Giving You More Than Just My Two Cents
Thank You Sabres For Ending That 10 Game LOSING STREAK!
The 10 game LOSING STREAK is over. 10 losses in a row ended with 10 goals, how sweet it is. As the goals piled up last night I tried to remember the double digit goal games Buffalo has had in the past. I remember the one they had against the Kings in 2006 and I also remember as clearly as yesterday the 14-4 game against the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1980. Otherwise, how many 10+ goal games have they had?
I tried to look it up but there are no sites that give that particular stat. I haven't seen the Buffalo News this morning so maybe they will have those numbers in the paper.
Anyway, they played a tired Atlanta team and tonight they play the Leafs. The 10 was nice, but save some for the 7 game road trip that starts tonight.
It was nice to see Derek Roy back. Go figure a center that can actually score. I was getting a little uneasy seeing Adam Mair as the number 1 center.
It was a "WINLESS" streak.......There old streak still satnds as their longest losing streak.
A "winless" streak in which they lost every game.
.....Sounds like a losing streak to me.
If the score was tied at the end of any of those games, I would agree with you...but it wasn't. There was a clear cut winner, one team won at the end of all ten. The only thing separating those overtime games from a loss (which the terminology certainly suggests they lost i.e. overtime LOSS, Shootout LOSS) is the pity point, thats it. Other than that, all ten were LOSSES wether it was in Overtime, the shootout or regulation they were all LOSSES. If you have more than two LOSSES in a row regardless of the adjective in front of the word LOSS, its still a LOSS. The team that WINS in overtime doesn't get an Overtime WIN or a Shootout WIN, They get a WIN.
