The Sabres’ 9-1 victory of the Flyers tonight makes their 6-0 season start the best since 1975. They share undefeated status with Minnesota and Dallas, and according to the announcers on VS, this is the second time in NHL history that three teams have kicked off the season with at least 5-0 records.
I’m trying to watch as many games as I can, and I’ve caught at least a bit of four of them now, I think. I don’t know how long Buffalo can sustain this winning streak, but they sure look good right now. I’m glad Aaron gave me a scoring update so I could turn this game on before it ended … but he told me it was 6-0 and five minutes later when we tuned it, it was 9-1. Wow.
