themaze2332 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 You can't say something like that based on one call. Did you hear when they were basically laughing at how awful the slashing call to Stafford was? These guys aren't great, but they're definitely not biased. On that note though, players do embellish the high sticks all the time. It's a tough to figure out though because of the natural reaction to whip your head back when anything comes that close to hitting you in the face. Fair enough - biased wasn't the right word. They have made some good points for our team. I was just more taken aback at his comments, first on Connolly and then on Stafford. If he has the same reaction about a penalty against the Thrashers in the third period then I will call it even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 HI DAD. If she's a poster here....I can be on the 10:15 to Atlanta on Delta with $1500 cash in my pocket. She had a Blackberry...maybe they'll....I mean, she'll check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwoz Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Wow, that's an empty arena... Just started watching the game on the DVR and that's the first thing I thought of. I'm not sure Atlanta deserves a hockey team. Send 'em back to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Got a ??? for everybody in BFLO watching the game. Is the quality of the MSG broadcast really that poor, or is it the internet feed? I've got NHL GameCenter so I can see both teams broadcasts and MSG is by far the worst of all games I have seen so far this year. Almost like it's not really HD, just stretched to fit. Hell, even the ratio is off, seems like everybody is short and fat, lol. watching MSG HD on Directv looks fine to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to be combative, but if that's the best the Thrashers can do in terms of attendance, then ownership should reconsider their location.

If the canes had never gotten to SC in first few years here you would see the same thing. Most Buffalo games in Carolina prior to first cup loss to detroit were same as you see in Atlanta lots of sabre fans few for the home team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many cities in the NFL that can't understand why Buffalo has a NFL team. Is Atlanta a hockey hot bed? No! I will bet there are many fans in Atlanta that feel as strong about their team as we do about the Sabres. They may not have the numbers, they still exist. I don't want to see any fan lose their team.

You're absolutely right. It would be very sad for the scores of fans who attend Thrashers games if their franchise were to leave Atlanta. But stuff happens, and if I owned the team and saw that empty seats outnumbered paying customers by a wide margin, you can bet that I'd try to protect my investment and start looking for an exit strategy. Ultimately, sports is a business. And business owners are in it to make money, not to provide a public service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Anybody know would have happened to the double minor if Hecht's goal was good? I believe the first penalty would have been wiped out and the second enforced. "Any penalties signaled during the period of time between the apparent goal and the next stoppage of play shall be assessed in the normal manner, except when a minor penalty is to be assessed to the team scored upon, and is therefore nullified by the scoring of the goal. Refer to Rules 16.2 and 18.2. If an infraction happens after the first stoppage of play following an apparent goal (infraction after the whistle) by either team, it is assessed and served in the normal manner regardless as to the decision rendered by the Video Goal Judge."

Ultimately, sports is a business. And business owners are in it to make money, not to provide a public service. I'm not going to argue business. My point is simply the guy like you and me. Watching the team, talking about it on some fan board and hoping for a Cup! I don't want to tell him he doesn't deserve a team to cheer for. If you want to talk strictly business then we can talk about how a city like Buffalo may not deserve a major professional sports team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
