I think if Sabres picked MM, Yotes will pick Eichel, we would pick Strome as Kadri was the only youngish C in the organization.

There is no way at that time, Leafs would pass a 6’3 200pounds C.

They might also trade down but still think they would drafted Strome
Nylander was still considered a C at that point.

The Leafs keep winning games they're supposed to win is something I could get used to.

What a mess Buffalo is. If the Leafs lost this game they had a built in excuse in net. But that seems like a cop out to me.

Especially since Buffalo had an AHL goalie of their own tonight.

I think if the puck passes through the red line at the trapezoid then icing should be waived off. There's no reason a goalie can't be playing those. Waiting for it to trickle over the goal line while the goalie stands there and watches seems pretty senseless.

He could easily fire it back up ice to a teammate.

Hildeby looked like crap to start the game and that's putting it nicely. Glad to see the big guy recover and stop that pathetic excuse of a hockey team from thinking they were finally getting a win. It would have been against an AHL level goalie but Buffalo would have celebrated just the same as Domi after he scored.

if Keefe was still coach the Leafs would have lost.

Good comeback win last night. It's a good thing we have all these home games. Our away record is not that great.

Fairly even teams but Buffalo doesn’t have a Marner and just finds ways to lose.

Winning this game doesn't take away another slow start and not a great game from them. That's 11 straight they have looked mediocre.
Yet they are 8-3. Finding a way to win is the only thing that matters.

How many games have you witnessed the Leafs play well only to find a way to lose? Especially come playoff time

A concerning start, but really turned it on in the second half, and dominated. One of the best games I've ever seen Tavares play. Also a great game from Robertson. I think the break did him well. Got away from the frustration and back to what he was doing earlier in the year, and was rewarded for it this time.

Thanks to the power of Amulet and longetivity. Bobbor Mackachov has been able to restock Milk Cookies and Kush. My midget afghan butler Morc and girlfriend with Video game addiction to Mortal Kombat like Sonya now happy with Canada Thanksgiving. Maybe St. nick Robertson is short . But the season to long for midget dwarf crippled with Kush. Perhaps Calgary is too cold for me. I still Smash.

We're very lucky we've had Stolarz and Woll.

Our team is not performing good at all.
Are you talking from the perspective of winning? If so, you need to look at the standings.

The Rangers have been a good regular season team, and an average team in the playoffs due to excellent goaltending.

Are you talking from the perspective of cookies or a fantasy league perspective?

Good goaltending and a good pk (which we have) is a big change.

Overall we are experimenting with systems, 3rd and 4th line combos, defensive pairings, showcasing players (Minton, Robertson, Timmins, and Grebenkin), an undisclosed Matthews injury, a slow start from Tavares due to sickness, and weeks/months of players injured all while holding the top spot in the Atlantic, and 6th overall in the NHL.

So what specifically are you talking about? Toronto might miss the President's Trophy?

Hildeby is way too active in his crease. Feels like he's fighting off pucks rather than making saves. He's a question mark for me.
