I just quickly looked up the rule here...https://www.capfriendly.com/ltir-faq

 

If i understand the correctly, and the Sabres are $2.8 million under...his contract would give the Sabres an additional $1.3 ..can someone smarter than me confirm that?

 

And is that enough room to Fowler then? he is owed $4M this year and next...just asking

My barometer, developed over time, is how pissed would I have been if they disallowed that goal if we scored it.

 

 

You'll probably get to test that later this year, because you know they would have.

Actually the Sabres goal last night against the Canucks should not have counted, so things have evened out so far.

huh..why do you say that?

They missed the goaltender interference. Players skate (in the crease) dragged the goalie's pad and turned him. On the one reply it looked like the Sabres player avoided contact with the goalie with his upper body, but if you look closely at his skate, it's pretty clear.

 

 

1:22 into this video gives a decent look. https://www.nhl.com/video/baptistes-1st-nhl-goal/t-282865782/c-45517303

The refs, after reviewing per the coach's challenge by Vancouver, seem to think so.

 

It bodes well that the refs have more leeway in getting things right. Sure, we will be negatively impacted at times, but overall it's good for the game.

I'm not sure how you could watch that video and think that the contact did not affect the goalie? It dragged him.

Really?

 

One cost them a game and the other had no impact on the game. Is that "even" for everybody or only for people who hate the Sabres? Come on dude.

Oh so the rules only apply if the goal is a game winner? Also, you say no impact, but that got them within a goal of tying the game. What if they had scored later to tie? I don't hate the Sabres, I hate the double-standard. If my Leafs had scored that goal, I'm 100% expecting it to be called back and get why it would be.

You called it a wash. It's not a wash. It hasn't evened out. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but it hasn't.

Goal for goal it has. Or call for call it has.

Coach Bylsma: Lehner is under the weather. We'll likely call up a goalie from @AmerksHockey for tomorrow's game in Philly.

A bad luck for someone who showed signs of a drinking problem before even being drafted.

you make me laugh...signs of a drinking problem cause he had a few beers in college...Man, i should have been in AA then.

 

BTW, they both look teeny in that picture no?

Kind of I guess. For some reason I have no worries about Eichel's strength in the long run at all. I think he'll be great if he stays off the hooch. Am hopeful for Reinhart as well.

And clearly he hasn't run into many hockey players over the years. I had my share of beers with some other BU players back in my day and a picture with bud light in hand is beyond tame
