[Open Thread] Buffalo Sabres @ Ottawa Senators

How do they miss the call on Lapointe.  He stuck his leg out and tripped Roy.

What a play by Max.  He has been criticized harshly, mostly warranted but comes through in the clutch.

should be thrown out for that cheap hit to the back of the head.  What a ridiculous thing to do.  I literally wish someone would take him out for good.

Chris Neil deserves a game misconduct for that, that is ridiculous that he gets away with that kinda stuff game in and game out against Buffalo.  I dont know if he's the same way against the other teams in the league or not.  Punching someone from behind when he wasnt even involved.  So ridiculous.

of this game.  It is definitely entertaining if nothing else.

17-9 in favor of Buffalo.  I think Buffalo played pretty well for most of Tuesday night but tonight seems different.  It seems like they are really getting to Ottawa mentally.  That being said they need to get more good scoring chances and put them away.

how do we let that happen?  Who was supposed to be covering him?

It's unacceptable to take a too many men penalty at this point of the game and season.  They need to kill this!

got away with a trip at the end of that play.  

I guess we are even on the posts now.  We could have really used that one.

I hope the game isn't turning...how does the ref miss that...that is awful.

That seems like bullshit

Do you call a dive on a guy who is trying to keep the puck in the zone.  That is absolutely ridiculous.  That referee should be completely ashamed of himself for having a determining factor in this game.

It would be nice to have Roy on this power play right now.

he got lucky on that one!

How do you do that twice in one game.  A game of this magnitude nonetheless.

It wasn't as good as the first period that's for sure.  They need to really step up now.  Boston is in the lead they need to keep pace.  The schedule is not favorable for Boston and Philly.

We have the 3rd period for the season...if that cant pull this off, its pretty much officially over right?  Good thing baseball is starting, however, April wont be as fun as it has the past two years.

Roy can't buy a call

If the power play has anything in it they need it now.

Had to take him out of the play...didnt...what do you know

try this power play thing again.  They need one quick.

for Gaustad

Gaustad!!!!! What a great shift by Buffalo!

I can't believe they didn't call that

They honestly should be fined their game checks for this game.  This is amateurish officiating.

Here is Miller's chance to be the hero

Wow

We really needed that win!!

Big game tomorrow now...gonna be rough
