seriously? you don't touch refs, you don't ever touch a ref, there's no reason to touch a ref
don't like the precedent this sets, organization should take the reigns on this and suspend him for tonight's game
So then why are you accusing others of having an "agenda" in the same manner? People thinking that what Ennis did was stupid is not an "agenda". This word gets brutalized around here.
That could be said for certain other players aswellThere are quite few people around here that criticize this player no matter what he does.

Yep.
Not really.
Ennis & Hodgson take the brunt of the criticism, routinely bashed not only for their own weaknesses and bad plays, but for the state of things generally. Not much quarter given for influencing factors of course.
Comparably, the poor play of guys like Moulson and Gionta is routinely shrugged off, while the Stewarts and Staffords are mainly subjected to no more than an occasional one-liner diss in the GDT. Same with the entire bottom six, as it seems they at least "try hard"
so what you're saying is 2 guys with longer contracts catch more fan heat then 2 guys relatively new to the Sabres roster and 2 guys who wont be part of the Sabres roster much longer? interesting
Um, no. That's actually not what I said.
But no worries, I'm used to you manufacturing cause to diss whatever comment I post. To each according to his nature I guess.
It doesnt take much manufacturing to find faults in your ideas

You want to find fault with the ideas/opinions themselves, go for it, open season, have a convo or not, etc. For my own part I'd even be keen to hear/read your countering ideas/opinions (you've had some in other threads, after all). But please lay off the unnecessary personalized put downs. Seriously.

Says the guy who wrote how all the mean knowledgeable people should get NHL jobs if there so smart... that doesn't sound personal at all.
Mister pot your good friend mister kettle is calling.
I did find a fault in your opinion, you chose to ignore it, stafford and Stewart are gone soon, people aren't invested in those players, most people think Gionta isn't a very good hockey player at this point in his career and he hasn't been around long enough to really be under people's skin, and Moulson is getting a free pass ATM but I'd guess he's still on his grace period like Gionta
People round here have been ******** on Stafford since he signed his last contract, it got so bad for a while there was a "it's hip to hate stafford" thread. But Ennis and Hodgson are the faces of this stink hole with Vanek and Miller gone. They're going to shoulder the brunt if this for the foreseeable future.
Not agreeing is different than ignoring. And sometimes there's a diff between something that is and something that ought to be.
For example, while I don't disagree that Ennis/Hodgson "are going to shoulder the brunt of this...", I'm not of the take that they should be subject to the wholesale bashing without the caveat that they're working with the likes of Stafford, Stewart, Gionta, and Moulson.
I'm not blind to the weaknesses/crap play of either Ennis/Hodgson, but I'm also not blind to what they do - and can - bring to the table. To my mind, anyway, they are $4.x mil complimentary top 6/9 pieces (depending on the make-up of the team) who are subjected to unwarranted criticism for failing to be $6.x mil+ guys who are able to carry the dead weight on their line - and the team in general.
Feel fairly certain that if any other Sabres had done the same thing as Ennis we still would have had this thread with the same opinions. No bias towards or against Ennis here.
A suspension isn't needed, but why are you even thinking about touching officials.
