GDT: Leafs @ Sabres - 7pm

[leaffaninvancouver]

Woll has looked good, need a better effort in the second though. At what point do you think people will realize we actually have a pretty good team defence.

 

[Havoc]

He killed that end play by pulling an engvall and passing to absolutely no one

lmao I was originally going to write "what in the engvall did dahlin just do?" but settled with Dahlin stinks.

 

[Paradoc]

Woll was great. The rest of the team really suck that period.

 

[ULF_55]

Has Engvall had a good game since opening night? Lately he's not even capable of having good shifts

I wish Engvall was to blame for this debacle.

Well they do say it takes a team to really no-show.

They are extremely lucky to be tied.

 

[2 Slick]

I know people are like we are so good defensively this year

Are we though?

No, we're not.

They've had a few good games defensively, but much of it has been solid goaltending from Campbell.

 

[MattySnipes]

I wish these guys would have had the decency to show up and put in an honest effort for their goalie making his NHL debut. Not much to say other than this period has been unacceptable score aside.

Sometimes you really want to, but your legs arent there yet. It's natural. Sure as fans its frustrating. Glad still only 1-1. Anyone game. Rmbr its B2B too.

 

[therealkoho]

Getting outshot by triple against a bottom feeder team with a trash goaltender and period almost over and they have 4 shots on net... What else can you say?

Kampf has a 25% shooting percentage

 

[Polaris1010]

Actually I thought the Leafs played pretty well since I turned on the TV midway through the period.

They did not give up much.

Playing back to back, one period of the second game will be a dud.

 

[Notsince67]

Seriously. What did Marner do to Keefe that he has had the anchor named Ritchie strapped to him for a good portion of this years games?

 

[hfman]

If Leafs do not win this fairly easily then they have reason to doubt their playoff future success...

nah it doesn't make a difference. when they play in Buffalo all they do is lose. even if the Leafs win a cup they will still have lost every regular season game that season when playing in Buffalo



32-80 record over 50 years says so

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Boys are sleepy. Which is super unfortunate given it’s woll’s fist game. If they keep it close after two though they have a good chance to win still

 

[Not My Tempo]

Did we make two complete tape to tape passes in a row that entire period?

 

[Polaris1010]

Last minute of the period.

Rielly cheating, almost gets caught making a bad pinch again.

 

[2 Slick]

They are extremely lucky to be tied.

Leafs were outshot 13 to 5 and most of those weren't even on Buffalo's powerplays.

I get that they played last night, but this goes beyond a slow start, they were awful the entire period. The only thing that looked good was their penalty kill.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

If only Woll was doing his job and looking at the puck on that goal

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Did we make two complete tape to tape passes in a row that entire period?

We had great passing on that first PK.

 

[DarkKnight]

Was going to watch intermission…said nobody anymore.

 

[PromisedLand]

Seriously. What did Marner do to Keefe that he has had the anchor named Ritchie strapped to him for a good portion of this years games?

two 11 AAV players on that line cannot carry a Ritchie then there is a problem with the other 2 not Ritchie

 

[Aashir]

Seriously. What did Marner do to Keefe that he has had the anchor named Ritchie strapped to him for a good portion of this years games?

At least ritchies been better the last 2-3 games…. He’s only a partial anchor now….. before this he was an absolute black hole

 

[therealkoho]

Good McTavish is on I needed a nap

 

[Teeder Keon]

I wish these guys would have had the decency to show up and put in an honest effort for their goalie making his NHL debut. Not much to say other than this period has been unacceptable score aside.

I’m glad you mentioned this ….
You are so correct here !
In my opinion , this example and others like that ( JT game ) etc are reflections that are far too often not brought up ..
This is unacceptable and should never happen , ever
Win or loose , your character has to prevail in these situations, we fail at these markers
Cup contenders seem to always rise to these occasions

 

[shaner8989]

Disgraceful period

 

[fahad203]

Craig McTavish couldn't be anymore of an Oilers fan

Yes, that was a missed call. You get 10 of them a night. What's the problem here?

 

[93gilmour93]

Was going to watch intermission…said nobody anymore.

Hahaha. I’m always out of the room during Sportsnet intermissions. So awful if it’s not Friedman with rumours from around the league

 

[Havoc]

Impressed by Woll. Nice calm saves. That bounce off the board even fools veterans so can't really hold it against him.
