  1. Upon further review, it's hard to tell how long the respective reviews took. The goal review was a little under a minute, but was probably longer because the ref was talking to the situation room about the offside. Cameras didn't catch when the linesmen put on their headsets, so you can't time it. It was still a quick review. Speaking of the linesmen... what role do they play? They're looking at a smallish tablet. But we were told Toronto made the call?
  2. For this take to have more weight, I'd have to go back and see how long the Milano and offside reviews took. It's my impression that the Milano review was quite quick, and although the offside review took longer, it took considerably less time than the original review — whether a puck that clearly landed in the top of the net should result in a good goal. The take — reviews that could cost the lowly Buffalo Sabres a point or two were not given the time they deserved; they were given considerably less time than a review that could cost a good team (read: a team having a good season; I don't buy MFT nonsense) a game or a review that could cost a team a Cup. IMHO that's the heart of the bias problem. The same review in all three scenarios should take the same time.
  3. OK, and the original spot? When I watched the play live, it seemed clear the runner was held short. The official at the top of the screen running down the yard line where the ball was ultimately placed — that looked absolutely bizarre to me. Maybe we'll agree it was a bad spot, and the replay wasn't clear enough to overturn it. Either way...
  4. The nature of a fan is to believe that or want to believe it. IMHO the nature of the same fan on a fan forum should be to question it from every angle.
  5. Mine was delicious, but I gotta up my aesthetics. Let's see what d4rk brings.
  6. Yep. Got it. I had to rewatch it. I just noticed only four Sabres were attacking on that play. Pysyk had gone to the bench and Jokiharju was very late getting into the play.
  7. You know I'm not a ref basher or even a Bills fans anymore. I thought the review on the third and short run showed the ball a half a yard short. What did you see?
  8. You lost me.
  9. Hot damn. The one time I did LSD, that's what the sky looked like.
  10. The Bills got robbed on that review. Theme of the week. I've never been closer to the SwampD camp.
  11. Yes?
  12. I know nothing, but this seems like a situation where a coach has taken a team as far as he's going to take it.
  13. h/t to @SABRESfan from the Caps GDT. Mine is in the oven right now. Unlike the great Phat Pannie debacle of several years ago, the smoke detector is not yet going off. It's an interesting twist on American apple pie. 1. You bake it in a rectangular baking dish. 2. The apples are boiled cooked on the stove with sugar and cinnamon before going in the dish. 3. The crust is a shortbread with two sticks of butter, vanilla extract, confectioners sugar, eggs and flour. 4. It's easier to put together since there's no painstaking rolling out and fluting the crust and all that Martha Stewart crap. 5. You prebake the bottom layer, add your cooked apples and put the other half of the crust on top. Pics to come. Here's the recipe I used: https://www.polonist.com/szarlotka-polish-apple-pie/&ved=2ahUKEwjF27KetN_0AhWcgnIEHUjcBv0QFnoECAoQAg&usg=AOvVaw09ORr46c8TUxmlqysJyAj5 Your turn!
  14. I'm glad I don't have room for this kind of hatred in my life.
  15. Still 10. Boston jumped past Detroyit.
  16. It was set up earlier. You need to pay closer attention. I guess you'll never know why inkman was on ganni's lap.
  17. I think I could have bunted that one home.
  18. What did we ever do to deserve this.
  19. Dan's full of a little piss and vinegar tonight.
  20. Well earned point.
  21. If Uuuuuuko! Uuuuuuko! isn't a chant in that arena eventually, Buffalo should lose the team.
