GDT: Sabres @ Leafs

[Leaf Rocket]

I do want the Leafs to win to keep Boston and Tampa at bay for home ice advantage.

I dont think home ice advantage will matter as much this time around tbh...just my opinion though.

We've come this far, may as well try to set a few new Leaf records. The boys deserve that.

At home: BUF, WSH, NYI, PHI, DET, BOS
On road: OTT, TBL, FLA, WSH

I think hitting the most points, wins and home wins are easily achievable. Away wins might be tight.

Does anyone know who is the backup goalie tonight?

Does anyone know who is the backup goalie tonight?

Probably Hutchinson.

Believe it’s Hutchinson

If it gets to a game 7, I think it matters a lot.

 

[Sypher04]

I’m thinking 6-2 Leafs

Matthews with 3 goals and 2 assists

Marner with 4 helpers

Bunting breaks his slump

Maybe...this year has been so competitive in the east...it feels like it's just the team game who does the best.

Probably Hutchinson.

Leafs need to find a goalie in the summer. I am not committing to Jack. Seems like he is injury prone, can not handle a full starter’s load.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

If he plays well in the playoffs Im fine with bringing him back
what other options are available anyways?
I actually wouldnt mind bringing in Blackwood if NJ is really going to trade him

Well the advantage of all of this is...easier renegotiation tbh. I do agree with you though we need to find something in the off-season, I am assuming the price in the trade deadline or this season was too much for us to pay for.

I am always curious on what Tavares does when he sees Okposo, I know they are super close.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Granato has some good input on Matthews and the rivalry between the Sabres and Leafs.

 

[The Missing Piece]

Buffalol

 

[notbias]

Who is the GMs job to figure out.

He figured out that the price was too high and I agree.

We are having our best season in a long while but its funny how divided our fanbase is when we lose a game. Playoffs need to come soon.

I know Matthews wants 70, but I dislike he missed practice then Keefe says "it appears he will be ok to play". If he is battling something, why not rest him here tonight? No one gives a shit if he scores 70 if they are out in round 1. Eyes on the prize boys.

It's likely a cold or something, lot's of that going around.

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet but Matthews will probably be the 2nd Leaf to hit 100 points tonight since Daryl Sittler 46 years ago.

And Marner will be there shortly after.

And Marner will be there shortly after. Sure won't take another 46 years to have it happen again.

You forget about the 90's?

That's an amazing accomplishment

Lol how could I insult Dougy Gilmour like that

 

[Smif]

I think Dougie holds the record as a Leaf if I'm not mistaken.

It'll be cool to see if Marner and or Matthews can beat it one year!

we are certainly lucky to have two players to pull it off at the same time.

Does not apply to the Toronto Maple Leafs lol. We seem to play better on the road in high pressure games anyways.
