphasizes the Toronto maple leafs’ lack of playoff success?*
Not last WOOOO 💪💪💪 also anyone get a lil sad seeing the yotes on this list and know they won’t ever get their numbers up :/
How are we not ranked last ?
Well look at that🤩👍🏻
Seattle at 6 is perfect, no notes
Gimme the stats since the 90s, lol
