Eighty-two wins, sixteen more to the Cup, zero losses. Draft the all-time roster that never drops one.
Eighty-two wins, sixteen more to the Cup, zero losses. Draft the all-time roster that never drops one.
Draft an all-time hockey roster — every line and pairing — and win every game on the calendar: all 82 regular-season games plus a 16-0 playoff run to the Cup. 98 wins, 0 losses.
Yes, but most boards fall short. The 98-0 game asks every line, every pairing and the goalie to hold up across a full season and then sixteen more wins in the spring — one soft night anywhere in that stretch ends the run.
Same season, two spellings. People say 98 and 0 out loud and write 98-0 for the record itself — eighty-two regular-season wins plus the sixteen-win Cup run, nothing dropped. No NHL team has ever done it, which is why the 98 and 0 game only exists as a dare: draft the lines and find out how deep your roster really is.
No — 98-0 is hockey's perfect season: eighty-two regular-season wins plus a sixteen-win Cup run. The basketball version people mean is the 82-0 challenge, one perfect NBA regular season. Same dare, different maths — this door deals the hockey one, four lines and a goaltender deep.
Never, and nothing close. The famous marks are Montreal at 60-8-12 in 1976-77, Detroit with 62 wins in 1995-96 and Boston with a record 65 in 2022-23 — and every one of them still lost games in double figures.
A spin opens one club’s dressing room and the skaters who actually played there, carrying the numbers they posted that season. Four lines, three pairings and a goaltender all have to hold up. Hockey exposes a depth gap faster than anything else on this site: a thin third line shows up in April even when the top six is stacked.
Neither. No cost, no sign-up — it runs in the browser and saves your lines to the device you played on.
A century of the NHL back to 1917 — real player seasons rated against their own era. Original Six clubs sit on the same reel as the expansion years, each listed by city and years so you know exactly which dressing room a spin has opened.
A few minutes end to end. Four lines, three pairings and a goaltender come off the eras you spin, and then the regular season and the Cup run play through in one pass.
A single defeat across ninety-eight games. Hockey finds a thin third line eventually, and the night that ends a run is far more often a flat February road game than anything that happens in a Cup final.
Eighty-two regular-season games plus the sixteen wins it takes to lift the Cup. Win every one of them and the season reads 98-0.
It is the hockey lane of Draft Challenger — one dare, twelve sports: draft real players from real eras and survive the whole schedule. This door owns the eighty-two-plus-sixteen season; the other eleven sports run from the main site.
This is not a live standings page, so it cannot tell you — a scores site has the current run, and in an 82-game season a spotless record rarely survives October. Worth knowing for the historical version: the famous NHL streaks are unbeaten runs rather than perfect ones, because a tie ended neither. Philadelphia went 35 games without a loss in 1979-80 and did not win all 35. What this page offers is the all-time build: draft the lines yourself and see whether your roster can go the whole way.
There is — the NHL career simulator gives one skater the draft, the deals and the long decline to manage, rather than asking four lines to survive ninety-eight nights. It reads from the same century of hockey this reel spins.
The arithmetic works in both sports — an NBA season is also 82 games, and sixteen playoff wins also make 98 — but here 98-0 is hockey: every line and pairing through the NHL schedule, then the sixteen more that lift the Cup. The basketball board on this network is the 82-0 challenge, and it stops at the regular season.
The record starts in 1917, when six clubs carried the whole league. Drafting an unbeaten side means reaching across that and everything expansion added after it.
47 franchises, from the six-club years through every expansion since, each split into the eras it really played.
Goaltending has a trophy of its own, and that is the tell: a season in net cannot be read from the same numbers as a season on the wing. A ninety-eight-win roster needs both, and the honours are what let you weigh one against the other.
444 are recorded and all of them can be drafted, but the board deals seasons rather than careers. Some of the seasons a spin opens fall either side of the years that earned the honour.
