The doghouse
The NHL seems like a sport that’s really cool and fun, but is still working out the kinks and doesn’t fully work.

The officiating is that damn goofy

Devils are WAAAAY more mobile and agile with the puck than the Sabres. They were dominating in terms of puck handling an control on that PP they scored on.

Sabres are chasing and fishing and waving way too much of the time.

Refs suck. but this has nothing to do with how NJ has put it into a higher gear......

to be fair they're more mobile and agile than almost every team in the league. Hughes x2, Bratt, Hischier are all superb skaters

Playing down a defenseman all game will usually wear a team down.

Devils have been shitty in their own zone most of the game.

They’ve given up multiple clear breakaways and odd man rushes too.

Their goalie stopped them.

If you are looking for the difference…that is it.

IMO it's like that on purpose. I still fully believe the NHL wants this way. It's part of the NHL's love of parity and keeping games close.
