Norris’ Ref-Related Noise Adds Heat to Sabres’ Game 7

That is the sort of pregame static coaches hate because it gives everyone an excuse to talk about the whistles instead of the details that actually decide playoff games. The Sabres already have enough pressure without adding another layer of attention, and this one is hanging over a matchup that can swing a season in one night.
