COACH TOTORO SAY REFEREE CAN BANISH WHISTLE TO LAND OF WIND AND GHOSTS!

People in Seattle didn't understand why I was so cranky they traded Soucy in for Dumoulin. But I knew then, and now Canucks fans know too. You don't get some magnificent goal scoring d-man, but you do get someone who is responsible with the puck, can skate, and takes a good position while defending.

Soucy made Tyler Myers look presentable on the ice, which is as close to a miracle as exists in the NHL.

Kyle Okposo is 6th among Sabres forwards in time on ice this season.

This is a thoroughly unserious organization.

If getting rid of Myers meant taking in Sbisa 2.0 (I dont know who this is but for the sake of argument lets just say Luca Sbisa found a time machine and got young again), would you do it?

This is great hockey, he just goes where the puck is going to be.

As much as this is lol Myers, this clip is also a great example of what makes elite players, Hughes has probably done the video on all the defenders and knows there’s a good chance Myers might do that, I doubt that’s just luck. But not only predicting the bad play, but does so in a position where he can create a grade A chance in half a second.

A tremendous piece of scouting, figuring out that Tyler Myers does something stupid with the puck almost every time it's on his stick.

okposo pitchforks the goalie and it only becomes loose after he falls over :shrug:

But you are correct, in a just league that goal would have stood because it was against the Bruins.

“Shove” the goalie. Okay dude. Where was the “shove”?

Edit: sorry but poking for the uncovered puck isn’t interference, Ullmark is a gigantic baby for falling down there. Linus “Humpty Dumpty” Ullmark.

No one in this thread is going to agree with you. It doesn’t matter how much force is in the contact, Okposo’s stick is in his midsection.

Now let’s get you out on the ice in goalie pads, put you in a butterfly and see how hard it is to push you over. It doesn’t take a lot of force to push people over in that straight up position trying to close off the posts.

A puck under the goalie is considered covered. That doesn't happen much in Buffalo though, cut him some slack.

I like the twitter comments that are like Toronto is biased against Buffalo. Like any Torontonian gives enough of a poo poo about the Sabres that they'd decide to screw them over in favour of the loving Bruins.

Do other sports have this thing where people accuse the league office of having regional bias because of where their office building is located?

Anyway it’s this though.

The Sabres make no loving sense this season, they kicked the poo poo out of the Rangers and Bruins but lost to some really lovely teams in between. Maybe Eric Robinson was the missing piece?!?

He did look good tonight from where I was sitting! Then Bo Horvat potted two goals in 20 seconds and the Islanders actually managed to hold onto a third period lead for once! Imagine if they could do that consistently...

They would be up there with the rangers if they didn’t collapse 10 times in the 3rd so far this season.

But they did, so they are only tied for 3rd in the metro
