Alaska John Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 I didn't see the game. Was the officiating in the Florida game particularly egregious or just standardly egregious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatorman0519 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 The call on Benson was egregious. But Donny decided to have an epic meltdown and cost us the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 NHL officiating has been in question my entire life. HDTV has made it extraordinarily easy to witness the abomination. It’s never been good. The problem the Sabres have is two fold. They have an extremely young team, so they get no calls. They also have an extremely passive team, so when a team like Boston of Florida come to town and commit 5 penalties every shift, they are deemed aggressive and are rewarded by the officials. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 55 minutes ago, SwampD said: It was bad. Understatement imo. It was the worst I've seen this season for any team and totally favoured Florida. I don't fault him at all. I like the emotion and I'm sure the players do too. We need more of that. I was actually thinking in the first period I'd end up writing "why is Granato so passive with those refs, can you imagine what Brind'Amour or Torts would have done?" but then he exploded in the third after bottling it in so long I guess so scrap that draft post 🙂 Donny must have used the F word big time. Those refs need a disciplinary hearing. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thankful he finally showed he had a pulse and let them have it. Sometimes you just have to stand your ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said in the GDT that I didn't think the officiating changed the outcome of the game, but there is no way to say for sure. Who cares, anyway, we shouldn't have to watch that garbage.

pi2000 Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 There were a few bad calls but the call he blew up on was the correct call... and his tantrum cost them at least a point. His unwillingness to apologize in the media seemed odd. Not very professional. Do better Donny. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 His timing was awful… but glad to know Granato is willing to get in the refs face when they are favoring the other team with bogus calls on us. When pushed… DG got some vociferous anger in him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimlach Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Meh. It’s the NHL. Bad officiating. The teams that commit the most penalties get the most leeway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those refs need a disciplinary hearing. I mean... to make a brutally bad call. Then to DOUBLE DOWN and throw a bench minor on top of it? Just awful. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly the one legit tripping call on Benson is what set Donny off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montour gave him a full side hug which cause Benson to lose his balance and poke the skates out from under the other Panther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
