Sabres asleep. No idea why they're getting so much praise. They look awful.

They are surprisingly (at least to me) physical, but that is it.

For sure. I wasn't a believer. I am now.

Hamiltons celebrating other players goals is hilarious. He just freezes up, bends over a little and does a fist bump/wiggle with both hands.

[Point Blank]

Well I really think we should keep Karri Ramo, apparently he assisted without even being on ice.



Edit: darn beat me to it!

This discussion is bogus. Sports are falling in love too much with instant replay.

Coaches challenges are supposed to be used for obvious mistakes, not for an inch. It was never intended to determine whether a guys skate was an inch off the ice at the blueline or not, or if a receiver juggled the ball for a nanosecond off his fingertips. It makes it impossible for refs to ref properly as they see things in real time.

#Flames 5-1 when leading after two periods. #Sabres 2-12-2 when trailing after two.

[Your Calgary Flames!]

Hmmm I like.

[cannon7]

Granlund needs to stay with skill guys, his release is too good to waste on plugs.

Hamilton keeps the play onside, continues to impress.

[OldSam]

I can't see how an offside discussion can even take place when they can't see the fricking puck. Who has it? Colborne. Is he over the blue line? Yes. Is the puck in front of him? Probably. Discussion over. Go Flames Go!

Thank you. Offside should simply not be challengable. It's not in the spirit of the rule at all. Just creates a meaningless controversy, more interruptions in the game, and less goals. None of these things are desirable. Seriously, even in the interest of fairness, who actually cares if a player's skate is a few millimeters north of the blueline at the time of puck entry? Often, these reviews don't even concern goals scored off the rush.

Granlund has looked really good this callup and even though he is playing as a center, he is scoring from the wing. Last game Bennett came up the middle and Granlund scored from the left wing.

There is no way he should go down now Treliving.

Right, I agree. Offsides is not challengable in the NFL where everything else is- why should it be in hockey?
