I would have to put the Edmonton Oilers from 83'-90'.. Just above those Montreal teams of the mid 70's...

I'd say the 1976-77 Canadians. They lost only 8 games that year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Canadians

In 1976-77 the Canadiens would set a modern-day record by only losing eight games in an 80-game season. The Canadiens would then go on to win three more consecutive Cups to close out the 1970s.

this is a spam thread anyway and was designed to cause inflamation so what the **** I will go on record as saying the Soviet national team from 1952 to 1992 was the greatest hockey team of all time. Think about it, they had an all time record of 725 wins 110 losses and 65 ties. The reason the NHL and Canada National team wins in the 1970s and of course the miracle on ice of 1980 olympic fame are so memorable is because Soviet Hockey was so dominant. The reason they were so good is because they were in fact professional hockey players as they were comprised of the best players of Red Army, Spartak, Dynamo, etc. If I am not mistaken the fact that they were professional athletes is one of the reasons that the Olympic Committee eventually allowed professional basketball players and later baseball players and eventually hockey players to compete in the olympics.

I'm not a huge hockey fan but winning 4 straight from '80-'83 has to put the Islanders up there especially when they crushed the next dynasty in 1983 sweeping Edmonton and holding them to 6 goals in the 4 games.

No other option but the 76-77 Canadiens. No team ever was or ever will be that dominant. 1 loss in their last 34 games and 1 loss at home all season. 2 Losses in the Playoffs.
I still think their 4 Cups in a row would have been 5 if Bowman & Dryden would have stuck around after the 4th. Dennis Heron's blunder cost them Game 7 in the semi-finals against the North Stars. Can't see a Bowman coached Canadiens team losing in the finals, even against the Islanders.

The Islanders of 1980-1983 and making to the finals in 84.They won 19 straight playoff series which is still an NHL record today.
