Goodfella25 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Add another to the list. You CANNOT say the ref didn't lose sight of the puck..... But no, it's BUFFALO, so it HAS to count against us Exactly. Seriously, how can you not be a "Buffalo Conspiracy Theorist" after that....it never fails, we ALWAYS get screwed over. Always.

mrjsbu96 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 we just got screwed with that goal...they should have blown the whistle and they didnt, and that allowed Eaves to hack it into the net even though Biron covered it..........BS! And the one in Toronto didnt count because the referee "meant to blow the whistle"...whats the difference! i just heard for the first time jeanerette reference that ruling in Toronto. I don't buy in to the conspiraces or that the league is against us whatsover, but please tell me the official ruling on the no goal in Toronto was not that the 'official meant to blow the whistle!'

I don't buy in to the conspiraces or that the league is against us whatsover, but please tell me the official ruling on the no goal in Toronto was not that the 'official meant to blow the whistle!' Yes, that is exactly what the ruling was. He lost sight of the puck, and was "going to" blow the whistle when the puck went in. This time the ref loses sight, but WASN'T going to blow the whistle, even though he's "supposed to" upon losing sight. Briere on the point for the PP, and Fitz nails a wrist shot from the point. Beauty. That's what I say.... F*** the refs, beat em anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 ok enough whistle talk! somehow the sabres found a way to tie it at 3. emery looks shaky and we're getting chances. the third period could go either way, but hopefully the sabres can pull out a victory. i'd love for them to get to 50 wins on the season...

LabattBlue Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I'd like to see the Sabres score 2 goals in the first 10 minutes of the period and an empty netter to cap off a 6-3 WIN. GO SABRES!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Great to see Fitzy score and get some personal redemption after his horrendous giveaway in the Ottawa zone led to the Sens' shorthanded goal. Then again, Biron has to stop that shot. Geez. Rock has it right. Once the ref says to himself he's going to blow the whistle, whatever happens in that millisecond before he does is moot. I know it sounds crazy, but that's the way it works, and it actually makes sense. What makes no sense whatsoever is what were they reviewing on that goal tonight? And why can't the ref step to center ice, a la an NFL ref, and explain why the play is being reviewed, then go back out there after the decision and explain it? WHY? There's no conspiracy against Buffalo. Come on. It doesn't seem this way to a fan, but the mistakes do tend to even out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock DJ Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 With two down, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the overall play. A few bounces and a delayed whistle that didn't go our way. But the passes are looking pretty good and the effort is there. If they can keep this up in the third, should be a good outcome. There's no conspiracy against Buffalo. Come on. It doesn't seem this way to a fan, but the mistakes do tend to even out. PA, I've never been one to scream conspiracy, but there are times.... I mean, yeah, mistakes are made everywhere, but some are much more glaring than others, and some make a bigger difference in games than others. Then of course there are the ones that work one way one day, then the opposite way the next, and within the last couple games we've had complete opposite calls.

Aside from crushing Darcy the other night he really seems to have come on lately...I also think Mair makes a huge difference on that 4th line. Maybe it just a few little things that we need to come back together (some stellar goaltending and limit the giveaways would help :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabre31_98 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 You know this is the first time I have been pissed at Darcy and his failure to get a defenseman at the deadline. How many freaking times is Kalinin going to give the puck up in the buffalo zone. I am so sick of Kalinin and his breakdowns. why is Kalinin still getting shifts???? holy #%^$#!! he is still out there! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad the hockey gods stepped in and exonerated Kalinin. I still have some issues with him though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Campbell. I think he is really starting to develope. I am not going to rename him "Phil Housley" just yet but he is definitely getting better. You are right about the Youth Movement. At least he is going in the right direction. Jeez, Afinogenove and his damn "crazy Ivans" no 'e' on afinogenov, I know. fingers too fast for my brain. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PASabreFan Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yeahhhhhhhh! Did Max Afinogenov play a hockey game! I think I'm just going to enjoy the win and not talk about the deficiencies. We all saw them. But to tie it late and win it in overtime was pure magic. Maybe this is what this team needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topshelfcookies Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 OH BABY! Ladies and Gents...the Buffalo Sabres are BACK! Now that's the team we remember...and I don't care if Ottawa was without half their D or not...that was a hard faught, gritty effort. And...what an OT! The Sabres just absolutely took it to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The losing streak in behind us and the winning streak in now growing. I can't wait to see the flyers game! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topshelfcookies Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I agree...I think tonight's win is hugely important for this team. I absolutley agree that Ottawa wasn't at full strength (duh), and therefore can't necessarily be viewed from the perspective of "Buffalo beat Ottawa", because that was a very different Ottawa team tonight. That being said...it was hugely important for the Sabres because for now the second consecutive game, the Sabres played strong, Buffalo Sabres-like hockey, came from behind twice and I thought generally controlled play in both ends. This type of effort and game gives you reason to feel confident that this team is finally out of the woods in terms of their slump, and getting primed for the second season. Great game for the Goatheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock DJ Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I've loved Max's attitude all year. Yeah, he still can't finish, but like Connolly, he came to play with a new attitude. Even the penalties he took earlier in the season showed a heart he hadn't displayed. He seemed to lose that attitude during the losing streak, but he played well in Toronto, and incredible tonite. He's fast becoming a premier setup man. Just an overall solid effort. I think that Toronto shallacking may have been the true wakeup call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
