GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Buffalo Sabres Preseason Game #3

[notDatsyuk]

I was looking forward to this game until I saw the 2 lineups-neither team is playing their stars.

Preseason rule #1 - play your A players at home, and as many of your B players as possible on the road.

St Thomas is not 'home' to either team. Therefore, both teams will send their B group.

They said he has some type of minor injury

Thanks...now I remember seeing something about this before camp started.

RE: Samsonov I just think it is related to sports science. I think they are expecting Sammy to start as close to 50 games as possible this year. Similar to Tavares, I think they are letting him get reps in practice but waiting to ramp up the work load a while longer. He likely doesn't need more than 2 games to feel the puck during games and get back into it. Why start him 5 games that don't matter?

He better start 50, hell he needs to start 55, we need to KNOW he's a #1 42 games doesn't cut it.

I don’t think this game was going to be on tv but it now shows on NHL Network. Good

It'll be on Sportsnet

 

[Nineteen67]

It'll be on Sportsnet

Sportsnet? Yuck! I’m sure they’ll have the Buffalo MSG feed.

But if you want to watch the Leafs feed you have to stream that in the US which I hate because it’s hard to switch between games.

Isn't the Max Power way the wrong way?

It's the Kraftsville winner game so it'll probably be the regular Sportsnet broadcast crew I believe

I forgot about that. Buffalo probably won’t send a crew. One can always turn the sound down.

Hopefully Robertson pots one or two tonight. Dude has been great at getting himself chances but has done f*** all with them.

Both Buffalo games have been using the Caps and the Bruins feed so far. I’m sure the MSG feed will be using the Sportsnet one. And even if it was the Buffalo calling it, they stay in Buffalo and call off monitors anyway

Hasn't shown much to be excited about really. Hoping for a lighting in a bottle with any goalie, like any goalie
We haven't had luck with any goalie prospect for like long long time now. Like really long time. Probably not since Potvin

I had high hopes for Fichaud. I tried to get every card of his that I could.

Yes but faster!

I badly want him to be something but he just rarely delivers.

I used to love Watching Sabres Games on the Empire channel back in the day, I loved Rick Jeanneret he was my Fav Announcer, sure gonna miss him

 

[DarkKnight]

These kids actually have me excited to watch preseason. Who knew.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Country Jesus getting things started

 

[Zacman]

Sending Tavares to St. Thomas seems like a slap to the face.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Can we get a live thread?

 

[DarkKnight]

Holy shit I could go for some Hall and Oates right now. My ears are bleeding.

 

[PromisedLand]

drop the puck ffs

 

[DarkKnight]

Love how close the cameras are, can see the detail.

 

[DarkKnight]

Great start for Minten.
