SabresBillsFan Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 It was a garbage call. The call was crap, is crap. Call might be crap but getting outworked and outshot is no execuse Quote
Stoner Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 There wasn't possession. That's a play that is called offside 99.9% of the time. The NHL is just making ###### up like they always do to fabricate a reason for why they completely botched a call. The last player to touch the puck is in possession of it! It doesn't have to be in your pocket! Quote
hockeyhound Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) bailey looks like the only player really trying He hasn't been infected yet. He might want to consider asking to be traded before it's too late. Edited October 21, 2017 by hockeyhound Quote

Stoner Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Having said that, I'm coming around to The Dipsy Doodle Argument. "Actually controlling" would seem to mean "maintaining control." Not a one-time tip. Edited October 21, 2017 by PASabreFan Quote
gomper Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I wish Housley would have gotten tossed arguing that offside call. They need something to wake these zombies up. Quote
jad1 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Bailey makes you wonder if there are other players in Rochester who play like they give half a damn. Maybe it's time that those guys get a shot to hurdle the low bar set by Moulson, Okposo, Pouliot and like 10 other guys on this sinking ship. Quote
WildCard Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I wish Housley would have gotten tossed arguing that offside call. They need something to wake these zombies up. They need a leader. And apparently Jack can't be one Quote
LGR4GM Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 I wish Housley would have gotten tossed arguing that offside call. They need something to wake these zombies up.I'd pick an assistant captain and trade him. Then make a list of players in order of how hard you think they're playing. Put the traded player at the top and post it in the locker room. Then after each game adjust the ranking of lazy . You stay at the top for a week, gone. Quote
apuszczalowski Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Just saw the replay, watching from the Canadian broadcast and the puck is flipped in the air, he touches it with his stick as it's falling, crosses over the line with both skates, then reaches for the puck as it is on the blue line and pulls it over. If the nhl defines having possession by just whomever touched the puck last, the yea he had possession cause he was the last to touch it, but he didn't have the puck when he crosses over, he just touched it last.

Ah, I actually think there is a legit reason for the discrepancy between our interpretations. I think you're thinking of possession in the delayed penalty sense in which case as soon as it touches the penalized team's stick they have "possession" and the play is blown dead. On rushes across the blue line "possession" has a completely different definition. Always has (at least in my 40ish years of playing and watching hockey). Quote

"Actually controlling" would seem to mean "maintaining control." Not a one-time tip.I guess it's semantics(?)Possession? Sure if it's defined as just being the last player to physically touch the puck Control? Not a chance, he did not have control of the puck until he was well over the line Quote

On rushes across the blue line "possession" has a completely different definition. Always has (at least in my 40ish years of playing and watching hockey). You have to have control to get the whistle there. You have to do something with the puck. Again the issue on the call is control. He had controlled it, but was he "actually controlling" it? On to the Hockey Supreme Court. Quote
Iron Crotch Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Gotta be honest... I have absolutely no indication that JBot is any better as a GM than Murray just yet. Seem to me that pretty much every single player JBot acquired this off-season is terrible (with the exception of Pommer who has been solid thus far). Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Amers sucking also. Down 5-2. Ullmark pulled. Anyone else know that Fedun had been recalled? Quote
Stoner Posted October 21, 2017 Report Posted October 21, 2017 Look at 90 cruising back on the shorthanded goal! Quote
