Clown show. I’m not a ‘blame the ref’ guy but tonight was gross.
If the league had any credibility that entire crew would be fined and suspended for such unprofessional bullshit.Clown show. I’m not a ‘blame the ref’ guy but tonight was gross.
Especially the UGLY!The Good:
Benson-Mittelstadt-Greenway again. That Greenway pass was great stuff, his pressure lead to Mitts goal.
The top line offensively all over the Rangers.
Quinn finishing.
Luukkonnen from about the middle of the game on made some excellent stops.
EJ standing up for RJ.
Shot mentality? Nah, shot block mentality.
The Bad:
Defending on odd-man rushes remains a weakness.
Seeing-eye pucks for 2GA.
Quinn's stick loss on the GWGA set the table there.
The Ugly:
NHL level officiating remains a massive, stinking turd.
Especially the UGLY!
I've been wondering... maybe it's always been this bad???? Like we are able to see so many games these days where as 30 years ago you got to attend and watch your home team on a tiny 19"SDTV?
I mean..... there are 2 refs on the ice now and they stink it up worse than a solitary one did in the past.
Wally Harris is still a bum but hell, I liked it better when ref's had a known personality and approach to calling the game......
Greenway is a low-key stud. Superb fit with Mitts and Benson.Greenway made some big boy plays tonight, he just brings a different dimension to the team
Samuelsson and Clifton worked their asses off blocking shots on those PKs
I actually agree but I've been asking myself why it's turned into such a shit show. Thursday night's game between the Avs and the Sens was also a garbage fest. Neither team could figure out what game the ref's were calling....(In truth, one ref wasn't calling the game at all...)I used to watch both HNiC games every week, had the Leafs on CHCH/Global, and the Habs/Nords in SCR on channel 25 out of Toronto along with the Sabres. This shit is the worst I have ever seen it. I've also had the NHL package (mostly) for about 10 years since originally going mobile and it's ridiculous how inept they are now.

The League has video replay, instantaneous League review from Toronto, a never ending "refinement" of the rules, 2 referees on the ice, and supposedly game managers who review the officials performance. But it's worse than ever and lacking insight, consistency and wisdom when applying the rules across the officiating cadre. Game in and game out.
Yep. Lots of chances all around. Check out this map - so many chances in tight. One of their best games in that respect.Felt like the top line did a lot offensively but couldn't get the goal. It would've been great, though if they can play like they did tonight against others, the goals will come. They had a pile of chances.
Seriously?They lost again.
Show me something, Anything.
And?
When you are playing 3 on 3 its pretty hard to blame, there is just too much ice out there. The sabres played well and think its best to be positive when they play well. I saw the photo on twitter and posted it. Its a great photo if you are an unbiased hockey fan.And?
Bad UPL? Bad Dahlin? Both?
I forget who that was just in the frame. I remember Tage outside of the frame, and being his usual inconsequential self inside our blueline.
It was great getting the point tonight. Pissing on any single player for the loss misses the point.
at least he would have been in front of the f***ing goal!Think UPL getting too much hate on the OT goal.
If he doesn't come out ..Zibby has a straight line to the goal
