Pre-Game Talk: Buffalo @ Toronto - March 13th at 7:30 pm

[ThrowDemTongs]

Remember this!?

Lmao that's actually hilarious

 

[Judas Tavares]

Maybe. Unless you are one that believes you need to face your demons in order to get past them. I would hope Murray would be desperate to play against his old team and give them the finger with an outstanding game.

Also, it will be a Leaf friendly crowd in that arena. Unless those are the volatile crowd you’re talking about. Lol.

I actually didn't think about the pro-Leaf crowd in Ottawa... But knowing how much the fanbase is not big on Murray... Could be both!

 

[darrylsittler27]

Mean nothing game. Let's not get anymore injuries.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Splitting up the McCabe - Brodie pair is interesting, I guess they're trying some more stuff out. Rielly - Brodie is the ol' reliable so I guess we shall see how McCabe - Holl can gel together

I also think they really like the 4th line and it's staying for a while. When ROR returns he'll either push Tavares or Lafferty to the wing with Steeves as a placeholder atm

Getting more and more annoyed with Keefe. Seriously? Murray gets back to back starts? I guess it was his amazing .846 save percentage last night. Kerfoot still on the 1st line? Every play dies on his stick. We're getting into Babcock pigheadedness now.

It's pathetic how posters try to play coach without any intel. Maybe do a little reading - Sammy isn't at 100%

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Kerfoot tries man I'll give him that. If he could bury his chances he would be one of the most praised Leafs on the team right up there with the big 3 this year imo.

I actually don't mind giving him a bit more time on the top line. He could really do wonders there if things start to click for him.

Interesting choice of words. Been waiting for that have ya? Feel free to point out where I can do this reading. Also, Woll has played better than Murray as well. I never said it had to be Samsonov.

 

[TMLAM34]

Samsonov was relied upon heavily with Murray’s injury. Not a bad thing to give the guy some rest. Still a decent amount of regular season games left, it’s probably a good time to try and get Murray back on his game so we have two goalies playing at a good level going into the playoffs.

 

[Aashir]

Missed the Edmonton game, but goddamn Marner looked like a magician on the ice

Dude is a stud. I’m expecting him to pop off even more. Same for the rest of the team

The d pairings look like an improvement though. Just need to swap Holl and liljgrens spots

It's a good thing. We have to get Murray going.

Honestly I like the decision to play Murray. He had a bad game and needs another start to get into a bit of a rhythm. Buffalo is struggling and has some injuries so it’s a perfect chance for Murray to gain some momentum

This also gives Samsonov Wednesday versus Colorado, so we can give him a big test against a strong offense

You could have just stopped - pathetic

 

[Leaf Rocket]

He started the last game didn't he?

That's a long time between starts for Samsonov, I'd have thought they would just alternate starts between them until the next b2b

Samsonov is still recovering and is not 100% according to Keefe. They also want to give Matt more chances to get his groove going since a lot of games this week.

 

[McSnypsky]

Those should be the D pairings from here on out.

I'd try this first see how it goes

Rielly - Brodie
McCabe - Liljegren
Giordano - Schenn

 

[Tarmore]

Mind my own business...

 

[Leaffan1991]

Hopefully we call up McMann who is destroying it in the ahl.

 

[Gary Nylund]

I think you know what the answer to that question is already.

Um, no comment.

I've seen Kerfoot rip some nice shots bardown. Right now he looks like he's sexond guessing every time he touches the puck. His confidence is definitely shot atm.

You could have just stopped - pathetic

Pathetic is a bit much.

 

[Captain Crunch]

Sabres more or less out of playoff contention. Leafs cant approach this game as a gimme.

But that has always been their Achilles' heel. Let's hope they start bucking that trend.

 

[1specter]

Remember this!?

Glad someone else was thinking of this lol. Would be epic if Bunting did a golf swing

2 year suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Despite the 7-4 score, it may have been our best game this year (except Murray) He shit the bed and let in 3 absolutely horrendous goals, apart from that pure domination.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Going 11-7 hurts Bobby McMann's chances of making the team, so that can't be good

 

[Damisoph]

Remember this!?

I do remember that, and remember getting so pissed off at the time. Because I'm petty, I checked the 05-06 Sabres playoff stats and Peters didn't see the ice during those playoffs. Made me chortle a bit.
