For anyone who says otherwise, suck my johnson. This game should have ended 2-1, or even better in the Sabres favor. Take off your Ruff-hating glasses, your (insert player here)-hating glasses, and see the forest through the trees - officiating cost the Buffalo Sabres this game, and inevitably, the series.

Its true that the officiating cost them the game... but regardless we had plenty of opportunities to come back and score again and we didnt... sometimes this team can not finish. But the refs were the major problem with this game.

I agree. This was disgusting.

I can't say too much since I haven't seen it yet, but based on 4 pages of Facebook updates, 30 people at the gym, and people here that NEVER talk about the officials, I think I'll agree.

Squanto... be glad you didn't watch... it was terrible... god damn refs... seriously makes you think that the game was fixed. So many calls went their way...

Great outing by our team. They did me proud tonight.

What else can I say?

I think they can still do us proud.

Remember when the oilers came back from a 3-1 deficit in the Stanley cup finals before they lost to the canes in game seven? And they did two on the road...

"Do you think Kaleta hitting Lucic was a penalty? Then Recchi hitting (someone) was a penalty. Case closed." The beginning, middle, and end of Lindy Ruff's postgame press conference.

Yeah, that was about it. Some reporter made a comment about the Sabres blowing the game and Lindy flipped on him about how they didn't blow it and then added that.

Are the officials static throughout each series? If so, I think the NHL needs to break this trend. There has to be more to this than the refs just not seeing things.

It was fucking disgraceful. Tell me HOW that penatly on McCormick was goaltender interference? And the penalty on Kaleta because of his hit on Lucic is just bush league, plain and simple. And the fact that the refs are protected by the league and not questioned by their bogus calls is infuriating. The players and coaches can't say shit about it if they don't want to get fined. Well fuck that.

I wish I was going to game five so I could bring a satchel full of rocks to throw at them. Although I don't want to get kicked out of HSBC arena?

DAYUMM... Miller was about to go off about the officiating and he stopped. "Well... Nevermind, I'll probably get fined for this."

His sarcasm was telling though.
