GDT: Sabres host the Wild, 7EDT TV: MSG, ESPN+ Radio: WGR

Savoie is now benched, apparently

Of Course, thats the way Granato coaches. Bench young guys instead of letting them play but keep gifting Okposo shifts.

 

[stokes84]

These refs are something else

 

[Chainshot]

Yet THAT wasn't a penalty... love you Wes.

 

[jc17]

Tage 100% should have just tripped over that sliding Wild player.

Well Kyle did and it still didnt work

 

[Mattilaus]

If he's within stick length its fair game since when did this magically change. It was totally fair that Bogosian held him down in a damn headlock though?

I hav never heard of this stick length rule, but you aren't allowed to impede a player who doesn't have the puck.

(a) A minor penalty shall be assessed for interference. This includes the following actions which shall be penalized under this rule:
(1) Providing a protective screen and limiting the opportunity for an opposing player to apply pressure to a teammate in possession or control of the puck.
(2) Making no attempt to play the puck while facing-off and instead plays the body of the opponent.
(3) An attacking player who no longer has possession or control of the puck initiates contact with the defending player in an effort to obstruct their ability to play the puck or an opponent

Not saying bogo shodn't have also got one, but what Greenway did is a penalty

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Call the blatant tripping you f***ing hacks

 

[oldgoalie]

No trip call? I’m shocked.

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Lmfao. Wth Refs?Burn .

 

[DapperCam]

Is there a more textbook trip than that, lol

 

[jc17]

Of Course, thats the way Granato coaches. Bench young guys instead of letting them play.

I mean he had Johnson protecting a 1 goal lead game 1

 

[Dirty Dog]

Yet THAT wasn't a penalty... love you Wes.

FivE FOr FigHTiNG

 

[slip]

Dumb penalty by Greenway

He should have just cross checked him 4 times in a row instead.

 

[Snippit]

Ryan Johnson is not going anywhere btw if he maintains near this level of play.

 

[old kummelweck]

Pass through Clifton. Bleh.

Positionally, he was where they have been coaching that PK to play.

 

[Ehran]

Of Course, thats the way Granato coaches. Bench young guys instead of letting them play.

It's weird. All we've heard for the past few seasons is "let the kids play" and "it's development time".

But.... suddenly the kids are being called up and sitting on the bench almost all the time.

 

[Chainshot]

Did a Wild player just get high-sticked by another Wild player?

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Savoie is now benched, apparently

Of Course, thats the way Granato coaches. Bench young guys instead of letting them play.

It's a 1 goal game. It's Savoie's 1st game. he's obviously not had a chance to demonstrate that he can perform his defensive assignments... or even understands them.

I'd sit him too.....

 

[toddkaz]

The trip was so bad the Minnesota player's stick went flying

 

[Chainshot]

Moose, knock it off.

 

[SharkInABoloTie]

Someone needs to hurt foligno

 

[SwordsgoneWild]

Mitts continues his great play.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Oh look the refs lost their whistles

 

[lecherous]

These guys suck so bad they swallowed their whistles, unfortunate

 

[toddkaz]

It's a 1 goal game. It's Savoie's 1st game. he's obviously not had a chance to demonstrate that he can perform his defensive assignments... or even understands them.

I'd sit him too.....

It wasn't 1 goal game when he was benched though was it.

Savoie has 4 minutes of ice time.

Cool so 99% of hockey plays are penalties got it.
