Seriously, we need Pegs to hire an independent law firm to investigate the propensity for injuries on this team. Is it just bad luck or are the Sabres doing something wrong? Inquiring minds want to know. 

Personally I think "abundance of caution" is the right call in this particular season.  Hopefully by next season they'll be playing for the playoffs and the emphasis will be on keeping them on the ice.

Maybe the don't respect the Sabres ability to do that?

Maybe it's just their normal tactic because in the heat of the moment a lot of players just try to move it straight up the ice.

That didn’t look like a good challenge to take. 

Rule 618 | Handling Puck with Hands

(a) Play shall be stopped and a last play face-off shall occur anytime a player (except the goalkeeper) closes his hand on the puck and does not immediately drop the puck to the ice.
     A minor penalty for delay of game shall be assessed to any player, other than the goalkeeper, who picks the puck up from the ice with his hand(s) while play is in progress.
     A penalty shot/optional minor penalty shall be awarded to the non-offending team anytime a defending player, other than the goalkeeper, picks the puck up off the ice with his hand or holds the puck while play is in progress and the puck is in the goal crease. If this infraction occurs while the goalkeeper has been removed from the ice and prevents and obvious and imminent goal, a goal shall be awarded to the non-offending team.

(Note) For the purpose of this rule, the goal crease shall extend from the ice to the top of the crossbar of the goal frame.

(b) A player or goalkeeper shall not be allowed to “bat” the puck in the air, or push it along the ice with his hand, directly to a teammate unless the “hand pass” has been initiated and completed in his defending zone, in which case play shall be allowed to continue. If the “hand pass” occurs in the neutral or attacking zone, a stoppage of play will occur and a face-off will take place according to last play face-off rules provided no territorial advantage has been gained.


he literally batted the puck, in the air in the offensive zone.  How is it NOT a hand pass?

It didn't go off the glove, it went off his forearm.

I can't Dunleavy anymore.  I actually put on the CO coverage.

..... where it's kid's night and they're having kids on doing the interview/play-by-play...  Is it better than Dunleavy-watching-a-TV-screen-from-Buffalo? No. But, it's not worse.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
