Sport's 10 Most Incredible Winning Streaks

10. Philadelphia Flyers (1979 - 1980)

The Philadelphia Flyers don't have the longest run of victories in NHL history - that honour belongs to the Pittsburgh Penguins. What they did achieve is equally impressive. In the 1979-80 season, the Flyers chalked up 35 consecutive games without defeat. This included nine wins on the bounce.

The undefeated run began with a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on 14 October, while the final win of the streak came on 6 January when they beat the Buffalo Sabres 4-2.

They finished the year as the Regular Season Champions, but had to settle for the runner-up position in the Stanley Cup. They lost to the The New York Islanders, but it barely took the shine off an imperious season for a team at the top of their game.
