GAME DISCUSSION THREAD

If a player has possession of the puck, he can't put himself offside:

 

Rule 83 - Off-side

 

83.1 Off-side - Players of the attacking team must not precede the puck into the attacking zone.

 

The position of the player’s skates and not that of his stick shall be the determining factor in all instances in deciding an off-side. A player is off-side when both skates are completely over the leadingedge of the blue line involved in the play.

 

A player is on-side when either of his skates are in contact with, or on his own side of the line, at the instant the puck completely crosses the leadingedge of the blueline regardless of the position of his stick. However, a player actually controlling the puck who shall cross the line ahead of the puck shall not be considered “off-side,” provided he had possession and control of the puck prior to his skates crossing the blue line.

 

It should be noted that while the position of the player’s skates is what determines whether a player is “off-side,” nevertheless the question of an “off-side” never arises until the puck has completely crossed the leading edge of the blueline at which time the decision is to be made.

 

If a player legally carries or passes the puck back into his own defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in such defending zone, the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.

Sorry, hadn't read this yet.

That looked like a bogus interference call!

 

You, of all people?

[ROC Sabres]

I'll say it right now. If Buffalo scores first in the 3rd, this game still goes to OT.

 

Go ahead Sabres, make me eat my words!!! :censored: :wallbash:

[Armydoogie]

I know a lot won't agree with this, but Buffalo played a decent road period. The PP, well, you know, but they had their chances.

 

+1 (though, technically, they played TWO good road periods, thus tied scored 1-1)

[Realist]

This is playoff hockey? Their playing like its October. This is pathetic, I sat there just hoping they would get through the period without giving up a goal. I guess it was a successful 20 minutes. Now I have to go through another entire period of the same thing just to hope we can get a goal like last night to win in OT.

It's Toni Lydman time..

If you're team looks like this in the playoffs, the coach should get fired.

 

Just brutal.

[TheMatrix31]

Don't agree that it was all that good of a period. Good maybe in terms of "we were being absolutely dominated and the game is still tied".

 

What do I know?

[RicFlair]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

[Armydoogie]

I know it sounds crazy, but the Sabres should try putting ice skates on this period. It might help them go faster.

 

+1 This is my favorite "bash on the Sabres' play" quote about this game, so far. :thumbsup:

[kishoph]

It's a sad state when MIKE GRIER is your offense and TIMMY KENNEDY is your hitter. There's a lot of people that need to step up.

[SabresRepublic]

You, of all people?

 

Milbury's sidekicks said Sekera got a penalty for being stronger as they questioned the call!

[Healthy Scratch]

Have to believe Buffalo is the "fresher" team going into the third since we haven't skated at all during the first two periods.

[Armydoogie]

Hi all! Back again from Iraq! Getting all of 2 hours' sleep and getting up at 2am to watch this on Versus on AFN (American Forces Network) TV. LET'S GO BUFF-A-LO!!! Feeling a weird one tonight, like Mair scores 2 in the win, or something like that. :pirate:

 

I look forward to reading everyone's comments during the game!

 

Maybe I meant Grier. *shrug*

 

Sabres ride Miller to the win 2-1 in regulation.

 

(please, please, please?) :unsure:

 

LET'S GO BUFF-A-LO!!!

[Foot In The Crease!]

I feel something coming from Lydman......

[TheMatrix31]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

Easily the best first post of all-time.

Just trying to pass the time until the Sabres go out and win this period.

[wjag]

Folks, score tied, SOG 20-21, Faceoffs, 20-19, no PPG for either team.

 

And their on the road without two forwards... Sheessshh

The rope-a-dope eh? Genius move by Lindy.

[Crestwood]

Chara is just a giant diva out there.

This ain't no garden party, brother, this is hockey, where only the strongest survive. Lets go Buffalo!!!

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Just brutal.

You are always looking for a reason to shed Lindy

[ROC Sabres]

Can someone please take Chara's confidence and get a suspension by just, I dunno, CRACKING A F*UCKING STICK ACROSS HIS PU55Y CAGE!!!

Sorry, this is the playoffs, you don't play just to survive on the road. They need to step up and take this thing. They're just trying to get to OT.
