[Friday the 13th. Are you superstitious?]

My wife just won a $7000+ jackpot on a slot machine yesterday. I now love Friday 13th. Can't wait until the next one. 😁

Thanks. 

[Keybank Center Bag Policy]

My wife and I are going to the season opener. I found the following in the emails from TicketMaster:

"Important Event Info
KEYBANK CENTER BAG POLICY: ALL BAGS, BACKPACKS, AND PURSES ARE PROHIBITED"

We have not attended a Sabres game for several years. Is this a new policy and do they enforce it? Thanks in advance.

Never did I doubt that they are going to tie it. :P

 

Timmy is incredible!

[[Game Day] Senators @ Sabres 8:00PM]

The NHL vice president tells WGR Radio that the puck was "conclusively" on the line. As I type this, a caller makes the perfect point: if it was conclusive, how did the review take over 5 minutes? It was inconclusive. Period. Maybe a little more likely it was touching the line than not touching it, but still...

 

Honestly, what else would you expect from the NHL? A skunk can't change its stripes.

 

1) I was at the game, so I didn't get the benefit of many replays on the goal that was called back. But if Ruff, after the game, acknowledges it wasn't a goal (he so stated on WGR), that's good enough for me.

 

2) The refs actually followed their protocol on that call and phoned Toronto. That's the deal in the NHL; like the result or not, they followed the rules.

 

 

I don't care if they follow the HNL protocol to call Toronto, a 5-minute review is too long. You can always find a excuse if you keep looking for it.

 

The puck was rolling and doing a dance before finally landing flat on the ice possibly touching the goal line. Now can anyone tell me if the puck EVER cross the goal line BEFORE it laying on the ice flat? I definetly think so. I think they ruled it a goal based on the time when the puck ws completely flat on the ice.

 

Since it was already very close when it finally stays flat, simple geometry should tell you that the puck has crossed the line while most of the puck still was in the air. Based on this, I think all replay angles were inconculsive, therefore GOAL.
