Game 43: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Buffalo Sabres L3-2

[ZBBM]

Poo.  Oh, well got to soldier on.

 

[Derk]

What, already?

 

[Propellertop]

Hmmm. Things have been PRETTY messy so far. :/

 

[lamajama]

I thought an early goal might be the downfall. I hope Gus can
fight through this. That was weak.

 

[Coderaspberry]

Oh wow.  That's gross.

 

[ZBBM]

Uh oh.  Sounds like Gus is not on tonight.

 

[drummond]

Wake up guys

 

[lamajama]

Unfortunately one more and Gus will be pulled.

That's the kind of goal the Leafs were doing a good job of avoiding.  Gunnarsson came up on the shooter and didn't block the shot so he only managed to create a screen for the shooter.  Gus probably should have had that though, he didn't need to leave the post there, he was cheating.

The Leafs have played pretty poorly right here though.

Really stand the f*** up. Why do these guys go down with a shot from that far out. Looks like it may be a long night. Slow out the gate don't like it.

 

[lc9]

Ugly start.  Leafs have barely touched the puck.

[LittleHockeyFan]

wow, 2 goals on 2 shots?!

Really?

 

[L K]

Ugly start.  Leafs have barely touched the puck.

You know why?

Phaneuf behind the net with the puck, skate the puck to the half-boards.  Where are Kessel and Lupul...standing still at the Sabres blueline.  How the hell is Phaneuf going to pass the puck through 4 Sabres to you on a standstill?  Free turnovers because the forwards aren't helping the defensemen out.

 

[drummond]

Grabbos line had first good shift for the Leafs with 7 min into the game

 

[Derk]

Wow. I was going to turn on the game. Luckily, dinner is ready instead! ;D

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

So much for the confidence thing with Gus. Goes in on a 4 game winning steak and plays like garbage.

 

[Propellertop]

This game isn't going to end 2-0 for the Sabres so It's just a matter of working our way back into the game. Leafs need 1 this period to get things on track.

 

[riff raff]

Anyone have a feed with the Canadian broadcast?

Thx.

 

[Tigger]

Pretty sure the second goal was deflected by Gunnar. So so goal but it's early.
