So here's a few proposed guidelines for the content of this page. </p> <ul><li><b>Drought lengths should be in seasons, not years</b> - We've all heard the number 54 associated with the Rangers' Stanley Cup drought, but the drought was no more 54 years long than there was a one-year drought between the Penguins' cup wins in 1991 and 1992. The Rangers failed to win the cup in fifty-<b>three</b> consecutive seasons (1940-41 through 1992-93, inclusive), so 53 should be the number listed. Also, the missing 2004-05 season messes with calculation via dates as well.</li> <li><b>Season counts</b> - The number listed is the number of seasons since their last success in which they have failed to repeat that success. For example, as of this writing, the Florida Panthers have missed the playoffs for the last 5 seasons, which is up to and including 2005-06. If they clinch a playoff spot in 2006-07, then their entry should be removed from the list. If they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs in 2006-07, then the season count should be set to 6. <b>Until either of those happen, don't touch the entry.</b></li> <li><b>Don't list droughts that don't even exist</b> - i.e. The most recent (playoff teams/cup finalists/cup winner) should not be in the lists at all. This one sounds obvious, but today I removed the Oilers' "drought" of not having reached the finals since 2006 (As of this writing, the 2006 finals haven't even been played yet). Hopefully having the season counts there will make people think twice since they'd have to add "(0 seasons)" as well.</li></ul> <p>These are basically my opinions regarding what is a drought, what isn't, and how long they really are. They make 100% perfect sense to me, and the point behind posting them is to prevent misleading info from being added.

It is commonly accepted to include the year a team finally breaks the drought.I would also point out that other league drought pages on wiki include that year. Ranger Fans count it as 54 years.

The NBA and NFL lists don't show the lengths, only the last appearances/wins for each team. And the MLB list agrees with me. For example, think about the famous drought of the Red Sox. What's the length colloquially given to it? Eighty-six years (they won in 1918, then not again until 2004). But the Red Sox entry in the <a href="/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_franchise_post-season_droughts#Longest_World_Series_crown_droughts_through_history" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Major League Baseball franchise post-season droughts">longest World Series droughts in history</a> list agrees with me, starting the drought in the first year in which the Red Sox lost (1919), ending it in the last year in which they lost (2003), and giving the length between those seasons, inclusive (85). <a href="/wiki/User:Aottley" title="User:Aottley">Aottley</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-Aottley-2006-09-07T19:26:00.000Z-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T18:31:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:26, 7 September 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Aottley-2006-09-07T19:26:00.000Z-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T18:31:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Aottley-2006-09-07T19:26:00.000Z-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T18:31:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T19:57:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)"></span>I will not correct the page again its not worth it to go back and forth, however I have to say I still disagree.

I would also point out, that it was probably more then 54 years from when the rangers won in 1940, to when they won in 1994. and thats probably true with a lot drought lenghts (due the number of games increasing thus pushing the finals later in the year).<a href="/wiki/User:Ucscottb4u" title="User:Ucscottb4u">Ucscottb4u</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T19:57:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:57, 7 September 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T19:57:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ucscottb4u-2006-09-07T19:57:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-69.47.227.234-2006-10-08T05:55:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)"></span>I strongly disagree with how this is worded. Why make it 10 times more confusing for every person that comes to this page without reading over the discussion page first? Just change it from seasons without a cup win to years between cups and it'll look much better.

For us Leafs fans, the thinking goes - "We last won the cup in '67, so that is 41 years of futility" (in 2008). Well, yes and no. While it is true that it has been 41 years, in actuality the Leafs have only been futile for 39 seasons during the interval between 1966-67 to 2006-07 (they haven't been mathematically eliminated as of today - yet). But who wants to take the time to explain it correctly - I do and I think the wikipedia page should also? (as an aside, I feel I must 'respect' the history of the "54" years that the NYR fans suffered so I have added a footnote to that drought to try to reconcile what is in the table and what is popularly referred to).</li></ul> <ul><li><b>The missing 2004-05 NHL Season</b> - Ordinarily there is a symmetrical 1:1 correlation between the number of years and the number of seasons of a drought (provided it is calculated correctly). However, the strike season messed that ratio up forever. Now, all the calculations have to take into account whether the streak/drought spans the 2004-05 NHL season since nobody played that year and a team's streak/drought was suspended and doesn't count in the total. A drought of X number of seasons at end of the 2003-04 NHL season is the same number of seasons at the end of the 2004-05 NHL season whereas the number of years is X+1. Thus, using seasons makes more sense than years.</li></ul> <ul><li><b>The NHL season spans 2 years</b> - Using my example of the Leafs, at the beginning of the 2007-08 season, the number of years would have been 40 years. But now it is early 2008, so the futility has been 41 years. Later on in the fall when the next 2008-09 NHL season will have begun, it will still be 41 years, but 4 months later, it will be 42 years. In other words, the use of "years" to measure a streak/drought is a moving target depending on when the observation is done. The use of measuring a drought/streak by "seasons" avoids this quirk of the NHL season spanning the year threshold and relies on the facts.</li></ul> <p>Therefore, for these reasons, in my humble opinion <b>the streak/drought metric should be in seasons, not years</b>. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Eric_Peebles&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Eric Peebles (page does not exist)">Eric Peebles</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Eric_Peebles" title="User talk:Eric Peebles">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-Eric_Peebles-2008-03-21T00:05:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:05, 21 March 2008 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Eric_Peebles-2008-03-21T00:05:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Eric_Peebles-2008-03-21T00:05:00.000Z-Guidelines_(proposed)"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup" data-mw-thread-id="h-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup-2009-05-26T00:24:00.000Z"><span id="Cities.2Fregions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup-2009-05-26T00:24:00.000Z"></span>Cities/regions awaiting first Stanley Cup<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup-2009-05-26T00:24:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Cities/regions awaiting first Stanley Cup"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-68.151.200.103-2012-02-15T22:51:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span>Just wondering if the Columbus "region" should be expanded to include the Cleveland Barons franchise as they are both in Ohio. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/68.151.200.103" title="Special:Contributions/68.151.200.103">68.151.200.103</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:68.151.200.103&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:68.151.200.103 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-68.151.200.103-2012-02-15T22:51:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:51, 15 February 2012 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-68.151.200.103-2012-02-15T22:51:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-68.151.200.103-2012-02-15T22:51:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span> </p><p><br/><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-69.123.9.33-2009-05-26T00:24:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span> I think it is ridiculous not to count Vancouver as waiting for a stanley cup just because of the millionaires.

I too have never felt the thrilling victory of a Stanley Cup Championship as I sit here in the so-called Hockey Centre of the Universe (i.e. Toronto). While people in Tampa Bay and Anaheim celebrate their victories, those of us in a city where hockey is the first sport (vs. other cities where baseball, basketball, college hoops, even Nascar gets prime billing). I've been in those cities where you pick up the local paper and you have to hunt to find the NHL scores from the night before. I also see your point of the lack of connection between the Vancouver Canucks and the Millionaires franchises. However, the list of "Cities/regions awaiting first Stanley Cup" is just a list of cities, not of franchises. The futility of the franchises is prominently listed in the "Stanley Cup droughts" so your pain is recognized. The true follower of the NHL teams will look at the Stanley Cup droughts, the list of cities is merely an interesting sidenote. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Eric_Peebles&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Eric Peebles (page does not exist)">Eric Peebles</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Eric_Peebles" title="User talk:Eric Peebles">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-Eric_Peebles-2009-06-02T20:31:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Eric_Peebles-2009-06-02T20:31:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Eric_Peebles-2009-06-02T20:31:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Beerslayer-2010-01-02T05:44:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span>I have another concern regarding this section. The city of Los Angeles is not listed, despite never having won a Stanley Cup (the Kings have never won one, and I am unaware of any other NHL franchise that has ever existed in Los Angeles). Yes, the Anaheim Ducks have won the Cup, but they are not from Los Angeles and do not share the same hockey tradition. The fans of Los Angeles have never had the opportunity to celebrate their own team winning - the "closest" they have come (and it's a long way off) is to watch their upstart southern rival take the honor of the first California cup from their grasp. I really think Los Angeles should be considered completely separate from Anaheim and therefore LA should be listed in this section. <a href="/wiki/User:Beerslayer" title="User:Beerslayer">beerslayer</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Beerslayer" title="User talk:Beerslayer">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-Beerslayer-2010-01-02T05:44:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:44, 2 January 2010 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Beerslayer-2010-01-02T05:44:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Beerslayer-2010-01-02T05:44:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span> </p><p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Eric_Peebles-2010-01-04T03:17:00.000Z-Cities/regions_awaiting_first_Stanley_Cup"></span>I understand how frustrating the arbitrariness of this section is. The other sections are clear and easy to understand but once you start deciding where a city/team 'belongs' it starts to become very subjective. Obviously the Los Angeles Kings' Stanley Cup drought is real (and painful) and no one would confuse Los Angeles from Anaheim *if* you know the region. However, because Anaheim is listed in the list of cities in the <a href="/wiki/Greater_Los_Angeles_Area" class="mw-redirect" title="Greater Los Angeles Area">Greater Los Angeles Area</a>, the Kings' streak wasn't included.

This would be similar to the warnings for the appearance drought sections which indicate they should be updated after the regular season, but not necessarily the completion of the playoffs. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures" title="Wikipedia:Signatures">unsigned</a> comment added by <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/174.119.19.211" title="Special:Contributions/174.119.19.211">174.119.19.211</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:174.119.19.211&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:174.119.19.211 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-174.119.19.211-2011-04-11T05:34:00.000Z-When_to_update" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:34, 11 April 2011 (UTC)</a></span><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-174.119.19.211-2011-04-11T05:34:00.000Z-When_to_update"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-174.119.19.211-2011-04-11T05:34:00.000Z-When_to_update"></span> </p> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-160.93.6.10-2016-04-27T14:42:00.000Z-174.119.19.211-2011-04-11T05:34:00.000Z"></span>Personally, I agree with this position - I would at least rather the relevant table(s) be updated all at once when the whole round is completed.

This would perhaps be better fleshed out as two tables: games played by never-winners with an opportunity to break the curse; list of games played by never-winners facing elimination <i>in their own barn</i> with the cup present in the building. For the second table I would probably include whether the home team every held the lead (perhaps citing their largest lead, or the last tie-breaking goal if they never held the lead) as well as the time of the official game-winning goal. (Edit: it's likely other never-winners have faced elimination with the cup in their own barn, but I didn't check.) — <a href="/wiki/User:MaxEnt" title="User:MaxEnt">MaxEnt</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-MaxEnt-2014-02-19T14:57:00.000Z-Vancouver_futility_footnotes" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:57, 19 February 2014 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-MaxEnt-2014-02-19T14:57:00.000Z-Vancouver_futility_footnotes"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-MaxEnt-2014-02-19T14:57:00.000Z-Vancouver_futility_footnotes"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule" data-mw-thread-id="h-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z"></span>Someone Has Violated a Rule<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Someone Has Violated a Rule"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Paperkings-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule"></span>The Vegas Golden knights Have not Played a Playoff Game Because they Didnt start Yet It Was an Ip Address I ID,d, it as Disruptive editing and i warned him <a href="/wiki/User:Paperkings" title="User:Paperkings">Paperkings</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Paperkings" title="User talk:Paperkings">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_NHL_franchise_post-season_droughts#c-Paperkings-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:33, 9 April 2017 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Paperkings-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Paperkings-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z-Someone_Has_Violated_a_Rule"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Deadman137-2017-04-09T02:38:00.000Z-Paperkings-2017-04-09T02:33:00.000Z"></span>First, your revert is fine, but you don't need to report it on the talk page.
