People take a page out of Marrone's quote book:

Don't confuse effort for results.

Some of the responses I get from people are just delusional. I can see that people are still drinking the kool aid.

 

[Ron C.]

This is the first game I have watched in a while; a couple observations:

This team is no different under Nolan. Still don't play a full game and passing is not NHL caliber.

What the heck is Nolan doing with Foligno?!?! Can you please play him more and stop with the Scott as a regular player BS.

Ott is totally worthless.

Miller is still playing on his knees.

Stafford still can't find the back of the net.

So the things I noticed, as things change, they still stay the same.

Can't wait till Nolan and a bunch of these crap players are gone.

Also, where the heck is the GM?!? Do we really plan on just losing these UFA for nothing at the end of the season?!?

That was a poor period, but still better than a Rolston coached team.
Ott is worth a low 1st..I hope the Sabres take advantage of it.
Yes, Miller plays on his knees. It opens up some under crossbar shots.Still a top goaltender.
I want Stafford off this team next year.
The tank is still alive. I would not have minded squashing the Leafs and postponing the tank just one day.

 

[Paxon]

Oh, I get why you guys call it the FLO line now; watching it makes me want to kill myself.

Do you really want someone to post the difference in "results" between when Rolston was the coach and with Nolan?

Buffalo Sabres
‏@BuffaloSabres

Great to hear from all the Leafs fans tonight. Just a reminder that the Sabres & Leafs each have 4 wins in December.

Some chirps were directed towards the account.

No one's confusing anything for anything else. What "results" can you possibly expect from one of the worst rosters I've seen in my entire life?

 

[joshjull]

Yep Folgino/Leino/Omark had 2 shifts in that period, none in the last 10 minutes. I can't imagine they are all fully recovered--this might be a case of if Rochester wasn't an ocean away we might see some guys still sitting out. Nolan's short on bodies.

And the Leafs are the perfect team to take advantage of our shortened bench. They like to attack to begin with and are now getting the time and space to do just that.

No, please don't. It won't make a bit of difference.

Ott is worth a low 1st..I hope the Sabres take advantage of it.

He's basically invisible right now, and the puck hits his stick and meets an untimely death every time. His physical play has vanished completely. Take the first and run.

Put the C on Ellis if you need a guy who "tries real hard or whatever" to wear it.

Short, to the point, and quite accurate.

You really meant sitting it out?

I will be quite upset if they re-sign him before the deadline for $4m-$5m.

Otter takes out Bernier

 

[machpo]

bernier lying down like he was shot was just a ruse to get a whistle.

I think his leg twisted a bit based on how his pad was facing Ott's body at an angle before the collision.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Did Omark even move there? Yeesh

 

[couture23]

Is Phaneuf really upset over Ott hitting Bernier by accident?

Grow up you baby.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Good play by ott in the slot

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Did Omark even move there? Yeesh

Gotta think he's still feeling the effects of the flu.

 

[BUCKSHOT]

Hank just got physical !?!

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Hank just got physical !?!

Pretty sure that's not the first time. Lilja and Huselius can confirm that though.

 

[joshjull]

Gotta think he's still feeling the effects of the flu.

With that in mind, Foligno looked like he was in slow motion just now. Yikes

 

[Matte99]

Omark looks horrible... never seen him play so bad ever... very disapointing

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Yeah, they need to just stay on the bench, all three of them can't move at all.

I'm expecting a BUF PP here soon...

 

[TheWarriorSwe]

Yea agreed. Probably still the flu, but still.. gotta do better with the oppertunities!
