I figured out why the offense looks good: 4/5 of these goals have been absolute crap :lol:

 

:w00t:  That one had me rolling!

 

 

So no goal and no penalty.  What a joke! 

 

And now Buffalo is on the PK?!   :censored:

Sadly the correct call.

 

No, the correct call was a hook on Floriduh, but they didn't call it.

My wife just laughed at Rob Ray's use of "atoll"

 

"Mr. Ray, please use that in a sentence."

 

"That wasn't a very big Bikini Atoll."

Rob singing off key: "Itsy bitsy teeny weeney yellow pooka dot bikini" 

 

But rob the word was "atoll"

 

Oops

The Empire State Building is atoll building.

Heh. Anyone feel like doing some legwork? I'm legitimately curious how often the team with the best PP in the league misses the playoffs. Seems like it'd be a rare thing, but I honestly don't know.

Since the lockout, a few. Side note: the Sabres currently have the sixth best power play of any team since the lockout and damn near the best home power play over that span.

 

05-06 Detroit

 

06-07 Montreal

 

07-08 Montreal

 

08-09 Detroit

 

09-10 Washington

 

10-11 Vancouver

 

11-12 San Jose

 

12-13 Washington

 

13-14 Pittsburgh/Washington

 

14-15 Washington

 

15-16 Chicago

 

16-17 Sabres

 

Isn't the rule just about a kicking motion? I'm honestly not sure the fact he was tripped matters, because it was definitely a kicking motion.

Distinct kicking motion.

 

"With the use of a foot/skate, was a distinct kicking motion evident? If so, the apparent goal must be disallowed. A DISTINCT KICKING MOTION is one which the player propels the puck with his skate into the net." Clear as mud. It used to reference a pendulum motion. Without that term, the definition really makes no sense.

Good work on all fronts.  :thumbsup:

 

Though the rule isn't particularly clear, I do think it was the right call.

Instead of being the worst possession team with a lead in the entire NHL, I'd like to see them keep pressing and scoring. 

 

Last game, shots by period:
1st: Buffalo 16, Toronto 11
2nd: Buffalo 16, Toronto 11

3rd: Buffalo 6, Toronto 12

 

None of that tonight please

Especially w/ the "unsafe" 2 goal lead

In my mind, "distinct kicking motion" always implied intent. But I suppose the word "distinct" does not discriminate against intentional kicks vs coincidental kicks. The way the rule is written, intent is taken completely out of it (probably to ease the burden on reviews, since determining intent would be a judgement call). Thanks for quoting the rule, PA. I'm much less upset over the overturn.
