Pre-season: Sabres @ Leafs - Sept. 20th, 7:00pm - SN1, TSN 1050

Shore playing below a guy I've never heard of before is something. Really weird how he's been buried so low all camp long.

I wouldn't read too much into that. Both those lines look to be about equal in "not making the NHL roster out of camp" pedigree.

Some guy I've never heard of is on D tonight. Kristians Rubins from Latvia, 21, 6'5", 221lbs.  All day.

Looks like the Sabres are saving their bigger names for tomorrow night's game.

He's from Latvia every time he steps on the ice.... Did I get that right?

Usually the home team brings the heat and the away squad does a Washington Generals impression.

They'd damn well better hitch up their pantaloons and get serious. I don't want to call this disastrous start to the preseason a Death Spiral but it sure looks like one.

It's probably time to crack each other's heads open and feast on the goo inside.

They should do Spezza first.

Might not find a whole lot in there [emoji51]

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[disco]

Go Aretnas/Marlies Go!

Martina's in mid season form

Nylander line is looking great. Not sure who the centre is but he's playing like an absolute beast [emoji6]

 

[herman]

That?s how it?s done

Agostino makes up for the no penalty shot call. Nice pass over to Johnsson on the ensuing PP for a tap in.

1 - 0

 

[herman]

Lots to like so far.

Something less good, out defense under pressure is outletting to the middle of the DZ blue line for some reason. If we have a backchecking forward to race into it, sure, but we?ve turned it over 3-4 times there between the last whistles.

Rielly - Liljegren alert!

Near the end of the period up one, Rielly starts the OZ shift with Liljegren to try to capitalize on the position. Ceci comes back on after the puck is sent down to Leafs ice.

 

[herman]

Sandin and Matthews give and go alert!

 

[cujo4ever]

Sandin is a player.

Big Mik looked good as well, liking the puck retrieval on the boards and the hard back checks.

 

[princedpw]

Agostino looked good.

 

[herman]

Great pass by Mo. Not much angle for Nylander but Ullmark just gets a toe on it.

Freddie makes his own mega save.

Andersen would get a whole bunch of shut outs in the AHL

 

[herman]

That?s a good Nylander shift
