meazza Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 By that logic, Atlanta shouldn't play another game, they'll lose to everyone in the NHL 818198[/snapback] Atlanta is a great team. They lost one game so far. Definitely should be a good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 By that logic, Atlanta shouldn't play another game, they'll lose to everyone in the NHL. Nope. Just that playing 3, much less 4, road games within the space of 6 days is a tall order for any team. The Sabres have more talent, have played just 2 relatively easy road games in that same timeperiod, and will be at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 They've already tied the record. I'm saying to leave no doubt, they should win another 4 games at least until we start saying it's the best start ever. 818197[/snapback] Sorry, meant to say break.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sorry, meant to say break. NP. I'm loving the 10-0 start no matter HOW they got the wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 To tell you the trouth, I don't give a crap about the record. All I care about is enjoying this season watching (ok listening to, haven't had a chance to watch a game yet) this fun and exciting team and hoping it ends in them hoisting a Cup O' Slugs.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yep. It's a grind going on a 4-game road trip, and add to that the deflation of losing to the worst team in the league, it will be a monumental task to go INTO the arena of the best team in the league, who hasn't taken a night off yet (well, at least against top-caliber competition), and win. But that's why they play the game. I just don't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt be suprised to see a 2-3 goal victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but the slug just isn't growing on me at all. Not even the winning streak can help. Those unis are just plain awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What's the record for most consecutive wins in the NHL? I know the Islanders had 15 in a row in the early 80s, but I think someone else might have broken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Technically, the 3 shootout wins, in the old rule system, would've been ties. Apparently the Leafs in '93 won 9 games in regulation and one in OT I belive. That's what he's alluding to. Either way, this team is amazing. 818176[/snapback] Here's the problem with that. The Sabres are playing the games under the current rules. Had it been under the old rules where they would have ended the game in a tie perhaps they would have fought a little harder to get that last goal. But because that leads to the world of make believe. You can't punish the Sabres for the fact that the NHL has devised a new way to win games. What's the record for most consecutive wins in the NHL? I know the Islanders had 15 in a row in the early 80s, but I think someone else might have broken it. 818356[/snapback] The Penguins in 92-93 had 17 in a row.

30dive Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 This question of whether the shootout should count as a win is ABSURD.........If I'm not mistaken, losing is a possibilty in the shootout.....isn't it? For what its worth I would love to see the Sabres 18 games (shootouts count) and break the Dolphins record. Thennnn we'll see what John Clayton has to say about Buffalo!!
