Lmao

[bob_sauve28]

And they get a penalty?? Lol!!

[Stoner]

Can you imagine if that went against us?

[Thorner]

Glad it counted, but this league is a joke.

[Stoner]

Ref does an incredibly bad job at explaining it, but that was a great call

Convince me.

[DarthEbriate]

So.... what happened? The ref didn't explain anything over the roar of the crowd and RJ exclaiming that he quit. What is the explanation?

Yeah new rule...if you challenge offside and you lose its a 2 minute penalty

At least RJ and Rob are honest, that was offsides. 

 

EDIT: Yep, with the further repay, I think they all tagged up. I don't think being the puck being in the air matters, but I think they all were touching the blue line at the same time.

So the first goal by a Defenseman this season gets called off by Toronto.  UGGGGGHHH!  Like McCabe's shot though.  Keep it up boys.  Risto looking good tonight too.

My bad, by the hair of our chinny chin chin.  Alright, crazy goal to get us on a scoring streak.  And by a young defenseman, I'll take it.  #LookingForAnythingPositiveWithThisTeam

Larry didn’t touch it inside the zone until the other Sabres had checked up.. so that should have been a delayed offsides, cleared, play now back onside. Right??

[bob_sauve28]

Oh, that makes sense

[Taro T]

And they get a penalty?? Lol!!

That's the tweak to the rule. You mess up & you then feel shame for up to 2 minutes.

[WildCard]

Wow...that was clearly offside...good break for us...and we are on the PP...not like it matters, haha

It wasn't though. Our guys tagged back up before McCabe touched the puck in the zone. It was onsides

[Brawndo]

That explanation by Ray was very plausible.

 

What the hell is happening????

[WildCard]

Convince me.

It wasn't though. Our guys tagged back up before McCabe touched the puck in the zone. It was onsides

[Taro T]

And, the play actually WAS good. They all cleared the zone before Larsson got in.

 

Awesome!

Thats how the colorado colorguys explained it and they agree. Onside.

The Colorado broadcast did a fantastic job at explaining it. The ref should be fined for not, because that's a travesty 

[hockeyhound]

Touch up play, nice.

[bob_sauve28]

Larry didn’t touch it inside the zone until the other Sabres had checked up.. so that should have been a delayed offsides, cleared, play now back onside. Right??

I guess they cleared zone before he went in, as his stick was way in front of him when he hit the puck

[WildCard]

Thats how the colorado colorguys explained it and they agree. Onside.

Yup, that's the stream I'm watching. Pretty good crew honestly. Makes me realize just how truly awful Ray really is

I've enjoyed their broadcast. They've been fair.

Before Larsson did, yup.

[DarthEbriate]

Thanks for the explanations of what's going on ---    McCAAAAAbe!

 

We don't have to play "imagination goal-scoring defenseman" anymore.     (I got a pogo-stick!)

OK, thanks. The ref ordering chicken tenders and tator tots could give the NHL refs some advice.
