I was curious, if you were able to go to every Avs home game, going back in time, how far back would you have to go to see all 29 other teams lose.
2011-2012
Kings
Islanders
Stars
Oilers
Devils
Blues
Red Wings
Sharks
Capitals
Flyers
Lightning
Coyotes
Panthers
Blackhawks
Flames
Ducks
Wild
17 in 2011-2012. Let's keep going to get the other 12.
2010-2011
Blue Jackets
Rangers
Senators
Canadiens
Sabres
Canucks
We're up to 23 total. Six left.
2009-2010
Hurricanes
Predators
Thrashers/Jets
26 total. Three teams left: Penguins, Bruins, Maple Leafs.
2008-2009
Penguins
2007-2008
2006-2007
2005-2006
Bruins
Maple Leafs
So what's the deal with the Avs vs Bruins?
2011-2012
Road Win
2010-2011
Home Loss
2009-2010
Road Win
2008-2009

2007-2008
No Game
2006-2007

2005-2006

Same story for Avs vs Leafs:
2011-2012
Road Win
2010-2011
Home Loss
2009-2010
Road Win
2008-2009

2007-2008

2006-2007
Road Win
2005-2006

And if they didn't win that one...the previous time that Toronto played in Denver...was December 1997. Um, so I guess the NHL wasn't very concerned with rotating schedules back then. They also had ties, so who knows what the deal was.

To sum up, two years of season tickets would get you pretty darn close. Then you could just cherry pick the games among the remaining six or so teams that you haven't seen lose yet.
