GDT: BwO Presents: Leafs vs Sabres - 7pm, Dec. 21/23 - SNO - Keep the Train A' Rollin' Edition

[Squiffy]

Usually would feel like a trap game, we historically suck in Buffalo. Not actually feeling that way this one. Jones or Sammy I wonder? My guess is they owe Sammy some minutes here.

Go Leafs Go​

Will add as I can. The BwO is doing an Aerosmith vibe on this one. Secret BwO Agent @ULF_55 recorded this bit deep in the heart of Sabre world 40 years ago for this moment, recently unclassified as the message to tonights game is now obvious.

Keep the Train (Wagon? Are we a Wagon?) A’ Rollin’.

Should be a fairly easy win if Samsonov shows up.

Is Samsonov the confirmed starter?

It's a reasonable assumption

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Two very winnable games coming up here. Let’s get these points and close the gap a bit on Boston.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Gotta go back with Jones. He hasn't done anything to lose his spot for tonight. While samsonov has earned a trip to the waiver wire once Woll is healthy.

 

[ToneDog]

Unless Sabres want Granato out as coach, I expect them to show up after being embarrassed by CBJ.

Guessing an entertaining game with lots of goals, and cookies and apples to go around.

I can't see this team getting by both Boston and Florida to get to the ECF. They need to win the division, take out the WC in 4 or 5 and hope Boston and Florida beat themselves up for 7 games.

 

[TMLAM34]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Samsonov in net tonight. Hopefully he shows up and has a strong game.

Exactly why winning the division, and even the conference, is so important.

Should be a fairly easy win if Samsonov shows up.

If Samsonov is in net tonight, I will automatically credit the Sabres with an easy 2 goals minimum.

Prove me wrong Samsonov, and get another SHUTOUT !!!

There are NO 'easy' wins when it comes to our Leafs.

Buffalo really sucks.

WC teams are likely going to be two of Wash,TB, NYI, Canes, Philly, or Devils.
I feel confident they could beat any of those teams , but not in 4 or 5 games.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Buffalo has horrible goaltending, maybe play Sammy and show them how good he is...LOL.

 

[Evilhomer]

Buffalo really sucks.

I think they have run out of times to clean house and start over again, so someone will have to figure out how to make this group of players into something useful. In the meantime, take the over tonight. The Leafs will probably cover it on their own.

They have lots of talent, but it proves you must have cohesion throughout the organization.

 

[A1LeafNation]

I don't know what Sammy is going through but I'd like to see the Sammy from last year please. We need 2 good goalies heading into the playoffs not one.

 

[Burnie97]

I think Sammy will get the nod for tonight and depending on how tonight goes that'll determine who starts the game Saturday.

Either way they're 2 very winnable games. They need to make sure they're attacking the net and going for rebounds. No cute bullshit.

Hopefully Leafs go into the break playing well.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Leafs always have a tough time going down to Buffalo and the Sabres are coming off a blowout loss to Columbus. Might be a trap game. I'd like to see the Leafs make a bad team look bad. Will be an interesting game.

 

[Evilhomer]

make a bad team look bad.

I think Buffalo can handle this all on their own.

 

[ACC1224]

Anyone heading down the QEW to attend?

 

[Al14]

Anyone heading down the QEW to attend?

I'd love to be able to, however I'd have to take the 416, 401, 407, then the QEW !!!

Sadly, I think I should have left already !!!

Car pool? Oh damn, I think we're way too late!

Let's hope the refs call this game fairly and at the very least call one of the deserved penalties against Buffalo, unlike the Rangers who apparently did no wrong. No holding on our players against the Rangers? Really? How is a team like the Leafs, who possess the puck so much, great puck carriers like Matthews, Nylander, Knies, 31st in PP's given??? Bottom 5 in the last 5 years on PP's given? How can you doubt that something is amiss?

I just don't see why the refs would have something against Toronto. I don't buy in to the conspiracy theories.
