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

[Coderaspberry]

That was quite a non-call.  And geez, it's still a game.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Well that sucked.

I guess cross-checking is ok now? At least Grabo gets it back!

Love how much we've been outplaying teams 5 on 5 but drawing so fewer penalties.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Frattin has had his best game as a Leaf IMO.

I'd agree with that. He's lacked for finish but he's been their most dangerous player 5 on 5.

It just looks like he's finally figuring out how to get places on the NHL rink. I think he's going to have a good second half.

Icing doesn't get waived off if you hit the post?

Not a shot on goal.

Technically it isn't a shot on net though, right?

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink dudes.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Bad second period, but I liked the Leafs push in the first and third.

 

[riff raff]

Hey Johnny Bower was there! He should have played.

 

[Kessel Run]

Crappy PK and a couple of Reimer softies did them in here.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Yeah, dropping on the puck should be allowed. Wait, what?

I mean, I know that, but it still strikes me as kind of crazy.

Anyways, that stinks. They gave that game away because of crummy discipline. They were easily the better team 5 on 5.

 

[Deebo]

Crazy, really?

It crosses the goal line without being touched, its exactly what icing is.

TSN's description of the game winner during Sportscentre: "...Kessel falls down..."

uh, yeah.

uh, yeah.

I could work at TSN: "Kassian maneuvered to get a closer look at the glass."

Is Reimer as good as the hype, or did Reimer show up at the right time when the team played their best hockey?  I think a little bit of both and predicted it was unwise to count Gustavsson out of the equation.  I think it might come down to who's hotter on any give day.

uh, yeah.

That's messed up obviously but did anyone catch why in the world the Leafs' defensemen were nowhere to be seen? Cross check aside it was a turnover at the other team's blue line. How are their forwards behind the defense?

I know a lot of people are jumping on Reimer but I think Gardiner was the goat tonight.
