OFFICIAL '08-'09 BUFFALO SABRES SEASON THREAD

Was it called a goal on the ice? I didn’t catch it and since the vrs crew likes to ramble about nothing I never found out.

Tough to tell from that angle guys, the versus angle is above and cocked.

The ref at ice level was standing right there and called it good goal, when it goes to Toronto it is pretty damn hard to overturn that unless they are totally sure.

I’d personally like to see crosby take a puck to the face…

apparently it was…

Ugh, that channel is such dogshit.

They don’t even call the play, they just tell us about thomas vaneks frozen four days, and then they bow down to crosby.

I’d personally like to see crosby take a puck to the face…

me 2, hockey in this town is killing me

Until they can show the magic camera angle that shows that his stick wasn’t above the crossbar I call this another gift from the NHL.

You know it doesn’t help the league not to have a “superstar” get the overtime game winner. Fucking douchbags.

I never understood why they dont have better camara angle…like one in the cross bar pointing straight down…to catch those “On the Line” goals. One maybe at net height where the goal judge is.

so i refused to watch the game because it was crosby on VS… and sure enough check the highlights this morning to see crosby given a goal on a highstick. typical…

Someone fell off the escalator on the 100 level pavilion 60 feet into a concession stand…

im just glad i was driving to and from rochester last night, so i listened to RJ, but i did catch the 3rd and ot on tv, but kept that on mute.

that goal was def close, but either way, i’d love to see if it was somebody else, or even another team… how they would call that.

you know the answer to that skunk…it’d be disallowed lol

lol prob

It was a good goal…just read the rulebook guys.

Rule 27.4 b"Any puck directed into the opposition’s goal by an attacking players stick, by intentional redirection or by accidental deflection, with the point of contact of the stick and the puck about the crossbar of the goal, shall be deemed an illegal goal and disallowed."
Rule 27.4 b1 “Unless that stick belongs to or is being held by Sidney Crosby, Savior Of The National Hockey League.”

I found this rule also while scanning through the book, thought it was interesting.

Duh…
Rule 31.6 c, “Punching opposing players “in the boys” shall be penalized as a roughing minor or intent to injure, groos misconduct, depending upon the severity of the blow, unless you are Sidney Crosby, who may take more liberties than a Catholic Priest.”

:rofl:

I found an interesting rule too…

53.1 Throwing Equipment - A player, including the goalkeeper, shall not throw a stick or any other object in any zone.

53.1a Exceptions - Only in a temper tantrum, compaining the entire game to the referees that the other players keep touching him, Sidney Crosby may throw his gloves on the ground while stomping up and down. This is a show of entertainment and is deemed an exception to rule 53.1.

god i wish those weren’t jokes…

the best part is that the ref clarified what happened by saying that the puck didn’t even deflect off a player’s stick after the review.

good game

never heard so many whiners. maybe if miller stopped more than 4 shots out of 22, they would have had a chance.

God you are an idiot, that doesn’t even make sense. Maybe you should stick to things you know, like shoving food down your fat throat.

He did… the last two games where he let in only ONE goal out of 80 shots.

Every game is not the same. Miller played very very well in yesterdays game! Pucks go towards the net, and they go in… every game…

I’m just sick and tired of hearing “Crosby crosby crosby crosby crosby… crosby crosby… CROSBY!” every fucking day! He’s not THAT great… (he’s good, yes, but not worth the constant attention of everyone) and when I’m watching a game with Toronto vs. the Sabres, the last thing I want to hear is an announcer say “If Crosby was in this game, the Leafs would be winning by two more points” F()@ I’m sick of hearing his name when the two teams playing don’t even have him there!
