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

[9Iron]

Yeah I don't see the hype around Robertson either. The bursts are nice but otherwise seems ineffectual.

 

[DragoGrizzly]

I think I like Noah Gregor. It’s kind of too bad Reaves is guaranteed a spot (although I get why he was signed) because a Gregor-Kampf-Lafferty 4th line would be an incredibly fast fun checking line.

I don’t get these comments at all. He hasn’t played enough to say he’s ineffective. Do you remember what Kadri looked like early in his Leafs tenure ? And Robertson has literally missed 2 years of development.

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



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

I honestly thought we were going to hit a home run with Fichaud

At that time Quebec was producing some great goaltenders in Roy, Brodeaur, to an extent Potvin.

Really thought Fichaud, Ouellette, Kidd, Fiset would be the next waive of goaltenders

I feel like he hasn’t been effective yet, for whatever reason. I wouldn’t write him off though; he is still fairly quick, a decent playmaker and the shot is good. He’s a bit enigmatic.

NHL network is literally re-running commericials for dick pills and hair loss implants. I wonder where they get their viewership data.

Also, Kraft hockeyville. Has anyone ever cared about this?

He's only 21. Mike Cammalari wasn't a player until he was 23 and that's without dealing with injuries

Not a big deal to miss the 1st for a pre season but damn fire stick was messing up couldn't get the game on until now.

Hope Klingberg isn't really hurt. Isn't back yet.

To be fair they know Sabres fans are watching

 

[Burnie97]

Feels like a Florida game with this camera angle. At least they have a reason in this arena.

Remember back in the day when Maclean TV in ontario used to televised those high school games?

Feels very nostalgic

I don't see what Lafferty brings tbh

 

[fahad203]

If there's a player I am banking on having a down year it's Tage Thompson. I feel he grosly over achieved last year

 

[DarkKnight]

I don't see what Lafferty brings tbh

I think he's looked good?

 

[Burnie97]

Don't want to jinx but overall in the pre season most of the goalies have looked pretty decent.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I think he's looked good?

He looks like every meh forward we sign that is on waivers 15 games in. Like a Vesey

 

[fahad203]

Robertson needed to do better there

 

[Mitch nylander]

Holmberg is fast. I really like Gregor.

 

[SprDaVE]

Holmberg looks damn good right now. A few puck rushes and has created some chances.

 

[DarkKnight]

He looks like every meh forward we sign that is on waivers 15 games in. Like a Vesey

He's pretty physical, I'm okay with him as long as Keefe doesn't have him too high in the lineup.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Would love to see a Knies or Robertson goal right about now.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Good shift by Knies.

 

[Burnie97]

Gregor looking good again. Guy can fly. Decent for a 4th line spot or 13th forward if they can carry close to a regular roster.
