Will there be a new record and 10+ defeats in a row?

[Berg]

Constant pruning in defense and one-on-one exits with goalkeepers, to be honest, pretty tired.

We miss and lose due to constant errors and sleepy defense. Why do other teams cope with this, and we constantly let the opponent play as he wants ... Maybe we should take everyone to church?

How about behind the woodshed.

What's the record stand at now?

And I say ya, sure, why not, this roster can break that record.

[Believer]

Voted No… but extremely tough schedule this week

Aren't you asking two separate questions, framed as one? The record isn't 10, is it?

I think the official NHL records don’t consider OT losses as true losses, because why would they do anything that makes sense?

So, 10 might be the record for consecutive losses in regulation.

[Refuting]

I mean they theoretically could lose every remaining game left. I just hope they're not worse than last year. That would add even more disappointment

Sabres already hold the record (tied with Penguins) @ 18 games. 

If there's an NHL loser record for any category, we probably have it.

[Berg]

According to https://www.google.com/amp/s/theathletic.com/3914218/2022/11/20/sabres-losing-streak-offseason-choices/%3famp=1 

"History isn’t kind to teams who go this long without a point. Since 2000, 26 teams have had a streak of at least eight consecutive regulation losses. Of those, 17 finished the season last or second to last in the NHL standings. Of those 26 teams, zero made the playoffs, and the 2018-19 Blackhawks had the best finish at 18th in the NHL."

It’s a mute point. This season, as far as playoffs, is over. You only hope there can be found progress. But even that is looking like a unlikelihood. The management decisions in the off-season were ultra conservative and baffling. I think he was really sold on Granato supposed development skills and his positivity. That too is looking erroneous as Granato looks lost at this point just like RK.

Maybe church is a euphemism for Canada for a few pops.
