Yes. We can't make up rules that weren't there for teams that ended games with ties. Those teams would have had the opportunity to win the games in OT just like the Sabre's had. You can't just assume they wouldn't have won and still count those as "winless" just because both teams earned a point when in fact the game counts as a loss for the Sabres.

They have 17 losses. In regulation or not, the longest streak of consecutive losses in a single season is 18 by the Penguins in 2003-2004, during which they also recorded a point for an OT loss. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Hockey_League_longest_losing_streaks#Pointless_streaks

Going for the NHL record tying loss...

Staal basically said what everyone knows...playing on this team is one of the worst possible experiences ever for an NHL player and the faster they can get out of here the better.

It was nice when we actually drafted and developed well wasn't it?

This team is beyond dreadful and seems to have almost impossible bad luck with injuries and COVID on top of it since January. I say yes and they will be somewhere in the 20s before they win another game.

Need to get Darcy "fleece" Regier back as the GM...

What I wouldn't give for Darcy to still be running the show as GM here...

Caught on the hot mic discussing how he wanted to give a makeup call...NHL is investigating...but only because he was caught and they need to pretend they don't condone this sort of thing... https://www.yahoo.com/news/referee-caught-hot-mic-wanting-050657039.html

Looks like they would move Eichel if the price is right...also says Eichel wants to stay in Buffalo just doesn't want to be part of an endless rebuild that goes nowhere... https://www.yahoo.com/sports/nhl-rumors-sabres-want-4-first-round-picks-for-jack-eichel-181516797.html

Crazy to think how well run the Bills are and how crappily run the Sabres are by the same owners.

Lmao!!! Low level AHL team maybe hahaha

I am just teasing...Python is useful... You can make a killing in COBOL and almost create your own salary with how desperate a lot of companies are to find people who know COBOL since so many of the originals are retiring and tons of mainframes still use it... I worked at an insurance company and they had a whole team of COBOL devs to maintain DB2 and the mainframes... Thank goodness I worked on a project using Angular, C# and SQL Server but some of the crazy rules we had to follow when we stored stuff in DB2 were ridiculous...

Damn...that is crazy! So many games are played without any issue and then something like this happens out of nowhere...

C#? C++? Javascript? Who writes in assembly unless they are tweaking drivers or doing very low level OS stuff?

This is what I think of when I think of the losing... Python....sigh

This is getting all time ridiculous

That's rhe fvcking problem. They keep trying to get it off the ground with people who have no experience getting it off the ground. Get one of these coaches with long winning track records in here right NOW!

Apparently my buddy was telling me Boudreau was on Toronto radio a few weeks ago saying he had zero interest in the Sabres job if it became available. Can't blame him...we are like siberia now for coaches.

JFC...it took him turning this team into a flaming dumpster fire for it to happen??

I mean it's probably true. Look at how great Vegas did their first year.

No end in sight. Meanwhile Las Vegas made it to the cup final in their first year of existence with players nobody wanted and has made the playoffs every year since. What a joke.

Losers of 11 straight...back to back shutouts for at least the 2nd time this year. No energy. No passion. No answers. No nothing. This coach needs to go ASAP. I don't care they believe you can't win by constantly firing coaches. You also can't win when the coach sucks ass. Get Boudreau here now!

Bills ended up with 15 wins including the playoffs... Do you take the over or under on if the Sabres get more wins than the Bills did when the season finishes?

They play as good as they can play...get outshot badly and still lose in a shootout...SMFH
