As of 2021, there has not been an instance where a team has achieved a 4–0 series sweep in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1998; as a result, the NHL has gone 22 seasons (or 23 years) without a sweep in the finals, making it the longest active drought in the history of the major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada. Rugby The term whitewash is also used in rugby when one team loses every match in a particular series. The team that comes last in the Six Nations Championship (where a sweep over the others is referred to as the Grand Slam) has the ignominy of being awarded the wooden spoon, even if they have not suffered a complete whitewash. Snooker Whitewash is a term used in snooker when a player wins a match without losing a single frame. Only three whitewashes have been recorded in the final of snooker ranking tournaments; in the 1989 Grand Prix, the 2020 European Masters, and the 2022 German Masters. There was also a whitewash in the 1988 Masters final, when Steve Davis beat Mike Hallett 9–0. Tennis In ATP and WTA tennis, the term whitewash is used when a player fails to win a game in a match (6–0, 6–0, 6–0; or 6–0, 6–0), also called a triple- or double-bagel respectively. Double bagels are more common. See also Podium sweep Shutout References Sports terminology Terminology used in multiple sports Perfect scores in sports
