Not sure I follow the logic of the penalties at the end there.

I suspect the refs just started throwing the book at guys to keep things from getting really stupid.

And yet they give one team a 2 man advantage (Trocheck gets nothing for coming back at McCabe with all of those chops, after a clean hit??) with which they put out that goon with the most fights in the league? Yeah, that won't go bad the second a whistle goes. Two Sabres double-teamed, not enough refs to get in between, and Petrovic gets to tee off on McCabe's head while he's being held by the lunkhead ref. 

 

They really controlled that one well.

Man, Eich's hand didn't even come up til after ROR was already looking the other way. I see nothing there.

Why didn't ROR skate directly to Eichel and celebrate? He drifted over and turned the other way. Eichel's face is stone. Compare to the standard NHL goal celebration.

 

Smoke meet fire.

I wish I could muster up the energy to care about this. I really do.

there are going to be people you work with that you dont like. in fact, i dislike 40% of the people i work with. if eichel and ROR dont like each other, then they dont like each other. im sure its not a "thing". i dont speak with the people i dont like at work unless there is a work thing that we have to speak about.

Someone the other day basically concluded that O'Reilly was hurt or tired or something and just wanted to get to the locker room. Jeremy White deleted his tweets because of it. Nothingburger.

The rest of the team was over there, no? Including the guys that got ROR the puck and were the keys to the play? Eich had nothing to do with the goal

I'm really having a hard time drawing any negative conclusion from that 7-second clip. Perhaps a little bit of cognitive bias happening here?

 

O'Reilly is one of the few players on this pathetic roster that is actually producing...and fairly consistently at that. He's a solid #2 center whose contract is very reasonable beginning in 2019-20. We better be getting one hell of a return package on an O'Reilly trade.

 

Assuming there is actual conflict between Jack and Ryan, then someone needs to sit these two down and get them to resolve their grievances like adult males. Maybe this should be Housley's job? Sure seems like this should be part of his job description.

It’s been a long time since goaltending mattered; the team hasn’t been good enough.

Goaltending mattered tonight.

 

One more save as the team lost its way in the latter half of the first and we win this.

One more save as we completely dominated the third and maybe we force OT late.

 

Surprised at the amount of negativity in the thread. Buffalo was clearly the better team.

We were faster and - for the first time in a long time - we were making the other team our .

 

Very entertaining game, territorial dominance.

Shoulda won it.

 

We’re getting better.
