Whole new team not playing dump and Chase and using their skill set to their advantage is what I saw.

About time...it took them to hit the bottom of the standings for them to realize it's not how they are going to win games??

mccabe cut below, above the eye and on the nose and he just said it was from laine hit

Watching it again on YouTube a couple times -- that hit caught McCabe off guard as well.  You could see that he realized his only chance to check Laine was right there and he even put his hands up to brace the impact.  It could have just as easily been him getting hurt there.

 

Hope Laine is OK.  He's awesome.

5 out of 6 points in 2017.  It is a Happy New Year!

 

I can see the Umberger comparisons, but the way Laine hit the ice with a thud, it reminds me more of the McCabe hit on Paille in Boston.

Reminds me of Soupy's hit on Umberger.

 

I do hope that Laine is OK, but me thinks it was a clean open ice hit.

 

McCabe is always looking for a good hit :D

that 3rd period was all our, I think the jets only had like 5 shots on goal, and most came in the last 5 minutes or so.

That McCabe or the Sabres have to defend that hit on the ice is a joke. I do not like that about the modern game. And modern might not even be the right word. When did this phenomenon of taking offense to a clean hit start?

Dont like it either.  At least the refs made the correct call.  No penalty for the hit and a roughing call (could have been instigator) for the taliation (can't call it retaliation since there was no tali in the first place).  Keep calling the penalties like that and it MAY deter this kind of stuff in the future.

That hit wasn't no picnic for McCabe either. IMG_20170107_162128.jpg

Holy jeebus crow

Man, that was fun. It's amazing how much better they look when they decide to skate. It looked like they were still digesting those late night wings in the first two periods.
