That was a terrible call that should never have resulted in that face off.

Overall, the intensity for the Amerks was never there. They were outskated for a majority of the game, and Levi kept them in it.
No one in particular that's Sabres prospect had a good game.

Definitely annoying it ended like that. But I’ve watched the replay a number of times now and I don’t think that puck was touched. I think it was icing.
At -4:50 ish
I’d like to see a better replay though (not that it matters now, anyway)

I hate to say it but I don't think the forward touched the puck on the icing. I think he whiffed. Even on the slow motion replay it didn't look like the puck changed trajectory at all.
Either way the Amerks need to figure out what Syracuse is doing on offensive zone draws because 3 deflection goals right off faceoffs isn't acceptable.

Imagine if in the last quarter of an NFL playoff game the officials just decided they weren't going to call ANY penalties no matter how blatant. Grab a guy by the face mask and toss him to the ground? No call.
Imagine if in the last 3 innings of a MLB playoff game the umpire decided to call anything that didn't get by the pitcher a strike (besides Angel Hernandez, but you know what I mean)?
Imagine if in a cup final match a soccer referee decided to allow anything in the last 10 minutes like a guy putting the attacking forward in a headlock and slamming him to the ground in the box and not awarding the penalty?
This is why hockey is seen as a ridiculous Mickey Mouse sport one step above roller derby.

Best replay I saw was ~3:30:10 on the stream.Definitely annoying it ended like that. But I’ve watched the replay a number of times now and I don’t think that puck was touched. I think it was icing.

RIchards also wasn't hauled down at all on the breakaway right before that. He peeled off to the right boards, it was someone else who toppled over the goaltender (wasn't really helped in, either). Would have been a soft, if not downright bad, call if they had called it. By the book the Amerk falling on the goaltender's legs was more of a penalty, honestly.
That's not to say that the officating was particuarly good, but it was a loose standard and relatively consistent at least. There wasn't anything at all on the breakaway and the questioned icing looked a lot like the right call to me too.

It was very close; and because of how the game was officiated even a possibly accurate call feels wrong.

They had a few moments. Rosen had a chance early where he lost the puck. Richards could've easily won it in OT. By and large though, they didn't meet SYR's intensity. SYR is super high energy team. Gotta match it.

I don't think the standard set by the officials for calling penalties (which absolutely was lax) has anything to do with icings or offsides. The linesman's right there and can go by both sound and vision - if the puck doesn't seem to change trajectory AND the linesman can't hear the puck hit stick, it's getting called every time.
Defensive zone faceoffs shouldn't end up in your net immediately after as often as it did today. They even caught a break with the shoveling happening right after (I'm surprised they allowed that, honestly) and they had a timeout in their pocket if the guys were gassed too.

This is also a trend now. They look great in the ozone, and awful in the dzone. Time to break up this line.

If anyone here has watched the team all season is this as completely damning and alarming as it sounds because it sounds like they are one way players which is very very very bad?

I don't think it is very very bad if you use them correctly.
The big challenge is that neither guy projects to be a guy that could play down the lineup all that well. And they are loaded in the top 6.

Both have had decent results defensively at times. They really miss Brett Murray.

hell's a gigawatt?
Was there and Levi made some really big saves at key moments, but he also let in 3 goals on 18 shots.

There are reports that Imama said stuff earlier in the series and may have made a comment in the handshake line, as well.
