weight got us into the penatly situation, but the refs sure as hell got down on their knees and blew the game there.

5/30/2006 10:43:57 PM

i think we already established the refs don't call everything, it happens and is part of the game

5/30/2006 10:44:48 PM

usually in OT, especially in the playoffs, you dont call a pentalty that doesnt directly affect a scoring chance. the call on weight was bullshit.

5/30/2006 10:46:51 PM

well the williams no call will be the main issue but it happens, oh well, these are the dramas that make sports great, win game 7

5/30/2006 10:47:30 PM

yeah but the penalty was blantant, he hit him from behind, if you don't want penalties don't do stupid shit

5/30/2006 10:48:08 PM

and the penalty called on dumont in game 5 wasn't really a penalty either so i guess were even

5/30/2006 10:48:49 PM

well it's obvious they got homefries for that game. Even when we were down we gave them so much shit to think about at the end. Good game by Buffalo, but those OT penalties while maybe not costing the game 100%, were daggers that totally went to Buffalos favor. Any northern or Canadian team will get all hussied over by the media and NHL at large but this bitch aint over yet.

I expect, no....am certain, we will see the Canes coming out on an absolute frenzy when this bitch comes back to Raleigh.

5/30/2006 10:49:15 PM

and i don't expect the sabres to bow over either, game 7 will be a good game for both teams

5/30/2006 10:51:09 PM

it will, and we better god damn win, if the canes dont pull off game 7, im getting tore the hell up.

5/30/2006 10:54:37 PM

mshaul is quick to scurry out of the woodwork with the sabres win. he hides in shame win the sabres lose. the refs did what they had to do to get it to 7 games. buffalo couldn't do it without help. they blew a 3-1 lead in game 5; refs gave them a bullshit penalty heading into OT and still couldn't get it done. they blow their lead in game 6. it took another bullshit OT penalty along with a blatant no-call to get the job done. hopefully the refs will decide to stay neutral in game 7. if they do, the canes will win.

5/30/2006 10:55:45 PM

For Buffalo's sake, they better damn play well or the sports fan in that godforsaken place can only look forward to this:



Which, well, just plain sucks

5/30/2006 10:57:49 PM

yeah and all carolina fans scurry out of the woodwork when their team makes the playoffs and then blames the refs when their team loses, its the same thing every year, come up with some new compliants or just accept the fact a team outplayed your beloved canes

5/30/2006 10:57:56 PM

Buffalo didn't have a call against them after the first period!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?!?

Our last 4 penalties....hmmm...coincidence?

I will admit we were outplayed, simple fact; but its also a simple fact the refs missed a blatant penalty that could have extended the game.

5/30/2006 10:59:33 PM

outplayed in the first period... not for the entire game.

5/30/2006 11:05:53 PM

and the 2nd really, as much as I hate to admit it

the weight play was definetly a penalty. It was a blatant penalty, in clear view for everyone in the stadium and tv land to see, it should've been called, hands down.

with that said, what a game by cam ward. He was stellar tonight. I hope the sabres can put some more of their chances in the net during game 7. What a fantastic series.

5/30/2006 11:08:46 PM

I knew the weight play was a penalty as soon as I saw it happen, but I thought that a penalty would have been called in that final play

5/30/2006 11:09:47 PM

the weight buffalo play before the goal was definetly a penalty. It was a blatant penalty, in clear view for everyone in the stadium and tv land to see, it should've been called, hands down.


the weight penalty didn't hurt. no doubts they would have killed that except for the no-call. buffalo hadn't scored on a power play in forever (seemed like forever)

5/30/2006 11:14:14 PM

5/30/2006 11:16:17 PM

there were a bunch a missed calls for both teams. Canes need to come up with more energy in the first period. Williams was hooked or pulled down on a hold by briere which freed him up for the shot that was almost stopped by Cam.

I just feel that its us vs the entire hockey world. Everybody is rooting for Buffalo, since it is a Northern town. I don't understand how Florida hockey teams are ok but a team in North Carolina is not worthy of hockey.

5/30/2006 11:18:14 PM

The only reason that Weight's hit was a penalty was because of the way that guy fell down. He was close enought to the boards that it wasnt a dangerous hit and he did not hit him straight from behind. Hell....he didnt even get a good lick on him...just kinda stuck out his ass and hit him sideways. I mean call it boarding if you want to, but I call it stupid fag couldnt stay on his feet. It had no effect on the play either, where the no-call later was total bullshit and had an immediate impact on the play....costing us the game.

5/30/2006 11:20:31 PM

me either

"It had no effect on the play either"

Which is why Weight hitting him from behind in the first place was unnecessary. He probably went down a little easy, but the main thing in my mind was there was no need to hit him.

just my opinion.

[Edited on May 30, 2006 at 11:30 PM. Reason : a]

5/30/2006 11:29:59 PM

what officially is boarding? From the calls that I have seen all season i interpreted it as a hit from behind with the intent to injure.

yeah bad calls are part of the game.. they go both ways hopefully.

We all know that when your back is against the wall it is mentally draining. This is why game 5's wins are so important. yeah they barely forced game 7. But this series has been relatively even matched all over the ice no matter the score. I think that we will come out ready to play and they will either bring it or they wont. if we can get some puck movement and some pucks in on miller. It won't matter if we have to kill a penalty...

ps i was there for the game 5 winner.. nice!

5/30/2006 11:44:58 PM

Officially, boarding is hitting someone who is facing the boards, but far enough away that they're defenseless from the standpoint of cushioning the hit.

I WONDER WHAT INJURED HURRICANE ERIK COLE THINKS OF BOARDING CALLS AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER THAT CAN RESULT FROM BOARDING

HMMMMMMMMMMM

5/31/2006 4:49:37 AM

i think he would say that the weight hit wasn't boarding

5/31/2006 8:04:01 AM

So i guess when you guys win, the refs are just doing their jobs

5/31/2006 9:25:47 AM

It can't be boarding if the guy isn't hit in the "boards"

He was hit to the ice, that is not boarding

5/31/2006 9:34:12 AM

Weight made a mental mistake. It was going to be called to make up for the Dumont penalty in Raleigh. If you think Briere didn't get away with a hook that led to his goal your crazy.

5/31/2006 9:34:24 AM

The refs missed good calls and made shitty calls both ways through the whole game. Was that last no-call important? Well, if they make it play stops instead of the game-winning goal, so yeah. It was a shitty no-call on a night with non-biased but very shitty officiating. It just happened to be more poorly timed than the rest.

Everyone except me predicted 7 games anyway, so why the bitching? You get to be right.

'Canes have this thing. They do.

they made a bullshit hooking call on dumont in game 5, that led stillman's game winning goal

5/31/2006 4:31:55 PM

No. The Dumont hook was marginal, just like Weight's board was marginal.

There was no uncalled penalty on the Canes that cancelled a clear and opened up lanes for Stillman to score.

it didn't cause the goal, your players could have blocked it or cam ward could have made the save

5/31/2006 7:37:07 PM

no, sorry mASSHAT, when briere hooked, two guys went down, and I believe only one got up in time, so therefore on top of already being short a man, we had another that was indispose, im pretty sure that led to the goal.

5/31/2006 7:43:56 PM

Ruff has been calling the Canes "arrogant" all damn day to the media.. I really fucking hate that guy.

5/31/2006 7:59:41 PM

the fact of the matter is briere was just feathering the puck towards the net, didn't hit it hard and you goalie couldn't grab the puck, he tried and let the puck by so if you want to blame someone, try looking at your own players before you blame the refs, you had several opportunities at the end of the game to win and miller came up big, get over it and get ready for game 7, i'll be there in support of my team, will you be there in support of yours or will you be talking shit on this message board all night long?

5/31/2006 8:07:35 PM

the fact of the matter is,

"briere was just feathering the puck towards the net, didn't hit it hard and you goalie couldn't grab the puck, he tried and let the puck by"

would have never happened if the refs would have done their jobs. you can't slice it any other way.

5/31/2006 8:11:53 PM

^^^ Ruff is the arrogant one, he pretty much guaranteed a game 6 victory, and he came mighty close to not getting it if not for the refs
