WordsOfWisdom Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 With their loss tonight, the Sabres have lost 18 straight games, tying Pittsburgh for #1 all time! 18 games! The Pittsburgh Penguins hold the record for the longest losing streak in NHL history at 18 games, which was set in the 2003–04 season; that team finished last in the NHL with a 23–47–8–4 record (58 points). From Wikipedia One more loss and the Sabres have the top spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really have to get better at this... The Flyers have given them points TWICE during this losing streak. No other team has given up 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit that this season I really haven't been following the other teams much. The divisional isolation has shifted my focus almost entirely to the North division. I look at the standings overall and check how other teams are doing, but I haven't been watching any of the other teams closely. If it makes you feel any better, that would normally be "Toronto's spot". The Leafs would be the slump buster team for the Sabres. They're normally in our division and they normally dominate the Leafs. So you've kind of taken our place this season. At least you won the game.

lynxrattle Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Is it too early to congratulate the Sabres yet? They are number one in lost games, after all. Even if it's a shared accomplishment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's a shared accomplishment. Perhaps a TAD too early. I think being alone in #1 is the real milestone. Right now it's a shared record, and records aren't meant to be shared lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WordsOfWisdom Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Why doesn't someone add Steve Dangle to the Twitter feed for this forum? He tears into the Leafs in legendary fashion on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of an accomplishment really. The Leafs haven't won a playoff round in 20 years. Of course, they spent 15 of those 20 years not even making the playoffs. I think I posted the roster of the last Leafs team to see playoff action past round one. Names like: Mats Sundin Alexander Mogilny Gary Roberts Joe Nieuwendyk Ed Belfour Brian Leetch Bryan McCabe etc....... Pat Quinn was the head coach.

The only other teams that might come close are: Phoenix Coyotes Winnipeg Jets Florida Panthers I'm not sure how long those teams have gone without winning a playoff round but it's probably comparable to Toronto.

Math Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Last Time the Leafs won a play-off round: 2004 (4-3 vs. Ottawa). Only the Panthers are worse (1996, the year they went to the SCF. Yeah, they didn't win a single round since then) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Wikipedia One more loss and the Sabres have the top spot! Yeah but the Sabres have actual NHL players. Dick Tarnstrom led the Pens that year with....52 points. Dick. Tarnstrom. Career high for him BTW! Of course, he was a -37, too. Rico Fata...a stellar -46. Wait for it....John Sim played 15 games for the Pens that year. He even had a GWG! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you delete the arena from the equation, TOR > NYR. As for Buffalo, in addition to their recent losing streak, I noticed that the Buffalo Sabres have NEVER won a Stanley Cup! So that's a wonderful streak the Sabres still have going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
