Playoffs, Over .500, and Under .500 Streaks (Updated: April 2009)

Revs now hold 6th longest current playoff streak in American sports, Red Bulls 8th. This is the list of the USA's longest streaks among major professional sports teams (the top 4 leagues, plus MLS). Over and under .500 is considered to be when there are more/fewer wins than losses (so draws are counted as half of each), and for the NHL OT losses are counted the same as regular losses.
