I mean he had all the rights to be angry. A horrible missed call by ref and sabres get the penalty instead

I would follow EJ into any battle.

It’s good to see he is in touch with his anger.

2nd time this week a player has got thrown out for giving the refs shit for not doing their jobs, someone is gonna end up dying on TV for them to finally take player safety seriously.

Rangers get alot of calls

Saw a similar thing with Seeler Flyers Wings on Friday. I feel like players are going to start having this reaction more and more as the officiating gets worse. Get used to it.

When the league veterans start losing their minds at the officiating, and taking matters into their own hands because the refs suck at their job, it’s time to take notice.
Also, we miss you EJ.

I legitimately believe that the players need to keep calling out the refs and the league in the media. There will be retaliation by the officials (phantom calls, or calling everything. See: Fantilli in the Leafs game after he questioned a recent game misconduct.)
Keeping calling it out.
It will become obvious that they are retaliating and it will become apparent that they are either not impartial, bad at their jobs, or both.
Keeping calling it out.

Seriously everyone is getting tired of the refs. I’ve seen more players and coaches getting pissed at them than in recent years. Not even the theatrical pissed, like actually fed up and indignant over some of the phantom calls.

He could’ve been called for interference, instigating, cross checking, roughing. Regardless of what it was he was called for, it was definitely going to be a fighting major, and a minor. The hit before this was clean, you can’t come flying across and crosscheck someone to the face to instigate a fight while a play is going on and not expect a penalty. It was the correct call. Im happy they didn’t go overboard and give another penalty for unsportsmanlike after he blew up like this

Some really important context that’s missing from the comments so far:
“Erik Johnson was still upset when I spoke to him after the OT loss.
According to Johnson, the ref told the Sabres’ bench that he was given the instigator penalty because they were complaining too much in the first period.”

Dare I say, Buffalo is not a serious franchise?
Oh EJ. We miss you in Colorado

Is only a game. Why do you has to be mads?
There are a lot of posts in this thread about Cuylle’s hit being dirty. You all are so wrong it’s embarrassing to even read. Please just stop it.
Miss u EJ
EJ is a king and a scholar with a minor in dentistry
He was right to be mad. I don’t care about the Sabres but that was some bullshit on the ref’s part.
“What are all these shenanigans?!??”
