The Rest on the Quest

Although it is a dubious honor, the South Carolina Stingrays have more playoff losses than other club in ECHL history with 53. Though on the surface this sounds like a negative, it does go to show that you have to make the playoffs in order to lose in the playoffs, and the Rays have made it a record 14 times.
