Why’d the whistle blow?

Our announcing team useless for context or an explanation.

[DarthEbriate]

Mitts pings.

[Zamboni]

Dahlin …

[Doohicksie]

Mitts is getting up to speed.  Shoulda coulda woulda.... almost!

[NAF]

Mittelstadt looking solid. Good controlled zone entry.

[That Aud Smell]

I mean, I know it went because of an injured player.

But why then?

[Cascade Youth]

Is Mitts gonna start dominating now?  He seems to be on a trajectory. 

[That Aud Smell]

Dahlin’s hit made up for the godawful play prior to then.

Gambrell was down and in distress. Once the goalie made the save on the breakaway, the ref blew for the injury. Didn't need to, but they must've thought he was in a serious condition.  They gave the breakaway, then treated the save like a hasty OTT possession.

He’s played angry for a couple games now. We desperately need this. 

Angry Dahlin is the best Dahlin.

Got screwed again by the refs...no way the whistle should have been blown.  Nice body check by Dahlin in the defensive zone....completely clean hit.

Agreed.  The ref has to wait until there isn't a scoring chance.  The Otters did not have control of the puck.

Injured Ottawa player.  But it usually should have only been blown when Ottawa recovers the puck, which they didn't do before Skinner netted it.  Instead, the refs blew the whistle on the initial save.

Ah - okay. So not a change of possession, but a moment of non-possession. Tough luck for the Sabres.

[Crusader1969]

Don’t want to see anyone hurt but Dahlin with the crunch.

Let the Rasmus flow through you.

Ooooh. Chabot went for a Girgs hit, and got his arm extended against the stanchion.

[Brawndo]

Interesting strategy, injury all the Sens Players

Sabres really abusing the Sens tonight.

[Doohicksie]

Holy *****, we're literally killing the Senantors.

Better them than us. 

[Taro T]

Chabot was lucky they changed the partitions after the Chara hit on Paccioretty.  He'd've been in a real world of hurt.

[inkman]

All of a sudden we’re the 70s Flyers 

[Zamboni]

Girgensons …

One player for OTT every 5 min!

[Doohicksie]

This will end up about 5-2 for the Sabres.
