GDT: Buffalo @ Toronto - 3/6/24 7PM EST - ECF Preview

[ER89]

Matthews and Marner have the night off?

Been like that for three games

 

[LeafsFan89]

Keefe gonna bench Marner and Matthews for the "increased accountability" he spoke about?

 

[Confucius]

Sammy with his own style

Unless they have the flu… who knows.

 

[ULF_55]

So is Buffalo playoffs bound?

Don't look as dumb.

 

[Leaffan1991]

physically mentally he's not there tonight. as Menzinger pointed out likely fighting with the flu bug. definitely seems sluggish.

Hopefully that's the case for all of them

 

[Rare Jewel]

If you're looking to get drunk quickly, take a shot every time Samsonov gives a rebound.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

 

[Larcos_Unal]

AM way too soft down low

 

[Evilhomer]

Exactly. That was one of the most dominating playoff performances we've seen in decades, I find it hard to believe anyone would question that they were the best team. I mean if the regular season is all that matters and you ignore playoffs completely, OK then but as I said earlier, there's maybe 6 people in the world who look at it that way and that's fine.

I do remember that no one really expected to them to roll through teams the way they did. But this is an interesting article: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1972354

I guess he's been fighting it for the last week+ then.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Matthews sleepy

 

[WTFMAN99]

I'm really hoping the top dogs on this team are just sick / have the flu.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Stop with the excuses.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

How many games has it been that Matthews has been MIA now? All Hart talks are kinda dead with him going ice cold lol

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Do they have the flu or the Buffalo flu.

It's amazing how far they've made it as professional athletes with this level of competitive drive. You'd never know how badly they were embarrassed by this team from watching them

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Holy hell Auston looks bad

 

[leafsfan5]

Matthews' line in playoff mode

 

[Aashir]

First line needs to start doing something

 

[DarkKnight]

I'm really hoping the top dogs on this team are just sick / have the flu.

It seems something is off with them for sure, but who knows.

 

[frizzer1]

When Matthews and Marner look so off you know they must be sick.

 

[PromisedLand]

TNT broadcast saying "not enough room out there for Matthews line tonight so far"

and I am like: well duh.... when there is no time and space Matthews-Marner are worse than beer leaguers

 

[Evilhomer]

Because they are not really that good

Yet I bet they outplay Boston on Thursday night. I think they just care about tonight's game about as much as the rest of us. They are human. That doesn't make it better, but it's all I got.

 

[Confucius]

What did he have 10 goals in 5 games, given time everything evens out.
