GDT: #22 – Sabres at Maple Leafs – Sat Nov 16 – 7:00PM ET – MSG-B, CBC – WGR-AM

I really like McBain's offensive game.

 

[Chainshot]

Holland, don't throw your arms up like that. It's the "guilty" move.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

I see Leino has taken over the title of resident stick tapper from Derek Roy... Stop using your ****ing stick like that sooner or later they'll call slashing.

 

[Chainshot]

Risto just dropped another Leaf with his pinch down to the half-wall. Just think of him fully filled out... *drool*

 

[couture23]

Poop.

 

[ZZamboni]

This.

And in the next couple of years.

I wasn't being a *****. I honestly wanted to know. Because you ask 20 people, you get 20 different answers. Some think an elite defensive defenseman is a franchise defenseman. Others want one that pour in goals and that's a franchise defenseman. Others think a player that is awesome in all areas and has no weakness, and that's a franchise defenseman. Others think a hard hitter that fights and clears the crease seeing red, and that's a franchise defenseman. Everyone has an idea as to what that means to them.


I don't think Risto will be any of that in only two years. But I'd love to be wrong

 

[Woodhouse]

That one's on Tallinder.

 

[BUCKSHOT]

Ted learning how to tank tonight

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Leino's crappy pass led to the turnover that resulted in that Leafs' goal.

and better feet/skating

All-situations, 10-goal, 40 point defenseman. Good in every zone.

Zadorov's open - ice ability will probably overshadow the consistency Risto will bring. He's not just a horse; he's a smart, confident horse.

 

[Moskau]

Tallinder is the opposite of what he was last night. Enroth isn't helping the team tonight. And Leino still sucks.

 

[Myllz]

This is more or less the team I expected to see this year. They're not losing due to a lack of effort (for once), they're losing because the team just isn't good. I'm okay with them losing like this throughout the season.

 

[Chainshot]

What the hell Tallinder? What. The. Hell.

This. Once more, nobody is a passenger. These guys look confident and in it even when down three.

 

[Chainshot]

Wait, so the attempted pass across in front of the Leaf net by Leino is the problem there? Not Hank losing his man AGAIN and going full Leopold?

 

[gallagt01]

Nolan knows how to use his fourth line. Good to see.

 

[Squantosawuss]

Just out of curiosity, how many concussions has Rob Ray had?

 

[26CornerBlitz]

A pass that's stronger and on target leads to a scoring chance or SOG instead of a turnover with the Leafs on the attack. Not to excuse Hank.

 

[SabresFan26]

Steve Ott is a warrior

 

[ZZamboni]

Just out of curiosity, how many concussions has Rob Ray had?

Ten too many

 

[couture23]

Embellishment for Ott. 4-on-4.

 

[CrankyJay]

About time they called that.

 

[gallagt01]

That's a joke.

 

[CrankyJay]

A dive? Are you ****ing kidding me?
