To the Flyers fan that said a hockey stop is still a kicking motion you need to understand the rule better because without a distinct kicking motion a puck can go off the skate.

From a flyers perspective.

1. Dead legs were fairly obvious over the 3 period.
2. Bryz played solid, not sure what he could have done on any of the goals but I am sure that other Flyers fans, 2Real, will blame him for everything.
3. That Giroux shot was a great shot and Im not sure any goalie could have saved it.
4. The Flyers had 2 goals disallowed that you could make a case should have been allowed.
5. Dont really think the Hartnell interference on Miller was a legit call given the fact that Myers hit him into Miller..

No point in crying about it though, it's a long season..uh wait, not its not =(

I can agree with this. Nice to see some objectivity out of a Flyer fan.

Couple sketchy call in the game, The first goal you guys had disallowed still baffles me. It helped the Sabres so good call.

That Giroux shot was phenominal. Far post right in the top corner. No one saves that shot.

Yeah...

At least you guys will play some games, that's exciting.

Great game by the Buffalo Referees!

1 goal disallowed...goal was good.

1 goal allowed...should of been disallowed. Rule states a player can not push a goaltenders equipment to score a goal, plus a hockey stop is still a kick.

Shame on Vanek for spoiling Grigorenko's debu

Agreed. Philly has done some outstanding drafting in the past 3-4 years.

The sad part is that if Buffalo plays Philly in a 7 game series Philly takes 4 or 5 out of 7.

They are a solid, solid team with SICK depth at forward.

He didn't kick the glove. He slid into him.

Rules baby. It happens all year long. Deal.

EXACTLY! Thank you, rule states a player CAN NOT push any part of a goaltenders equipment to score a goal AND the flyers did not touch the puck after Hodgson push Bryz glove with HIS skate while it was covered.

I have to agree the sabres got the calls today. The sabres won the first and third period and even though they didn't look great deserved the win. This is a good sign when they are playing well it usually ends up being a good first terrible second and a great third period.

Can someone tell me about Grigorenko? I think he's a fictional character that you Sabre fans made up.
- Unholy_Forward

he played alright was not playing that much his coming out party will be vs the leafs

ZERORENKO LOOKED GREAT, HUH GARTH?!

awww, so clever. You get a cookie for this

BEFORE he kicked the glove...way to pay attention to the play Slugger.
- Glak18

So the Refs, the people looking at it in Toronto who decided it was a goal, not to mention the announcers who all said it was a good goal weren't paying attention either?

Just Flyer fans who of course arent biased at all.

So do the flyers wanna goalie ? We got three lol

cool story bro

I know it's only the first game but their passing and positioning have to be much better as well as Myers.

Blame the refs when you lose by 3. Classy.

So how do I see the opening video and introductions? Nbc didn't show it

Sucks for Philly those goals were disallowed, but that happens to every team throughout the season.

Thought we looked really rusty, couldnt receive a pass for the first 2 periods. Myers needs to start skating, he played well with his stick but could do better overall.

Hodgson and Pommer looked good, Vanek was a bit lazy on defense but still got the job done. Ott also looked much more talented than I thought he would be.

Glad that Stafford dropped the gloves, even though he lost the fight. Good start to the season.

cool story bro

I remember when people used to say that 6 years ago.

Myers was terrible for most of the game
