GDT: Sabres@Leafs 7PM TSN4

[The Hanging Jowl]

So I have to wonder at this point if the coaching strategy really is to let the other team blow their wad then the Leafs take over. I.e, rope-a-dope. Sounds so pedantic but maybe real?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Miss 5 minutes and we score three times. Do we still hate everything?

Don’t worry, the players finally overcame Babcock’s mind control..

 

[SnizzMitch]

holy **** is that goats first nhl goal

He scored his first goal like 3 season’s ago..

 

[Loosie]

Man it's too bad this game was over after the first period.

 

[sxvnert]

The fourth line always produces when Moore is on it and yet I'm sure Babs is already itching to send him back to the marlies.

 

[fahad203]

Cannot forget the save Andy made on Eichel minutes before that

 

[Macallan18]

Whatttt??

 

[saffronleaf]

30g for Matthews

 

[hamzarocks]

He scored his first goal like 3 season’s ago..

damn I have zero memory of him scoring for us ever. His most recent goal was sweet

 

[WilliamNylander]

Buffalo always feels like theyre two years away from being two years away

 

[JoeyBeans]

they'll name streets after him

 

[Loosie]

holy **** is that goats first nhl goal

It's his 3rd this season...

 

[napoleon in rags]

First periods are overrated.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

well this changed quickly. gotta clean up on the slow starts though. not gnna be good in playoffs against teams like Boston

Them playing like shit in the first period is on the players. I don’t get why Babcock gets so much blame for that. He cannot play for these guys.

 

[KIWILEAFFAN]

I am laughing my ass off at all the miserable plugs bagging this team and coach earlier on.
Games don't finish in the first or maybe they do?

 

[ablueleaf]

You just gotta believe...

Do I enjoy getting outshot and outworked this badly? No. But to know we can obliterate good teams with our offense is always comforting.

 

[Griffin76]

Was Lindholm really holding back the 4th line that badly??

 

[Muston Atthews]

Trevor Moore is like a little Hyman. I like him

 

[Pi]

Is Auston Matthews the first center in a long long time to have 3 30+ goal seasons in his ELC? Can't remember the last (Crosby was injured in his third year).

Edit: first since Malkin BUT Malkin was older as there was the lockout before he was drafted.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

30g for Matthews

He’s worth every penny. He’s just entering his prime. He’s an absolute monster.

 

[Warden of the North]

Whatttt??

Go back ten pages ot the end of the first period and see this boards attitude.

I missed 5 minute. Want to know if we still hate everything about this team.

 

[francis246]

His goal against Colorado was pretty nice too

 

[I Believe]

Moore already putting up points.

 

[Plat87]

Somebody should post quoteables from the first period LOOOOOL

 

[DarkKnight]

also this 4th line with Moore looks so much better, winning puck battles and looking nice

Absolutely!
