I just think both refs missed it. They're not seeing the game from the air like we are. There doesn't always have to be a second shooter.

Sure but I think it'd demonstrably clear they hesitate to put a team down 2, similar to how they resist calling penalties in OT. Not speaking to this instance specifically.

Looks like Dahlin is going to miss some time.  The injury bug is relentless this month.

***** you Cernak

Maybe, but so did 2 Linesmen too then...are they not allowed to advise the refs of such infractions?  I don't see how 4 sets of eyes can miss something so obvious.  If they all missed it, then they should not be in the NHL.

There must be a small amount of bias in the officiating in any sport. That's human nature. You never want to own your original opinion after someone calls you on it — that is, the ref saw a vicious elbow to Dahlin's face and consciously decided not to call it Because Buffalo/Because Tampa. Honestly, I think that's nuts.

I believe the ref saw it. You don't. Only the ref knows you is right.

[Brawndo]

Seriously, another penalty?

There needs to be blood. The Sabres can't let crap like that stand. "A win" is not good enough.

I hate the Tampa Bay Lightning with the entirety of my being 

[Doohicksie]

These refs are BULL *****

I won’t dispute that they couldn’t have possibly seen it but I also won’t dispute that they certainly should have seen it. Player safety should be the first thing they’re policing and with the young man shaken like he was to have not returned makes them look very bad in the eyes of whomever reviews their performance. Shame on them though, eh?

The Sabres are extremely undisciplined.

[CallawaySabres]

This is such a freaking joke 

[Gatorman0519]

Hope it’s not concussion... we don’t need that to start at his age.

This is why we need a player or two capable of a little thuggery.  Not to get revenge on Cernac, but to be the team that issues some disruption for a change, instead of always being the victim of disruption all the damned time.

[North Buffalo]

Holy crap Tampa sneezes they call a penalty... seen a hook and a grab just this period no call wtf... and dont get me started on elbow to Dhalin

And that crappy icing call

Oof. The skaters let up and even TB's announcers were surprised by the call. Alright. Gotta kill this well like we've done this game.

So are the Lightning, as we've pointed out several times. Somehow they don't get called.

I feel bad for you.

7 minutes gone in the 3rd.  Tampa with their second PP of the period. 

 

I’m thinking  Cernak is not at all concerned that someone will run him. 

No one said Boo to Kucherov when he laid out Sobotka with a late hit, and they had a full game the next day to answer.  

 

[Carmel Corn]

Interesting that Scandella's penalty call was within a few feet of where Dahlin got elbowed... they don't seem to have any trouble seeing that part of the ice after all!  @#$%^&!

You were saying.

Nice effort Asplund. Let's tie this up on the PP.

In the Sabres Defense, Sobotka is addition by subtraction

Shattenkirk is like, "that wasn't supposed to be called..."
