DLD: Sabres Record Could be Broken

by David Oleksy on Nov 16, 2009 6:00 AM EST

The Buffalo Sabres hold the NHL record for consecutive road wins to start a season with 10. It was set by the 2006-2007 team that eventually won the Presidents Trophy. The New Jersey Devils are 9-0 in road games this season as they head into Philadelphia to take on the Flyers.

Is this a record we want to keep? Should we be rooting against the Devils tonight? It seems like a pretty strange record because the wins are not consecutive. There are home games played in between. I personally could care less if they break the record or not.

Logic and Netting: An idea for video replay | Hockey Independent
A look at logic and video replay in the NHL. I personally find the logic to be flawed. The netting that protects the crowd is thin and pulled tight. If used on the net it would make the netting easy to cut with a skate and would have to much bounce for a hard slap shot. The netting is fine the way it is.

I agree that it’s not the most meaningful record in the world, but it’s still kind of cool to have your team associated with something positive like that. I think the Sabres did their part to preserve it too; I doubt the Flyers are keen to lose two in a row at home.
