When was the last time the Detroit Red Wings did not make the playoffs?
1990-1991 they've made it into the playoffs more time in a row than any other team of the 'big 4' (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL). 19 seasons in a row. The second most playoff appearances (I think) is the Boston Bruins, then (I know) its the San Antonio Spurs.
