This is officially a great start. 4 games, 4 wins. One was against the lowly Islanders but the other three were against very tough teams. Montreal, NY and Vancouver tonight.

Thomas Vanek is off to a red hot start with 6 goals now in his first four games and Ales Kotalik had a two goal night to help Buffalo to a win over a tough Vancouver team.

That win puts us in 1st place in the Northeast and only one of three undefeated teams in the NHL. I would say that Montreal was in the undefeated category but they have what they call an overtime loss.

I may be rehashing an old argument from last year, but an overtime loss, is a loss and it just so happened to come against the Buffalo Sabres, who recieved a win. Last year we debated a little whether an overtime loss was an official loss, if it wasn't it wouldn't have the L in the OTL which stands for loss.

So, to get back on track there are three undefeated teams in the NHL, Montreal is not one of them. After tonight, there may only be two. San Jose is playing Anaheim.
