daquixers_is_back Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 The Sabres do not have a loss in the official (historical) loss column... Right now they are 10-0-1... Before shootouts... That one would have been a tie... Now stands as an OT/SO loss... Which really isn't a regulation loss or a true loss. ...Ahhh who cares, I am just trying to split hairs... 820823[/snapback] I noticed that on the standings but couldnt figure it out ...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You know you're having a bad day when the Riddler is explaining stuff AND you understand it. 820853[/snapback] I think the streak should still stand... Buffalo is still technically undefeated because the SO loss is not recorded in the "official" loss column. I think somebody posted it at Sabrespace... The Maple Leafs should have an * next to their name... I agree, but somethings would have to happen first... Here they are: 1. Bufalo doesn't get an "official" 1 in the main loss column before you subtract SO wins from the total wins in the "official" win column. I don't see why they don't give you a win/loss and a tie like they did in the old days... You win a game in reg or OT, you get a W... You lose in reg or OT, you get a L... You force a game to a shoot out and the losing team gets a T the winning team would get the 2 points in another (fourth column) for SO wins. This seems more organized and the SO win wouldn't effect things historically and the mess that surrounded the Sabres current streak. I love the SO... Yet, it annoys me that basically a crapshoot gets you a W in the official W column. It is basically HARDER to continue a streak when these (current SO rules) are in place. I don't know why the Maple Leafs see it as a benefit? Even at the worst throw SO's out the window and what is Buffalo now 8-0? But... I am rambling again...
