Thompson must be strangling his stick tonight

I've seen it before once or twice but it was far more direct situations. One of them was a two on one in a game where #2 guy high sticked the defenseman as he got to the net and cut the guy as the goal was scored. Refs didn't see it, but a linesman saw the stick get high. In this case the high stick really wasn't an egregious slashing of the face, honestly I'm confused as to how it drew blood to begin with, and wasn't integral to the goal being scored. Couple that with at least two non-calls on that 4 minute PK with one involving Toronto tripping Malenstyn thus directly leading to the 2-0 goal is outright lunacy.

He went on a tirade about a number of topics right after he posted this.

Thing is the ref didn't see it and Tanev didn't stop playing.

Well it is and it isn't. What matters is who would be getting the goal. Honestly I really hope Ovi's record breaking goal is called back

Like honestly, this team sucks; and need help seriously but even moments of brightness seem to get smothered immediately by either the league or the team itself.

It's maddening to me how no matter if its the Sabres or the Bills; Buffalo will always get screwed by the refs in any call that has even an inch of wiggle room. Guy hits UPL's glove thus literally preventing a save, that's fine; but our guy touching his skate or stick and its obviously goalie interference regardless of the chance the goalie even had at making the save. It's always ruled "logically" when the result hurts us and when it helps us, well we need to rule by the letter. It's absolutely mind numbing how often it happens.

Absolute BS; I'm sick of this league endlessly ***** us every single time. Either we suck or they shaft us; we never and I mean never get any benefits from this piss poor excuse for a Major Sport

Players stay in Juniors for 1 reason primarily, to learn a 200ft game. Benson already knew how to play a 200ft game. He needed a year or two in Rochester so that he could compete with harder competition and not get over-confident dominating peers.

BS call

He would gain nothing but bad habits staying in Juniors

Zach Benson should sue the NHL/WHL for the rule that prevents him from going to Rochester

Good God, can we keep anyone whos good!?!

I think Lehner has gone nuts 😞

Oh ***** you Tanev
