I see Vanek picked up another point on that goal.

Sabres need him healthy, that's for sure.

Does anybody actually like the instigator rule?

That's good to see.

Right now, no.

It sucks when you react to one of your teamates getting cross checked into the boards and then you pick up the extra penalty.

 

[blindbaby]

It's a horrible rule.

i dont even like it when its against another team that is fighting a canuck its just stupid

 

[blindbaby]

Same goes with that goofy rule that caused Brown to get a penalty for a hand pass.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Right now, no.

In general even, such a stupid rule.

And refs need to grow a pair and stop giving two minute boarding penalties for hits from behind. That's the only way those types of dangerous hits will stop.

Sabres looking better on the faceoffs. Steve Ott is 4 for 4 in that 1st period.

Gerbe steps.

Yeah, I'll admit I liked the result, but that is a dumb rule.

and the puck over the glass out of 100 I would say 0 are on purpose.

It shouldn't be zero tolerance; there needs to be some discretion.

100% agreement. you can clearly tell from a replay what is accident and what is not. at least I think you can

 

[IPostedWhat]

What about the penalty for putting your hand over the puck while throwing yourself over the glass?

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Sabres looking better on the faceoffs. Steve Ott is 4 for 4 in that 1st period.

Gerbe steps.

That's an area they need to pick up. I hope they have been working on it.

At the absolute minimum, they should be able to review when it is questionable if it may have deflected.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

Shit, Kaleta didn't come out for the second period.

 

[IPostedWhat]

Shit, Kaleta didn't come out for the second period.

Kaleta's a great player because he always gives 100% of himself every game, but the guy is injury prone.

 

[BOSSMANPC]

That was a pretty goal !! Great pass from Stafford ! 2-1.
