****ing refs with their noncalls on everyone except for us! Brierre gets crosschecked no call, miller gets mugged no call...what the ****!!!??

Re: Game Thread (Buf @ NYR)

Too much backing in with the defense...time to get more aggressive!

[chubluv]

Re: Game Thread (Buf @ NYR)

I think they are confused. If they stay back they are getting beat. If they are aggressive then they give up the odd man rush & hope that the goalie makes the stop.
