GDT: #10 – Sabres at Maple Leafs – Tue Oct 28, 7:30PM ET – MSG-B, Bell TV – WGR

[SabresFan26]

Ugly game, really flat out horrible

 

[Moncton man]

Well, yes it is. Not a very intellectual one, but it IS a discussion. Nitpicking a bit, aren't you there?

Maybe it's an argument then?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Wasn't Nolan supposed to fix the COMPETE level?

Only the usual suspects are bringing it tonight. Zemgus, maybe Gionta too...

 

[stokes84]

I don't know how anyone can be defending any single player right now... There is literally nothing but negatives from this game.

OK, Neuvirth gets a pass.

 

[joshjull]

Maybe it's an argument then?

Love that skit

 

[ZZamboni]

Wasn't Nolan supposed to fix the COMPETE level?

He did. This is it.


I still remember the Rolston games. Most games this season have been at a higher "compete" level than garden gloves Ron days.

 

[gallagt01]

Net result of a coach who has only gotten betterer and betterer at putting players into positions for which they are not suited.

Umm...what?

Who's not in a position to succeed? Reinhart? He's been physically outmatched all game.

 

[kenfury]

If they show a high compete level in they third we might be able to get 4 shots on goal.

 

[BowieSabresFan]

so if we nitpick, we're wrong

if we speak in generalities we're wrong

good night folks the boards are as bad as the game tonight

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

We want NINE shotsssss

Overall, yes. That second goal, not so much.

The PK has been for the most part solid. Don't really have anything negative about Girgensons and Gionta. Some of the other guys have been a mixed bag, but that's about it.

 

[couture23]

this has been worse than the Anaheim game I think

 

[joshjull]

I really don't understand why Nolan broke up the Mitchell/Girgs/Gionta line. We finally won in regulation and they were a big part of it. Instead slow as molasses Foligno gets put on that line and they do little.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

Im gonna call you Meszaros the rest of the night

 

[5 Minute Major]

I find no joy in watching a team as pathetic as this one.

And, I'm not talking about the Leafs.

 

[gallagt01]

I'd like for Gorges to call his teammates out in the post game tonight.

 

[ZeroPT*]

Sup boys about to head out how's the game go-

Oh i see

 

[omglolnub]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

We want NINE shotsssss

Shots of...?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Myers lazy with the stick there...

 

[Woodhouse]

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

We want NINE shotsssss

David Alter @dalter 5m
The fewest amount of shots on goal the #Leafs gave up in a single game last season was 22. They have only given up 8 so far. #TMLtalk

 

[stokes84]

I'd like for Gorges to call his teammates out in the post game tonight.

Why? It's not like he had some heroic performance.

 

[Beerz]

80%



No he wasn't. He was at the top of the face-off circle.

Not quite the neutral zone but way higher than the top of the circle ..

 

[Moncton man]

Glad to see Phaneuf back out there, whether or not he's a Laff, looked like it could have been a bad injury when he went down.

 

[gallagt01]

Why? It's not like he had some heroic performance.

So? Someone has to lead.
