Thought I'd get this going here. Nothing fancy. I'll leave that to whoever does the GDT.

f***ing Anderson is probably in and always seems to play well against us.

I am curious - will this game happen?

Buffalo is expected to get 7 feet of snow tomorrow lol

If they were smart, they probably arrived here directly from Ottawa.

Apparently they were already leaving on a bus to Toronto. Yup they're going to get a lot of snow.

This "should" be a win but we know how that goes... especially with Buffalo.

Title tricked me, thought it was in Buffalo. If it's in Toronto we should be good to go!

Anderson plays well against everybody

Is this comment directed towards Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen? If so, he's 1 of the top goalie prospects in the world. Top 5-10.

I'll switch it

Time for Engvall to sit and ponder life for a few games. As a proud supporter of his last year I’m shocked with how terrible he’s been this year without any hint of improvement the last couple games.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Feels great to know that every player on the team is playing so well you can't justify taking anyone out for a game

 

[Burnie97]

Oh boy. Didn't realize that. How about take aways?

That's brutal though. Need to clean that up.

He, ukko-pekka is fantastic yeah sire... He played awwsome last season. This season the sabres have guared him a bit, as its supposed to. He finna be one of the best goalies in the league, like Miller was back then.

This sarcasm or the forwards really playing this well?

Haven't caught a game in like past 2 weeks so not sure how we're playing as while

The Teams getting pts which is nice tohugh

It was more a shot at how weak the roster looks. I technically do know most of them, but it's not a roster full of well known players.

I've been wondering, is there a stat on unforced turnovers? I would bet we are leading the league in that category too! It's one thing when the other team is pressuring you and a mistake is made, it is another when it is self inflicted.

Either way, not at all surprised by this stat.

Generally true, though I would argue you could take Engvall out.

This isn't the horrible stat you make it out to be as not all giveaways are created equally. It typically means you possess the puck alot.

Take the Top 5 overall in the NHL for giveaways.

Pastrnak
Guhle (odd)
Kucherov
Marner
Draisaitl

Next 2 are Erik Karlsson and Auston Matthews.

Engvall plays the game well.

I don't mean hockey, I mean the getting paid game. He'll turn the jets on in the 2nd half of the season to warrant another couple million payday. And will also take the playoffs off, but that's basically a given for him.

We lead the league in giveaways because just possess the puck so god dang much?

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

I was being sarcastic. They're one of the worst teams in the league at scoring 5v5

 

[hamzarocks]

Ah true, PP/PK carrying then for now

Leafs are a strong 5v5 team historically so likely PP/PK isn't as good but 5v5 takes off

Can't turn the puck over if you never have it

What exactly is Engvall doing?

Oh boy. Didn't realize that. How about take aways?

Keefe refuses to have this team repair their obvious flaws. So many repeated basic mistakes.

On the flip side - Vegas has the puck almost all the time and have almost 100 less giveaways than us!

But it's a fine thesis that Isaac Nootin fella has.

Taking home a $2.25M contract.

Dubas would looked like an idiot if he's not a regular in the lineup, so he stays no matter what.

Damn mayne... that guhle is a weird one for surely. Wonder if some sort of an fix has been in....? I'm bout that possession gezame too! Joe thornton used to have a lot of giveaways too.

 

[Niagara Bill]

We could get run out of the rink...I hope not...but Sabres have energy, and we do not
