——— Sports Don’t Get Me Started Here we go again If you are not aware, the playoff season is around us. The NHL, NBA, and scores of other leagues are in the early stages of their playoff schedule. And as always the playoffs produce controversy and heartbreak. But if you are a Buffalo Sabres fan, each play off run produces both. For those of you not familiar with hockey and the plight of the Sabres, let me enlighten you. In the past, the Sabres were always on the outside looking in during the playoffs. Al though they had some talented squads during those years, the Sabres never made too much noise in the playoffs. But with a new facility and a new owner, the hopes were to capture Lord Stanley’s cup and build a NHL dy nasty in Buffalo. Although these hopes have not been fulfilled as of yet, the Sabres had a realistic shot at Frostburg Pitt-Bradford Penn State Behrend Pitt-Greensburg La Roche D'Youville Pitt-Bradford Frostburg Frostburg April 13 April 13 April 15 :oming Games April 20 AMCC Tournament TBA April 21 AMCC Tournament TBA Upcoming Games April 25 @ Grove City 1:00 p.m. April 21 AMCC Tourney April 27 @ Fredonia w/JV 3:00 p.m April 26 @ Bethany April 29 @ Pitt-Bradford 1:00 p.m April 27 @ Grove City Penn State Altoona Frostburg Penn State Behrend Pitt-Greensburg Pitt-Bradford La Roche Lake Erie Week in Review April 15 @ Frostburg 0-9 L @ Frostburg 2-7 L April 16 @ P.S.

The team didn’t have the firepower of Detroit or a true superstar amongst their ranks, but the Sabres somehow managed to make it into the Stanley Cup finals last season. With the world’s best goalie, Dominic Hasek, between the pipes and the underdog momentum the Sa bres hoped to bring the Cup to Buf falo for the first time.

With the score tied the game moved into over time, and it looked like the Finals would move to a game seven. Then it happened. Somehow Dal las Stars forward Brett Hull managed to get the puck, and he Hung it past Sabres goaltender Hasek. Before the fans had time to stop gasping for air, the Stanley Cup was brought onto the ice and the Dallas celebration began. The question that still looms is, should Hull’s goal been allowed? Video replay clearly showed that Bret Hull’s skate was in the goal crease, a violation of the rules that should re sult in the waiving off of the goal. But replay never was used and the goal stood, as the Sabres felt the opportu nity to claim Lord Stanley’s cup slip .L (14'J 5) Men’s Results Team Results 11-11 9-4 14-15 9-5 6-8 5-7 3-14 2-8 0-8 0-8 I.

But the crimes against the Sabres continue. During game two of this year’s rendition of the Stanley Cup fi nals, the Sabres were slapped with another refereeing miscue that cost them the game. In contrast to Hull’s goal last year, which actually went into the net, the goal scored by the Flyers’ John LeClair during game two went through the side of the net. LeClai r 's goal should have been called off be cause it never went in the goal. A key component of scoring a goal is to ac tually get the puck in the front of the net.

April 21, 2000, The Behrend Beacon, page 13 that key component isn’t as important as it formerly was. Video review conclusively showed that the puck went through the side of the net, but due to a missing cam era angle the video judges could not rule that the goal be waived off. The NHL could not rule on the goal because it did not have access to the ESPN camera that is located inside the net. This miscue cost the Sabres the game and resulted in another scandal for the NHL. Now 1 realize that if the Sabres could actually score some goals once in a while, these issues would not be discussed. But that isn’t the point. The point is that the NHL continually botches decisions when they shouldn’t. In addition to that, the NHL passes down inconsistent judgements on player penalties which demon- 3:23.93* Behrend 6-4.5 Behrend 5-6 Hamillon2l-01.25 Behrend 19-07.50 Alfred St 42-00.75 Behrend 40-0 Behrend 38-02.75 Roehest. 13-03 Behrend 10-03.50 Aired St 43-10.75 Behrend 42-03.25* Behrend 33-10 144-01 131-03 108-07 101-06 Geneseo Behrend Behrend Behrend Rochesl 174-01* 159-02 148-04 144-02 Behrend Behrend Behrend Behrend The Beacon is looking for a website editor for next year.
