hopeleslyobvious Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 On the plus side, our next game is against the Rangers, and they have been struggling against some bad teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 great. colin campbell called darcy and said it should not have been a goal. I wish that i could see the guy sweat it out at a post game PC, like that leclair net ripper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Rick just said that there was a "breakdown in communications" between the arena and the league office in Toronto after the goal. the league apparently tried to call but couldnt. yea right.....

Don Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 "Breakdown in communications" my ass. If you want to know how Bettman feels about us, read the Swados book. Bettman has one thing in common with Rigas; he's a criminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 i'll be willing to sell you the brooklyn bridge if this "communication error" is mentioned in the AP or CP writeup of the game in more than one sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. How quick would that have been reviewed if we had scored it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seannie34 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 its good to see i little energy out of the Sabres at the end of the period. this game is still within reach if we can pick it up in the second... and if no more goals are kicked in.

Corp000085 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 its the 3rd, so we;ll really have to pick it up... although, the flames could literally pick it up and throw it over the glass and not get a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 its easy to say that the sabres should be playing better, but this is proof that a bad goal can truly take the wind out of your sails. However, the last 2 minutes of the 2nd, plus a break to brood over it, will get this team going. I don't generally complain about the refs either, but when your team gets screwed royally, it feels like you got robbed, and when you're on the positive end of a screwjob (i haven't. i'm a bills and sabres fan) it feels like a cheap victory. I don't think anyone would complain if the refs did their jobs correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corp000085 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I think there are plenty of reasons to complain about it tonight. there are. this game is a good coaching opportunity for lindy. if they find a way to win, he can use the "win when all odds are against us" or if they lose, he can write it off for bad officiating. By the way, this reminds me of one of my favorite/bittersweet moments of being a sabres fan. during the whole leclair situation, darcy was threatening to punch out the video replay guy and was throwing tvs around the booth and stuff. NOBODY takes a dump on the sabres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Paul Hamilton on WGR said the video replay officials are "minor officials" provided by the home team. This can't be true, can it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can't be true, can it? well, don't make me start a list of things that "can't possibly be true" about the nhl. it will be very long and will have to be continued on the sabres vs. rangers game thread coming up in a couple days.

Corp000085 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 ok, i'm drawing a complete blank on this... i know tony amonte played for the blackhawks, but who was the really short guy who played for the blackhawks and rangers and was an alcoholic? he was like 5'5" and "retired" 2 years ago? i really can't think of who it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Anyone see where the Regehr brothers were born? Robyn was born in Recife, Brazil and Richie was born in Bandung, Indonesia. Anyone know the story behind this? From the Flames web site: While both make their home in Rosthern, Sask., about a 6.5 hour drive from Calgary, they were born outside Canada while their parents were on missionary duty. Robyn was born in Recife, Brazil while Richie was born in Bundung, Indonesia. The entire family was back in Canada by the time Richie turned three but not before they had a jungle monkey as a pet.
