I'd hate to sound like a broken record, but damn, I think the ref's had money on that game, too. There should have been 3 penalties on the Devils.

[pyrrhonist]

It's been an unfortunate pattern in nearly every game now. I swear by Boynton's comments being what ruined the officiating in every Sabres game since. It's like their swallowing their whistles every damn game. :down:

The refs were paid off without a doubt, complete bull**** up and down the ice!
...and briere gets suspended for an accidental high stick while falling?? come on, get ****ing real!! no wonder why were doing so poorly, its us against the world.
