  1. The Ref screws up doesnt make the offsides call. To the bolded point, it's not the referee but the linesman. The person whose main job it is to stand on the blue line and call the play on/off-sides. Challenging the off-sides is just beyond me and after 4 challenges go against the Sabres I'm left feeling very salty. Why can't they institute a challenge to question off-sides calls that call the play dead. If the coaches win the refs can spend 10 minutes re-positioning everyone on the ice to re-create the momentum of the rush Would we all be so upset if the dice had rolled the other way and the Sabres have been given 4 goals? Of course not, but it still ruins the game. Momentum is real and the team deflates when they lose the challenge and the opponent is essentially given a mulligan and they really tighten up after the breather. If they really care about getting the calls right they'd have an officiating team off the ice looking at everything with a microscope and be given the ability to whistle the play dead. Give them a radio headset so they can buzz the officials on the ice and say "hey, 42 white cross-checked 12 blue behind the play, issue a penalty"...there are more sensible ways to fix this than a challenge.
  2. I don't understand the logic of the NHL. As the least popular Big 4 sport, they seem to want to eliminate fighting and scoring replacing them with interference and passing? Let's get rid of the fun stuff, replace it with and then throw in challenges to kill any momentum the game has.
  3. I was having the same thought. It sucks the fun out of the game, you can't enjoy the moment because there's always the nagging suspicion in the back of your mind that's saying "is this going to be called back?"
  4. The challenge is killing the game.
  5. REINHART IS SOOOO FINE!
  6. Have the officials forgot cross-checking is a penalty?
  7. That was a long shift by O'Reilly. He is such a puck-hound.
  8. This might be a bloodbath...here's to hoping not.
  9. It's a simple answer. Ullmark goes back to Rochester where he starts almost every game. Johnson is the backup here.
  10. That'd be a day or two short of 4 full weeks so I'd call you more of a realist than a pessimist.
  11. Ullmark giving me a heart attack! Stand up! VICTORY! .500 BABY! WHOOO!!!!!
  12. I know it's early in the season but the Panthers have a 1 point lead on us in the standings. I don't want to see this game go to OT and have us win it (or lose it for that matter). Let's see a decisive finish here.
  13. Not much Ullmark could do on that.
  14. Did they announce how many dozens of people are in attendance tonight?
  15. Also the Panthers have had 3 power plays and the Sabres have none.
  16. That's interference! CHALLENGE IT! CHALLENGE IT ALL!
  17. Did Rex just throw a challenge flag to overturn the disallowed goal on the offsides challenge by the Panthers?
  18. Jesus. Such a bad rule. Let's take 5 minutes to overturn a goal and suck out all the momentum.
  19. I absolutely hate these coaches challenges.
  20. i wonder if my computer can handle streaming sabres and bills...
  21. GIONTA! I TAKE IT BACK ABOUT RATHER SEEING DES IN FOR YOU!
  22. Boo, Jagr. What a .
