Dahlin was reaching & the ref got in the way. If your going to call 2 mins (understandable) I'd say roughing, but really it was just an unfortunate play. This. Exactly! I'd be ok if they did call it roughing. Sure, fine. It's them making stuff up that bugs me. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -dlc- Posted January 14 Popular Post Share Posted January 14 2 minutes ago, Bob Long said: dunno. I thought for sure that they would just tire us out in the 1st, but instead they just got the boys fired up. I get the sense, especially from our core players, that they've just had enough. Losing. Getting pushed around. All of it. I feel like they really are "all in" and just won't lose. I mean...they will at times...but they're so determined. And have supporting players in place who really help with that. Love what I'm seeing from them. They're pissed off and not complacent. "We are all JT Millers". No excuses, no bullshit....just give it everything. 1 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that the ref's had to control that game to keep it from really going out of hand, so I'm not upset that Miller got a penalty to settle things down. Just wish the league had better consistency on the game management rules. Because from team to team, game to game, I have no idea what to expect on calls like this. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're highly paid professionals too. Do better. Weak deflection from them missing the Lafferty high hit. How can you be subjective about that???? Besides....this is a "whataboutism". "What about the fact that they're human/subjective". Stick to the calls they missed without straying? Your rules. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh90 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 16 hours ago, Alflives said: Teams trying to pressure Hughes will get trapped. He’s the best passing D man in the league. We will score on off man rush chances. This is why making the playoffs is so important to player and team development. Great players need to learn how to handle pressure and adversity. Always rebuilding doesn't teach you how to win. Simply making the playoffs will be a great success for the Canucks this year. Playoff experience is critical. Hughes, Petterson etc will need to learn how to play and be successful with a target on their back. Sending another player in there to have their back and take penalties is not a recipe for success in the playoffs. Looks how many times Tampa had to lose before they learned how to win. Look at the Leafs.. and list goes on 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It was attempt a high hit heaven last night. We're lucky to get out of there without any major injuries. Who was the Buff player that got slighty clipped early on and didn't come back? I think that's where the beef started. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Just now, stawns said: Almost like refs are humans and subjective and not robots. Who knew? OK, but surely there must be a way of doing this a bit more consistently? I have no issues with the refs having to find a way to settle down the goon stuff and making the call on Miller in isolation, but other plays like when Petey got screwed in OT vs the Rangers, that stuff should be reviewable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boys have been on a bus or in an airport all day it seems. Honestly just cancel the game and give us the two points. Also start playoffs 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 18 minutes ago, Bob Long said: even if Miller had been mistakenly called for that, there's no way DOPS would have given him any kind of a suspension. The head wasn't the intended point of contact. I also think Dahlin played it up a bit. Dahlin is a “drama” boy. 11.25 cap allocation for a guy who is terrible defensively and average offensively. Sabres should have traded him when he had some value. Now they’re stuck with him as their highest paid guy and leader. Will never win with his attitude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you're talking about! When they impact the game, it shouldn't be "subjective" it should be clear and concise. There's a rulebook, follow it. Winging it just doesn't fly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winging it just doesn't fly. the NHL can and should automate offside calls now. We have the tech to do it. Save the reviews for stuff like game winning goals that were scored due to a penalty. Also, drop whatever the hell they are doing on face-offs. Its ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish the league had better consistency on the game management rules. Because from team to team, game to game, I have no idea what to expect on calls like this. Here's where I have an issue. Start that early on...don't chime in after two guys on our team have been hit high (post whistle!!). Oh sure, NOW you want to settle it down...when Dahlin's crying. Seems fair (not). Anyhow, I've put my point out there and it is what it is. I'm glad our team doesn't need fair officiating to get it done....they're finding a way despite it. And it seems that they get fired up and it plays into their favour/energy when they have to do it alone without the refs making calls that they should. Lafferty deserved a call. Whatever that was, it was horseshit. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishopshodan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Samuelson... Thats why Buff was so pissed. They considered it an elbow to the head. It's what started everything. https://www.yardbarker.com/nhl/articles/amp/buffalo_sabres_mattias_samuelsson_exits_game_vs_canucks_with_upper_body_injury/s1_16958_39811552 The Buffalo Sabres announced that defenseman Mattias Samuelsson would not return to today’s matinee game against the Vancouver Canucks. Samuelsson took an elbow to the head from Canucks defenseman Filip Hronek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
