Correct, however it does say a goalie can stand their ground after playing the puck. It falls on the forward to go around the goalie. Being that Dell didn't step out on him and contact was made, how is this an illegal check or interference is what I'm asking.
- QuinnFan


It wasn't a penalty or worth a hearing. The NHL is pathetic when it comes to some of these rulings. It's going to become a on skates soccer league. What's even more interesting is Dell is keeping the statement alive that goalies have been by far the toughest guys on this team.

Do you need to see more out of Gabe Davis?

just wondering what he's done to place him at the top of the list...and wondering how the player known as "2022 lottery pick" automatically gets slotted number two...

does not compute

I skipped over the specifics of the post, I too disagree with the assumptions. Or rather would let things play out, I guess.

Imagine the Sabres getting Shane Wright and he plays like Lafreniere his rookie season and everyone is (frank)ing butthurt about it

How to Identify a Bandwagon Fan


Ever notice how people "suddenly" become fans of teams that are performing well? Do you ever wonder if they are "real fans" like they claim to be? Or do you wonder if they're just bandwagon fans? Bandwagon fans are defined as sports fans who have shown no loyalty to a team, and who only support them when they are doing well. While people may not admit to being bandwagon fans, there are easy ways to spot them

I am hoping Hodgins can finally stay healthy, kid looked better than Davis before getting hurt in Camp. That would be 2 fantastic later picks

connolly jumped right into the league as an 18 yr. old, fifth-overall pick
mitts came into the league as a 19 yr. old, eighth-overall pick

in hindsight, neither were really ready to make that jump...

there is no concrete formula for saying this player picked here should be in the nhl at a definitive time...players develop at their own pace and good organizations have a good feel as to when that time is

- Michael Pachla



Hogwash.

Players should develop at the pace that HOCKEY BUZZ POSTERS SET FORTH, MOR-AN!!

I'm almost glad that the nation spent 20 years bashing the Bills and therefore makes it difficult for those people to just be Bills fans. What's even cooler is that we're a team people want to win. People love the Mafia, they love Josh Allen, and it's a very likable team. So while, there's not a lot of, well I'm a Bills fan now, there's plenty of support from other fan bases during the season and in the playoffs.

Just my POV.

Maybe Wallace to depending on who they are thinking of drafting.

I have no idea what that kid can do. I have no opinion about him. Camp is just camp. He's injury prone though. Wonder if that's a reason he dropped in the draft.

Zay Jones had the best hands in college football when he was drafted.

Sometimes it just doesn't translate.

Could be, but that year we drafted him and Davis was one of the best WR draft classes in awhile.

Do you think McKenzie might price himself right out of Buffalo? I'm thinking people around the league are taking notice now.
