Sabres @ Leafs - Mar. 11th, 7:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

[LuncheonMeat]

I made reference to it on Saturday night but after that beating the Leafs took they started running promos for this one with a very serious voice-over saying "This isn't about a Wild Card, This isn't about the Post-Season. If you're a hockey player, this is about one thing. Pride" while "highlights" of the Sabres and Leafs played.

Seriously, how much better would this game be if both teams were trying to score on their own nets?

That's a prideful defense lineup.

Hey man what do you expect when a team loses Franson, Polak, and Robidas in the span of a few weeks.

Oh wait...

I am look for a 6-5 lose.

This made me giggle.

Kadri will be scratched for at least 2 more games, per Shanahan.

Nice! Tank nation is happy

"at least"?!?? How many meetings did Kadri miss?

No one knows, however he will be a RFA, and that might be the strategy to sign a low term ou low money deal...

Kadri is eligible for arbitration.  I'm sure some of the guys on here know for sure, but I think salary arbitration is based purely on what he did on the ice.

So far the only rule we know that he broke was being late for practice.

Shanahan specifically said that that isn't the sole reason for this.

Sure man, both are statements are true. Yours just needed a bit more context I felt.

 

[LuncheonMeat]

Perhaps Kadri was told to show up for meetings, but don't 'show up' for games, and he got it totally backwards.  8)

 

[Highlander]

Read between the lines, Kadri is a hockey 164 I.Q.  In the rest of life probably around 68 and that is being generous. The guy is not that bright, but who cares if he can score goals. Remember Forest Gump playing football?
He needs to be disciplined, he needs to grow up and become a leader, in a hockey sense. That means showing up and doing the work. I would really love to hear Eakin's take on the lad.

I have my slippers on, ready for this evening!!!!!

 

[Highlander]

did your grandma in the 3rd Riech nitt those for you?

Don't really get why Reimer isn't starting this one.

 

[LuncheonMeat]

Don't really get why Reimer isn't starting this one.

I can't remember where I read this, maybe even here.  Reimer has a great record against the Sabres, but lost his last start against them while Bernier won his.  Who knows with this team anymore.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Don't really get why Reimer isn't starting this one.

Leafs have what, 3 B2B's left this season? That's probably all we'll see of Reimer.

 

[L K]

Do refs call anything other than hooking and puck over the glass anymore?

I'm really intrigued by just how many times I'll say "Who the hell is Lindstrom?" at the beginning of a game before the fact that the Leafs have a player by that name wearing #15 sinks in.

I'm guessing if/when I learn his first name it'll probably take hold.

Nicknlas?

Dear Peter Horachek:  This is not your fault.  These guys suck.

Jim? Jim Lindstrom sounds like it could be a name.

 

[Britishbulldog]

Just tuned in and Buffalo scored.  Go Phaneuf!

 

[Kin]

That was a bit unfortunate there, Dion.

 

[L K]

That Kadri suspension is sure sending ripples through the dressing room.

 

[TML fan]

Phaneuf cares alright.

Cares about the tank.
