Were we screwed out of the game? Yeah, probably. Have the refs been trying to give games to the Sabres? No.
While the reffing on that 1 play where Isbister was incorrectly (or softly if you will) called for goaltending interference to disallow a goal was horrid, the reffing en masse was actually quite good. Although I couldnt see the Betts penalty on replay, I will trust that it was a good call because I feel theyve made some good calls all game long.
Were both Sabres goals legit? Absolutely. They played well for those 2 plays and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Thats what good teams do, and nobody has ever said they arent a good team.
Now all we have to do is be the 1. By being the 1, I am talking about being the approximately 1 in 5 teams that lose a game 5 that come back to win a series. Its possible, but its unlikely. Either way, how can you not be proud of these guys? Win or lose they give you everything they have, they never say die, and they are classy as classy can be (sans Avery). I look forward to game 6, but more importantly for me, I smile at the bright future ahead of us.
