Post-Game Talk: Leafs beat Sabres 3-0!

[Duffman955]

Disagree

Mikheyev and Kerfoot seem to have some chemistry. Kerfoot looked worse tonight than the other night, but overall has done well. In the offensive zone more than not.

Kerfoot seems like a player some won’t like and some will love with little in between

I didnt see him do anything. He looks like the rest of the borderline players that hardly look like they belong in the NHL

He is fast and does nothing else

Ceci has been quite economical. Just what we need.

I thought that line looked much better when Aberg was replaced with Timashov. Still, agreed on Kerfoot. he's small and subtle so a lot of people will dislike him, even if he has a good game in terms of his line outplaying the opposition

I’m hopeful we see Agostino get a shot with Kerfoot and Mikheyev next game that line plays. Agostino can add that tenacity.

read the avs board about what they think about kerfoot. whatever they have said seems to translate to what i've seen thus far. then again still pre-season; new team, new system and new line mates

 

[Cor]

AJ - Matthews - Nylander
Kapanen - Tavares - Marner
Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Agostino
Moore - Gauthier - Spezza

Rielly - Ceci
Muzzin - Barrie
Sandin - Schmaltz
Marincin in the press box

Andersen
Neuvirth/Hutchinson

It's because he was part of the return for Kadri. The truth of the matter is, Kadri was pushed down the depth chart and wasn't ever going to come back up. Kerfoot will do just fine in his role, and had some good moments with Mikheyev. Just needs time to develop chemistry.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Agostino and Mikheyev have been way better than I thought they would be.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

I thought Lilly was fine, but Rubins is attrocious. I just mentioned a play where Lilly makes a simple pass to him, and then Rubins passes it back to Lilly with a man on him, and what do you know? He turns it over.

It’s tough to play NHL games if your D partner is an ECHLer.

Ya I didnt think Agostino would outplay all the guys from the Marlies

 

[IPS]

My excitement for the season has increased exponentially the last few days.

The Marner saga bummed most of us out and was very draining, but now that all that BS is behind us and we're looking at the kind of team we have here, there are exciting times ahead.

Agreed. Looking forward to Game 6 or 7 of preseason. By then we'll most likely have our full NHL lineup.

 

[Magic Man]

I thought Agostino looked good. Mikheyev and Sandin looked great tonight.

Shore may have gained a leg up on Aberg as a potential depth forward with his performance so far. Though, I don't think either of them are on the opening night roster.

Liljegren looks shaky to me. Another year in the AHL soaking up big offensive minutes would help him quite a bit.

Timashov passes the eye test for me, always has. If he can finally put everything together this season in the AHL then he becomes a player that could see some NHL time.

Agostino was noticeable...seems like a gamer...I like it! Gotta fit in somewhere!

 

[hector morrison]

Mikheyev looks like a top 6 player...wonder if he gets a look with the high priced talent while Hyman is out.

 

[MJ65]

Leafs Vs Sabres - Freddy was pretty solid tonight



Babs - post Game

 

[MJ65]

Solid game by the Leafs - played well at both ends

 

[biotk]

Id much rather Have Harpur on the 3rd pairing than Sandin.

Sandin will get wasted on the 3rd line...and be forced to PK which he;s not comfortable with.

Sandin is perfectly comfortable on the PK and is a damn good D on it. He should be starting the season on the Leafs' third pair and will get 16 or 17 minutes a game. By midseason he will either be already pushing onto to the 2nd pairing, or the Leafs' will have one of the best 3rd pairs in the NHL.

Babs has really taken a liking to Sandin

slow down, we still need to see him against an NHL lineup, wait a few more games

 

[biotk]

You guys hated Jake for much of what Sandin looks like he will bring.

This comment belongs in the hall of fame for reaching a level of absurdity beyond what most people would believe a human being would be capable of reaching.

 

[Rude Dog]

Kerfoot looks so small and unimpactful.

God I'm gonna miss Kadri

But will you enjoy Barrie ? For one year anyway.

 

[Kiwi]

Babs has really taken a liking to Sandin

Good sign for him, if Babcock takes a liking to you he tends to give you plenty of opportunities to impress

Harpur is probably feeling pretty good about life right now as well
