Notes: The length of the above seasons varies from 70 to 84 games. Ties were only recorded until 2003-04. In 1999–2000 the NHL started to award points to teams that had lost in overtime, leading to a system in which teams could potentially earn 3 points between them in a single game, rather than a fixed number of two previously. After the 2004-05 NHL lockout the league eliminated ties meaning that any game which went to overtime would be a three point game. These changes in points awarded therefore make strict comparisons in wins, losses, and points before and after these dates slightly problematic.

Famous quotes containing the words season and/or records:
“The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
