The New York Jets now stand alone.
The Buffalo Sabres have ended their 14-year playoff drought in the NHL. On Saturday, April 4, Buffalo clinched a berth when the New York Rangers beat the Detroit Red Wings.
That ends one of the longest active playoff droughts in North American major sports. Which now leaves the Jets as the active playoff drought leader on the continent.
The green and white haven’t made the playoffs since the 2010 season. They have missed the postseason for 15 consecutive years, which is not only the longest active drought in North American sports, but it is also the longest futility mark in franchise history.
Top Social Media Reactions to a New Low for the Jets
ESPN radio host Jake Asman posted, “One day the Jets will end their playoff drought, and we all will feel like this. Good for the Sabres.”
“For eight to nine months per year, the New York Jets and Buffalo Sabres shared the ignominious title of ‘longest active playoff drought in North American sports.’ No longer are they linked in infamy, as the Sabres clinched a playoff berth Saturday to snap their 14-year postseason drought — the longest in NHL history — with six games to spare. The Jets are still going, at 15 years,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini explained.
“And with the Buffalo Sabres clinching a playoff spot for the first time since I was a fourth grader, the New York Jets stand alone as the professional sports with the longest active playoff drought. My sincere condolences to Jets fans,” a fan responded on X.
This is a developing story and we’ll provide new details as they become available.
