GDT - The Dastardly Flyers @ The Sharper Than Expected Sabres - 1:00 PM (EST) / 2:00 PM (NS time)

[Randall Flagg]

This game is f*cking rigged. I'm barely joking. 

[bunomatic]

Perhaps we'll get a powerplay in the 3rd ? 

[Cityo'Rasmii]

^*&^% the refs

What about putting Mitts up on the top line as a wing?  Maybe get him some confidence.

Mitts has had a longer stretch at center than Sam ever has, with comprehensively worse results, which is interesting

Unreal how much of a joke these refs are honestly this is absurd

Nailed on Flyers pp goal after a phantom slashing call off the opening faceoff.

Dude he is by far our worst and most useless forward. He tanks every single forward he plays with and can't do anything with the puck

WRONG

Cite one meaningful offensive play he's been a part of at even strength in any building that isn't the Bell Center 

Name one Sabre with worse scoring rates, possession metrics, and effect on teammates 

Both of these are impossible tasks 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Focus guys.

Remember that SDS did ask very nicely.  We don't want him to get in trouble, now do we.

Do officials not like Jeff Skinner? Like, is it a conspiracy? Because he suffers more no-calls than any player I've ever watched. He's playing against two opponents every night.

I don't see it watching him honestly. I'd be interested in hearing an argument for it tho

By who lol the FCC?

[Stoner]

The non-call at the end was OK. It could have been holding either way. The spin-around on Skinner just before that was borderline, too. Frustration about the refs is proxy for frustration about the Sabres' play IMHO. That said...

I'm the last person to ref-bait, but in recent games, there has been the slightest whiff of, "OK, what do you guys think you're doing?" It's something to watch.

Were you not around for all that stuff about not bypassing the filter?

That's what I thought when I watched the late non-call along the right boards.

Maybe not. Not everyone reads every thread. There still isn't a list of board rules that's prominently displayed and reminded of.

You know what, Jennie? Get back down to the docks.
