Leafs @ Sabres - Nov. 15th, 7:00pm - SN, SN 590

Buffalo must be bad. The Leafs have actually cycled the puck in their zone on more than one occasion already

It's impotent puck control though.  The Leafs just got their 3rd shot of the period 15 minutes in.  Puck possession is great but they need to put the puck on the net.  This lineup isn't going to score those fancy goals.  They need dirty goals.
 
Fraser owes Bernier  a drink. He completely stopped playing to push and shove with Scott and the puck went the other way.
 
Kessel hits a puck out of the air and the Leafs go back on the PK.  They have been getting nailed on the PK this year by the refs.  Last year they had 177 minor penalties in 48 games.  This year they have 87 penalties in their 19th game.  A pace for 43 more penalties than last year.

That call doesn't leave any room for discretion...

That's a discipline problem, and a preparation problem.  Therefore, Carlyle should be fired.  :P

Yeah not the refs fault. It's a stupid rule.

JVR, Kessel and Lupul have dropped off the face of the Earth.

JVR might not be a liability at C, but he's clearly not comfortable there.  Understandably, with how fast the game is you have to make plays from a different part of the ice than you're used to.  Can't be easy even for an NHLer.
 
I would like to see the Leafs do more when they have some zone time, when the cycle starts to break down, throw more pucks at the net. Other than that, offensively it was a much better period.

Their D zone play still sucks.

Really?  It was more of a general statement about penalties overall.  Given that the Sabres seem to be able to hook and hold while the Leafs cycle the puck in the offensive zone.
 
I'm loving all this talk on the panel about how the Sabres didn't respond to the coaching change. As if Nolan would have automatically made them a harder working team just because he told them to work harder.

They had two penalties called against them, one of which was a cut and dry penalty. Not sure why you're complaining.
