They now have 62 points. 4OT/SOL is equal to 4 points. Or two wins. 2 losses when reducing the overall record down to just wins/losses. Do you believe 2+2=5? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said their record is: 29-32. They don't have 32 losses. They have 28. OT/SOL are not regulation losses. YET, OT/SO WINS go in win column. Like our benevolent Canadian lover noted. Nice Canadian math. 3 point games, not 2. So, when determining a pure win/loss record, one would think the 4 points would be split. Which... Keep the equation balanced with 62 points. The fair thing to do is call it 31-30. A winning record. And anyway... 29-28-4 IS a winning record! 😆🤣 Edited March 3 by ExiledInIllinois 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing at .508 Canadian math does. 29-28-4 = 62 points I looked it up, the Sabres are 4-0-4 in OT this year so…. Sabres opponents record is 32-25-4 = 68 points We have earned 62 points and our opponents have earned 68. How is that .500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing at .508 No, Doc is correct, 29-32 is a losing record. There aren't any actual tie's in hockey. Loser points aren't half a win they are just a token point to make losing fans feel better about losing late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
