Don't believe so.

Between Mitts & VO.

They were trying to get out of the game w/out giving out any cheap food tomorrow. Oops.

What a save.

Like the bear used to say, did not see that coming. Sweet.

Pilut.

Htf did the cheap hit on Lyubushkin as the Sabres brought the puck into the zone not get called? He did something to tick these refs off.

At least that time the Jost line 3rd pairing combo was out against Lescysyn's (sp?) line rather than Stone's.

What a long freaking shift for Fitzgerald. He'd been out w/ the Jost & Cozens lines too.

Thompson!

Nice look by Tuch & nice drive to the net by Thompson drawing everybody w/ him.

Skinner!

Quitter. 😉

True, but the 2 of them together wrenches up the tension immeasurably.

Please do not put Pilut out w/ Fitzgerald anymore. At last this time they were out w/ the kid line.

That was wild. Somehow it stayed out of the net. Cool.

Did Lyubushkin sleep with the ref's wife? These calls are ridiculous.

Bull ####ing *****.

Not sure how they aren't at least stepping Lyubushkin through the steps to check for a concussion. At least his head didn't twist into the boards, but not sure it didn't hit again on the ice. Viscious hit.

He was right about the 1st icing.

Agreed w/ you that extra points/ 2 point ties should automatically be reviewed. And, yes, your hypothetical would've caused the play to be reviewed.

Said it upthread, really expecting after the 1st period to see Granato rotating having Dahlin & Damuelsson together 1 shift & then split time w/ a 3rd pairing guy & then back out together. Top pairing just under 30 minutes. Lyubushkin 20-22. Clague ~14. Fitz & Pilut 8-12 each.

Well, they DID get a 4th for Scandella and he was waaaay better than Thompson was in the Botterill era, so ... 😉 Facetious, but that gets back to a point made in the discussion w/ Perreault about whether another more active GM would've been better ST & LT than Adams. A more active GM who wasn't giving ALL the prospects a full length of rope could EASILY have wanted to bail on Tage. And it would've set the current team back tremendously. Really believe Adams deserves credit for not trying to convert ANY of the prospects into a handful of magic beans.

Those SHOULD be reviewed regardless. But see the league's point for not automatically reviewing close plays during regular action. It adds a #### ton of time to how long a game runs and also stops the momentum the team that nearly scored had going for it. Instead of playing the next down against a tired D, they have to go against a rested D & possibly 1 that had a chance to get their heavy personnel onto the field.

Need to speed it up to do Yakkety Sax justice. 😉
