Long been meaning to do something with this old chestnut: https://vhlforum.com/topic/1066-vhl-playoff-history-updated-for-s61/

 

New York is currently closest to joining the list with an ongoing 8-season drought with the last cup win coming in S53. New York also has the second longest active playoffs streak at 4 seasons.

 

An indication of the league's overall parity I guess - every franchise goes up and down and features on these lists. Apart from poor old Vasteras, they never got a good playoff streak going. And not that @Higgins needs an ego boost, but he has led Helsinki on both their longest playoff streaks, while their only notable drought came in between his GM stints.
