1980: The Philadelphia Flyers' 35-game unbeaten streak, the longest in North American team sports history, ends when they lose 7-1 to the Minnesota North Stars at Met Center.

Philadelphia, 25-0-10 in its previous 35 games, takes a 1-0 lead on Bill Barber's goal at 3:49 of the first period. However, Minnesota scores the next seven goals, handing the Flyers their first defeat since a 9-2 loss to the Atlanta Flames in their second game of the season.

The Flyers easily had surpassed the NHL-record 28-game run set by the 1977-78 Montreal Canadiens (23 wins, five ties) and passed the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers' North American professional sports mark of 33 (all victories).
