It was crap. It was actually hooking on Skinner.😂

Will we see a Sabres goal tonight?

This team is much easier to watch if you go in expecting this game, then if you get a Vegas or a TO effort, you win twice.

Tuch did not have a good period. He had Mitts wide open on the far side of the net on the PP and he sends it to the slot that is filled with bruins trying to get it to Skinner. Someone needs to wake these nut sacks up.

Tuch with some bad decisions.

These backhands are going to be the death of me.

Every bad play by the Sabres, it seems, starts with a wimpy ass backhand pass.

Clifton sucks.

Who are you arguing with and what are you arguing? Do you even know anymore.

Thought this was kinda funny. Across the street from where my daughter lives.

Seems like you both like to keep moving the goalposts.

Gottit. Believe your hypothetical over what the actual player said, at the risk of being fined. I, too, never argued otherwise. In fact, I'd have to go back and check (I'm not going to), but I haven't blamed a single loss this year on officiating. There have been bad calls for and against, and even worse non calls for or against, but mostly, there has just been bad hockey by the Sabres.

And JRTR #2, it’s not just the Sabres. I watch a lot (too much, if there is such a thing) of hockey and there are other teams that don’t get the benefit of the doubt, either. There are MFTs (most favored teams.) It’s just the way it is. I don’t even get upset about it anymore. The only time I get mad is when someone tries to tell me it doesn’t exist.

That sweater (actual sweater, not hockey jersey) at the end is awesome!

And JFTR, I didn’t see the rest game, only the whole hit and fight part. I had zero problem with any of those penalty’s or “non calls”, just the refs reason for giving them.

This is such a load. We hear this all the time and we’re supposed to just believe it cuz you said it with such confidence. It’s BS. Show us examples. And not just bad calls. There are always bad calls. I want to see the non calls. They are what change games (and what explicitly commented on by the official on Saturday. He wouldn’t have made the call but for the bee in his bonnet. Which means he would not have called it on a team that he sees fit.) Show me examples where the game was going one way, but the refs changed it in our favor by letting something go. Merry Christmas, but the whole “the refs are completely unbiased and it all evens out” narrative is annoying. Even worse is being told that we have actually benefited. I’m going to need proof, not just platitudes.

By using the term never, you have loaded the question.

I needed to circle back to this. If the ref said this, then how can anyone justify a single thing that ref called afterward. He's telling the world that he is biased and doesn't care about the rules, and because he got butthurt earlier, he called the penalty. Ridiculous,… but completely common and expected at this point.

Where were you to defend Robinson’s BS ejection the other night. Your need to appear to be fair and balanced is kinda funny. And other than Cuylle leaving his feet, which he did do (anyone who says both feet didn't leave the ice isn't watching), it was a clean hit and by the rules, an instigator penalty was warranted. I'm just wondering why the same was(or ever) not applied when it's the Sabres who do the hitting.

Lighten up. It was a joke.

My yearly observation: If Clarence had just had just shown George the hot librarian right from the start and said, “Look, you had four kids, so you know you hit that at least four times,…” the movie could have been over in 45 minutes.

***** the Rags. Some unbelievable empty net play in this one.

The way the refs have been calling Sabres games this year tells me they’ll be perfectly ready for the officiating in the playoffs.

For being “run and gun” (not really sure it was) it sure looked a lot like they decided to play defense and actually cover guys 10 feet from the net.

Were you a coke dealer? 😂
