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

[Stronger Than All]

Wy to hit thy jersey crest

 

[L K]

Phaneuf has really come up empty when the team needs their captain to step up his game.

 

[moon111]

-3.1% of making the playoffs.  83.4% now.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Man... that JVR chance...

 

[TML fan]

The leafs suck

 

[applecheeks]

ahhh CRAP!!!

 

[ZBBM]

Yeah, that's a legit team right there.  Garbage effort.

The next time someone tells you Kessel is an elite player, tell 'em that an elite player eats bad teams alive.  What a joke.

 

[L K]

4 goals in 5 games........

You're ridiculous.  Sorry it's true.

I don't think they are going to make it.

I think Nonis should be fired.

 

[mc]

pathetic...we can't score...and our pp sucks.

You're ridiculous.  Sorry it's true.

Yeah, and you're an idiot.  Ooooooh, that was a valuable exchange.

 

[Beowulf]

The top guns for the Leafs were their worst players tonight, end of story.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Phaneuf and Kessel need to start to lead this team. They also need to score.

Kudos to Buffalo. They played a good physical game, though I thought they got away with a lot of borderline penalties. I saw a good amount of blatant one hand on the stick, one hand wrapped around a leaf in their D zone.

Anyway, the Leafs didn't lose because they didn't get enough PP, they lost because they couldn't create much offence and capitalize on their chances.

It's hard to watch this team without Bozak, Bolland and Kadri. They've got 4 finesse players and a bunch of scrubs. It's painful.

Kessel does eat bad teams alive, but hey don't bother with facts or anything.  Keep using your one game sample sizes to make ridiculously broad assertions.

And I never called you anything nearing an idiot, but thanks for that.  You're the one who refuses to base any comment in reality but I'm the idiot.

So Crosby or someone comparable has never, ever been shut down by a "bad" team?

Ever?

 

[ZBBM]

Rag on me all you want, but Kessel and Phaneuf did nothing to show why they should be the core of the team.  NOTHING.  Lupul at least moved his feet.

There is no way they should lose to a crap team like that.  Any excuses they make are nonstarters.

I dunno. Much as individual achievement is a thing in hockey, it's still a team sport. I can't see how even the most elite players are going to win games on a team that has only one NHL center, especially where that center is nothing but a 4th liner/ PK specialist.

You started the name calling, not me.  So park that I'm-all-offended crap and run along and dig up all Kessel's stats against the worst teams to "prove" that I'm off in la-la land.  Oh wait ... he was just a no-show against a 4-15 team.  So yeah, garbage effort, by the team, not just OldPhil.  He does get paid more than anyone, though, so please please pardon me while I hold him to higher standard.

Just wait until they give him his next contract. I said the Clarkson signing was an overpayment and was going to hurt us and it has Phaneuf's will be even worse.
