PASabreFan Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Whoever advised Phil to challenge or Phil himself has to understand why the NHL considers that a good goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 It's almost always separated. If the puck is in first it doesn't matter. If your skates are in first then the puck must be on your stick. That's the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 If you're controlling the puck, yes.I could understand maybe if it was sitting on his stick, but he made contact before crossing , then didn't touch it again until he was over Want to make the game better ( and this is for all sports), get rid of all the additional crap on the rules. What's an offside? If any part of your body touching the ice crosses the blue line before the puck, it's offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Alright folks, I've got work in a couple hours. I'm taking my leave. Hope they pull their heads out of their because Vancouver is terrible and they are fcuking schooling Buffalo. Through 8 games and 2.5 periods this team is a disgrace. It can't get any worse, right?

SabresBillsFan Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 This team needs to work period. No one wants to attack the puck and hustle back. This team if it continues will be top ten pick again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) If the puck gets into the zone first it doesn't matter... But you can enter in backwards if you are in control. And in those instances the puck isn't always technically touching the stick. Oh well. It's not like we are deserving of a better fate right now.

You need to be dragging it into the zone. It HAS to be on your stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 If the puck gets into the zone first it doesn't matter... Exactly. And how many times does a player put HIMSELF offside by dipsy doodling at the blue line? Is that not control? Which is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the rule.nah, that would make things easier for the refs, and make the game more enjoyable for fans cause the rules of the game would be easier for everyone to understand.

That Aud Smell Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Like. I was NOT prepared for the team to be demonstrably worse than last year. Sorry. I’m comparing this team to the team I watched live last season. This team is way worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SabresBillsFan Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Damn, Bailey is FAST. Seen this in Anaheim and in Vegas. He uses his speed well but I would like him to keep going hard to the net. He’s a big guy who is tough to contain because of his size and speed. Who else sees Jack just going thru the motions. For a guy that just signed for $80 million you would think he would take more control of this team. He’s like that player who instead of dominating and turning it up a notch, he turns it down and looks to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Sabres puck control attocious. Seems like puck is sticking on the ice for them or they are rushing too much with it and leaving puck behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyhound Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Yep, this is the rule. If the puck is separated from your stick when your skates are in the zone then it constitutes no control. The bad call is irrelevant, good call bad call it doesn't matter, good teams overcome and find a way. We're just a bad team that has sucked the life out of season ticket holders for the last 6 years +. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eman Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 This team needs to work period. No one wants to attack the puck and hustle back. This team if it continues will be top ten pick again. Exactly, they aren't attacking the puck. They take a wait and see approach. No desperation on this club. As previous posts have noted here. Vancouver looks ripe for the picking yet the Sabres lay back. The power play scares the hell out of me. You could see that shorty coming from a mile away. not sure what Phil is doing in his coaching. 6 shorties in the first 8 games. Just brutal!

apuszczalowski Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Exactly. We’ll find out tomorrow that they blew the call.the mhm will make a quiet announcement that a mistake was made, their bad, and send a nicely worded letter/apology card and a fruit basket to the team and make it all better. Unless it happened to a poster boy or darling team, then they will re write the rule to make it even more objective and confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
