    A lot of it, for my part, comes down to bias: i truly believe it’s not a very good reflection of the type of play one sees while watching the rest of the normal game, so while rooting for my team, I hate to see points come down to it. It IS* entertaining: when I’m watching other teams plays, even though I still don’t think it’s a good reflection, I don’t really care cause ya, not Buffalo. 

    * the interesting thing though, is that “it’s really fun” has worn off for me over time, as well. As coaches have sunk their teeth into it, more often than not I feel nowadays it becomes a game of keep away, which is boring imo. Of course, my reading of how often these OTs devolve into that kinda contest might also be weighted on by my personal bias; it’s hard to say

    It is only a game of keep away, when the other team allows it to be. 

    It’s not a power play vs a penalty kill. It’s 3 on 3. If you don’t want the other team to play keep away, put your 3 guys on their 3 guys and get the puck back instead of waiting in a defensive shell for them to miss a shot. 

    We all know how ineffective Alamo Mode.

    I think all games should be worth 3 points. It doesn’t make logical sense to me that some games deal out a greater portion of total standings points. Some games literally mean more than others re: the portion of the standings they are contributing to. To me, that’s a flaw. 

    granted, it’s obviously a known, intentional flaw: keep more squads in the race longer. It’s not changing 

    I agree with this and have been saying this for years now.

    Assuming Sabres beat Columbus tomorrow, they will end up missing the playoffs by ONE point. 1 point behind Florida due to that loss to the Panthers just last week. 

    You could point to many more factors than just that one. 

    For me, it’s the Fasching kicked in goal that was called no goal on the ice, and was inexplicably overturned by the refs. 

    If the Sabres had won that game, and everything else played out the same, they have the final spot clinched right now, with one more game to go.

    It is one thing for the Sabres to lose a game on their own. It’s a completely different animal to me when the refs have a giant hand in the outcome. 

    Tie game, close battle, good contest, halfway through the 3rd, called no goal on ice - NO reason for the refs to interject themselves into helping decide that game there.

    Comrie gave up 10 goals when his team in front of him quit playing defense. In his next outing against the Islanders the goalie played a sterling game. And it shouldn't be surprising that the team played exceptional defense in front of him in that game. 

    So, if a team quits playing defense, it’s okay for the goalie to quit trying to stop pucks? 
     

    Also, you missed the joke.

    Bottom line, I trust Comrie more than Luukkonen or Anderson at this point. No professional coach I ever heard of, besides Mario Tremblay in his rookie year, would leave a goalie in for ten goals so I don't think that outing was on Comrie. 

    So, what you’re saying is, if Granato had pulled Comrie he wouldn’t have given up 10 goals?
