[QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3935636, member: 289"] 1994 OG: 144 NB: 77 Historical: OG: 2,192 points, 23 victories and 9 rings NB: 1,591 points, 12 victories and 10 rings. The Knicks again won the 7 team Atlantic with a 57-25 record, better than all but the Sonics and the Rockets in a 27-team league. The Nets continued to get a little better, finishing third at 45-37, better than 13 teams. The Knicks took care of the Nets in the first round, 3 games to 1, then beat the Bulls and Pacers in classic 7 game series before losing to the Rockets in still another 7-game series, (the ‘O.J. series’). That was worth a fat 43 points. The Nets got just 14. The Rangers won the 7 team Patrick Division with a 52-24-8 (112) record, the best in what was now a 26-team league. The Devils had the second-best record, 47-25-12 (105). The Islanders were an even 36-36-12 (84), better than 11 teams. The Rangers swept the Islanders in the first round, the Capitols in 5 in the quarterfinals and the Devils in a 7-game classic for the conference title before beating the Vancouver Canucks in 7 for their first Stanley Cup in 54 years. That gave them a mountainous 57 points and ended any suspense for the year. The Devils/Islanders had 42 points themselves but Poppa/J2 were up 100-56 with two seasons to go. Baseball shot itself in the foot with a season-ending strike but before that happened the Yankees had the best record in the American League, 70-43, a harbinger of things to come. Only the National League Expos at 74-40, were better. MLB had split into six divisions and the AL East just had 5 teams, so the Yankees got 30 points. The failed dynasty of the Mets had entered the roller-coaster phase they’ve been in ever since, at 55-58, better than 17 of the 28 teams, (including the entire AL West, which was ‘won’ by the 52-62 Rangers). That made it 130-73. The Giants got worse, falling to 9-7, but the Jets did, too, falling to 6-10 and last place. The Giants were better than 14 teams, the Jets better than 4. They both watched the playoffs on TV, making the final score a 144-77 rout. 77 points would have won this competition 19 times. But 144 points beat the record by 38 points. Poppa had a big smile on his face but the Juniors weren’t even talkin’. [/QUOTE]
