Game 31: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Buffalo Sabres L5-4

[Deebo]

It was like the sabers players weren't there.

That was sick - sick by Kessel, sick shot by Lupul.

2 on 1 pass got across. 

 

[Bullfrog]

nice goal! How long can these two keep it up?

 

[pnjunction]

Nice!

Leafs TV interactive is busted but this stream of the TSN feed is decent: http://www.firstrowsports.tv/watch/98157/1/watch-buffalo-sabres-vs-toronto-maple-leafs.html

I really wish announcers would shut the f*** up about other teams struggling power plays.  :-X

Every damn time...

penalty kill? Not.

 

[lc9]

Its amazing how bad the PK continues to be.  Change it already .

 

[Arn]

Lol @ the PK

 

[Bonsixx]

This penalty kill needs to be turned into a drinking game. I think you could literally take a shot for every 10 seconds the Leafs manage to successfully kill and still be quite lucid by the end of the game.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Good one

At this point what can you do?  They have been working on it constantly, the media has been reporting on this - they have different assistants who have been trying different things (and apparently Cronin was successful at the college level).

I think it's on the players.

Agree but that doesn't mean we're stuck.  We have different players on the Marlies who apparently have a good PK.  Don Cherry has been harping for months about getting Zigomanis on the PK instead we have the roster dead weight that is Orr and Rosehill.

Let Kessel and Lupel PK like Sundin/Mogliny.  Why the hell should Dupuis PK?  He has no skill and the PK gets scored on at will.

 

[Strangelove]

Yet again, the Leafs lose track of everyone who isn't carrying the puck.  Being active doesn't only mean being active on the puck-carrier.  The sooner the Leafs realize that, the better.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

How did Miller stop that? Crazy!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Injustice against Derek Roy?  Say it ain't so.

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man!
