It was late but 5 min agreed was stupid, Barkov hit too but Im fine if that is the way they are going to call it... but suspension on either or both is beyond the pale...  both hits were clean... one was clear interference the other late... so 2 min each imo should have been the call

We see hits that are much later go uncalled every game all game long. I will never be convinced that this was a late hit.

It was late but agree they let them go every game... hit on Barkov a little late too and yet they let them go too... meh neither hit that bad but since they called one felt they had to call the other...

Incredible story on Habs goalie Dobes.

We all know TP and GMKA have their heads up their a$$e$, but if they just watched even a game or two of these playoffs, how can they not understand this team isn’t remotely close to being built for the playoffs?  Unfortunately, I am feeling more convinced that they don’t want to build a team capable of succeeding in the playoffs….but rather a team of soft players who lacks guts and physicality.

Sabres have no idea how physical the playoffs are because they havent been there... Ottawa doesnt either and were smacked the first two games but kinda figured it out... Young Sabres really need the experience even if they lose in first round

Habs really playing well tonight.  No reason the Sabres can’t do this.  
 

We deserve better Terry.

Tom Wilson wrecking kids out there.

Wilson just destroyed the Habs 

playoff will be a whole different animal for us, if we ever get there

As with any team some players will play harder and others will shrink. The playoffs are an entirely different game than regular season hockey but also has a tendency to change players. Danny Briere was never a physical player but he loved playoff hockey although the physicality increased. Now I highly doubt Power will suddenly get a backbone in the playoffs but a guy like Peterka could. Although rare, he does occasionally show a slightly more physical game.

Power would have broken his other leg by now.
