How that home-and-home series ended without one heavyweight fight is beyond me.
Good effort tonight, but the team still lacks talent. At least I see positives.

The inability to clear the front of the net shows why Risto and Zad were prime picks for the Sabres.

Yeah, can't beat the league warning the teams and specific players about their actions. Entertainment business, right? Not as entertaining...
Better effort. Let's see how they do against the Blues, but steps in the right direction.
reading some of the leafs fans quotes from before this home and home, you would have thought it was the best team going against the worst team, instead of the worst team going up against the most dramatic team. I mean they barely escaped with the split, thanks to getting a couple very quick whistles and one awful horrible call to give them a powerplay while we were in the middle of slamming the third period down their throats...anyways...
G- effort in the third, not just mailing it in when 2 weeks ago they would have. Seeing players step up that you would not normally see like Stafford, McBain, Myers.
B- the leafs - they really aren't that good even with their CENTERS (could they mention any more times thats they dont have their top centres) It was like they were repeating it over and over again as if to justify themselves if this home and home was anything but two games that were 7-1 leafs. That was not a penalty at the end but Leino was non-existent tonight.
U- The fact that we had to play against the refs tonight, that call at the end was awful, but did anyone notice when we were in the middle of getting good pressure with like 5 minutes left how quick that whistle blew. It was like the ref was waiting until the puck came withing 3 feet of Reimer and blow the whistle.
ON ANOTHER NOTE - IF THE LEAGUE DEEMED THAT JOHN SCOTT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR THAT GAME and he was given a 7 game suspension and not a 9 game suspension, Why do the officials get to kick him out for doing NOTHING wrong but getting jumped. He wasn't even going after anyone and Maclaren or whoever jumped on his back. In what other league can you take away a teams elligible roster player because one of the other team is afraid of him. I mean he's big and tall so you are allowed to kick him out of the game for no reason, and you are allowed to take full swings at him with you stick, and be rewarded bv the league giving you a vacation for the remainder of the preseason. At the beginning og the years, I thought highly of the leafs like they were a serious contender to watch in the Division, but now I know better. (not saying the sabres are, but the leafs aren't either

This. The moment Ray said it I had instant flashbacks of Tallinder clearing Kessel out and getting a penalty.
The Scott thing pissed me off, as did that call on Lame-o.

Scott isn't doing himself any favors. The penalty was horse****, but no reason to publicly call Phaneuf a "princess." Immature and unnecessary. This isn't going to fly.

That's an odd thing to say for a goalie who gave up one goal really.
The two tips by JVR were going to be hard saves, and he likely would have saved Raymond's shot had Myers not gotten a stick on it.
I thought he looked good besides being out of position on the first JVR tip, he could have read it better.

@BuffaloSabres: "We can't take that." -#Sabres Interim Coach Ted Nolan on late penalty. "Those are the kinds of things we'll have to address."
@BuffNewsVogl: Sabres' Ville Leino on his penalty with 2:46 left: "It was a tough call, I think, especially at that state of the game." (1/2)
@BuffNewsVogl: Ted Nolan on Leino's penalty: "We can’t take that. We have full momentum, but I think he got a little bit frustrated." (2/2)

I think you're taking it wrong.
I don't think it was meant as a rip on Enroth.
Just saying he wanted to get a look at Enroth before "riding the horse"

They are required to do moar bettar.
Ted is blunt... Hopefully he's got something in store so that they don't suck alwatys in the first period.
