Re: Worst seasons of all time?
So, adjusting BU's 72-73 season and Maine's 93-94 season (are there any other seasons that need to have their record's adjusted?)...
The 2009-2010 BU Terriers have the worst winning percentage for a team the season after winning a national championship. The 1989-1990 Harvard Crimson had the worst hangover, they went from 31-3-0 to 13-14-1, a winning % difference of .430.
Top 5 of both criteria:
Disclaimer: This uses BU's current record (7-10-3), which will surely change by the end of the season. The records given include post-season play, not just regular season. The records given are those reported by USCHO except for the two "adjusted" records. Any records that are reported incorrectly are probably incorrect on the USCHO site.
