One Buffalo Sabres player has criticism of the referees after what was viewed as a questionable decision.
Sabres Forward Questions Ref Decision
Sabres Captain Kyle Okposo had criticism after his teammate was penalized against the Montreal Canadiens.
Sabres Forward Eric Robinson was ejected in yesterday's game vs Buffalo for boarding Canadiens defenseman Justin Barron, something Okposo took as a poor decision seeing as Evander Kane was not called for a similar play the day prior.

Okposo said that Robinson, newly acquired days ago from the Columbus Blue Jackets, shouldn't have been ejected when Kane wasn't given any penalty for what he viewed as the same thing.
"I don't understand how Evander Kane gets nothing last night and then there's a five minute penalty, it doesn't make any sense. It's the exact same play, there's an injury on the play.... I just don't like the consistency factor. That's a literal identical play, one with zero penalty and then one with five-and-a-game, it doesn't make any sense."
Montreal was able to capitalize following the play, scoring 2 goals that helped push the Canadiens to a 3-2 SO win against the Sabres. Okposo, quick to defend his new teammate, wasn't afraid to have words after the loss, clearly unhappy with how the call impacted the game.
