GDT: Our Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Buffalo Sabres, March 2, 2022

[keonsbitterness]

I was once an 18 year-old phenom. Then I became the best Galaga player in the world.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

f*** off zebras

Yup, they ended up scoring on that possession too lol

 

[Nylanderthal]

Bunting doing bunting things

 

[MSZ]

I still cannot believe we are down 2-1 to Buffalo

Arizona... Montreal...

 

[Coachcorner]

The Leafs seem to be playing exactly to the level of the Sabres in effort and talent and appears like a really well contested game by two very similar teams if you ignore the jerseys.

That is also true. They want it really badly (the buffalo I mean) They want to beat this crowd.

 

[Ciao]

Not really enjoying the Rielly-Sandin pairing tonight.

Rielly seems to have no idea what Sandin is doing -- and neither do I.

I would much prefer Rielly-Brodie, and go from there.

 

[DarkKnight]

Another decent effort from Lyub.

I still cannot believe we are down 2-1 to Buffalo

You can't?

One of the teams that get the least out of their talent on too many nights.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Can’t win with 856 save percentage each game

Blame everyone else if you want but good teams have their goalie make a key save

 

[Stephen]

It appears having a really easy schedule left is actually a bad thing for us

An easy schedule isn’t necessarily a good thing. If you need a ton of points in a race, it can be a way to pick up ground. Or if your team has a certain personality they might either pick up a ton of bad habits which will burn them later, or they under perform and they have to haul ass later.

 

[ANDI P IS CUTE]

They always play down to their opponents

 

[djdev]

this line, CHANGE IT KEEFE JEEZUZ

 

[Burnie97]

these guys are trying to be wayyyyy too cute with the puck

Part of why they play bad some games against lesser opponents. Start trying fancy shit.

Almost 2 periods gone against a shit team and 14 shots. Wake the f*** up. On net. No bullshit 15 passes to try and pass into the net.

 

[Leafidelity]

Line 2 is running through Kerfoot waaaay too much

 

[Aashir]

How the hell did that beat mrazek

 

[The Kessel Run]

We’ve had so many absolute brain dead giveaways in our zone tonight. Just no attention to detail.

 

[Stephen]

That is also true. They want it really badly (the buffalo I mean) They want to beat this crowd.

This seems like a classic game for the skill to flex their abilities but nothing yet.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Goalies best friend coming through there. These guys have to wake up!!!
How is Craig Anderson turning the clock back a decade?

 

[cookie]

them's loud pings

 

[DarkKnight]

Line 2 is running through Kerfoot waaaay too much

He’s the only one who wants the puck that’s why.

 

[Aashir]

Can’t win with 856 save percentage each game

Blame everyone else if you want but good teams have their goalie make a key save

This isn’t on the goalie

we actually might be getting outplayed. Buffalo has neutered every line, even the 1st line for many shifts

 

[keonsbitterness]

They always play down to their opponents

If they really always did that, they'd be at or near the basement.

 

[saffronleaf]

team is playing like bass

 

[Maplebeasts]

Simmonds is awful and should not be on the roster. Guy can't make a friggin pass.

 

[Diver3368]

Maybe we should pick up this Anderson for the playoffs. He always plays us well.
