ExiledInIllinois Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 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.The Penguins in 92-93 had 17 in a row. 818358[/snapback] Everybody should just settle down... It is a long, LONG season... Streak, Long Way To Go... But the worst outcome after a fast start belongs to the 1986-87 Pittsburgh Penguins, who started the season with seven-straight wins -- but didn't even make the playoffs.

Alaska Darin Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 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. 818201[/snapback] Meaningless.

daquixers_is_back Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Meaningless. 819082[/snapback] huh? explain why you say its meaningless ... when your a team who has played a hard stretch of games (one losing to a much inferior team), and your playing the best team in the NHL at home, I wouldnt dare call that meaningless.

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Who won the game? 819394[/snapback] See Darin... I do agree with you... The guys above need to read more carefully and understand what you were calling "meaningless". It was meaningless... The fact the Atlanta did win albeit a SO... Even after having a tough road stint... Meaningless: Nope. Just that playing 3, much less 4, road games within the space of 6 days is a tall order for any team.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Talk about disappointing. Not so much losing the streak, but losing period given the advantages. I was just beginning to believe that this was a team for the ages. But such is the life of a Buffalo fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know Atlanta would have beat us 7-4 if they werent on that long road stretch. We just dont know, so you cant call it meaningless.

God you guys are defensive... THE GAME/POINT IS NOT MEANINGLESS... Darin's reply to the post about Atlanta coming off the tough stretch... That IS meaningless...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Thanks for the view from Illinois. As d_i_b said, given the advantages the Sabres had, they probably would have lost bad to the Thrashers had the roles been reversed, and that's what's so disappointing.

Buftex Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Just got done watching the game. Sure, it is a little disappointing to lose, but all in all, a good effort, aganist a pretty damn good team. After the first period, Mike Robatille was talking about how the Sabres had just played their best first period of the season. I wondered if he was wathching the same game as me. Leave it to Jim Lorentz (the Chris Collinsworth of NHL analysts!), just prior to the second, to see things a little more realistically. I couldn't help, at least in the first period, the Sabres, as well as they played, were a little tight, and maybe a little nervous. The record was meaningless anyways. Seeing as to the slow starts the Sabres normally get off to, coming out the first month of the season with 21 of a possible 22 points is still an incredible feat...nicely done boys!

Any guesses to how many points will win the East this season? I'll go with 112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Sabres win last night 5-0 if Vanek buries his early chance with an open net. Maybe the Sabres win the shootout last night if Vanek's shoot-out shot went into the net after hitting the crossbar. I'm not picking on Vanek (thought he played great last night) but the game was pretty close and could have gone either way with a bounce here or there.

MadBuffaloDisease Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 If the Sabres were indeed "tight" because of the chance to break the record, that's a reasonable excuse. I guess we'll see now that the pressure's off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
