Meh, we always lose in Buffalo. They suck, we don't. Onto the next one.

 

[A1LeafNation]

What the **** Babcock, get your team in order.

Team is playing like ass.

This was worse than the outdoor game. No weather excuse against a crappy team.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

When's Matthews coming back?

 

[LeafSadist]

Feels bad man

 

[6ix]

Andersen hasn’t been sharp but like o dog said the guy is exhausted. Babcock has no clue how to manage a goalie. Zero reason to start Andersen tonight when we could of given him a week of rest.

 

[Mats13]

I miss Matthews

 

[djdev]

at least there will be post game comments, unlike when we win and since nobody can say negative stuff and we only get a few pages lol

 

[Mikeyg]

id start mac for the next 2 games. Andy needs a rest and a reset. Love the guy but he hasn't been vezzy good for about 3 weeks or so.

 

[Paradoc]

Not a bad game. We outshot them badly just had bad puck luck. Also think our defence and Andersen needs to step it up because Hainsey and Rielly pairing haven’t been great for a while.

 

[stakesishigh]

4 straight losses, not good.

 

[OppositeLocK]

Wow calm down guys. We deserve to miss the playoffs because of 2 bad games?

Jeez relaaaax.

Hyman gets bashed to no end on this board but Brown seems to consistently avoid any real criticism somehow.

He's been extremely underwhelming this season. Not fast enough, physical enough or skilled with the puck to really create anything.

He shouldnt be playing anywhere above the 3rd line.

 

[Knies iT]

40+ shots yet their sub-.900sv% back-up plays like a hero and they score off 4 crazy bounces.

On the bright side, Buffalo is a tire fire and we just handed them 2 pts to sabotage their tank. Does nothing to our place in the standings.

 

[Halla]

this game was awful. leafs were hammering the sabres but they kept getting lucky bounce after lucky bounce. the 4th goal ended it....off the ref and put on a tee for ROR to snap it in

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Why are we not resting Freddy? 3rd place is all but secured now, may as well give Anderson the much needed rest he deserves heading into the playoffs.

 

[Marshy]

After Saturday and needing to turn things around. Good teams win that game. No excuses they should be ashamed. Be better still too many passengers.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Tough loss, especially after the loss on Saturday. Hopefully Matthews can be back for Saturday.

Hyman gets bashed to no end on this board but Brown seems to consistently avoid any real criticism somehow.

He's been extremely underwheling this season. Not fast enough, physical enough or skilled with the puck to really create anything.

He shouldnt be playing anywhere above the 3rd line.

agreed, brown marleau and bozak are dead wood right now. Need them to pick it up, we aren't a good two line team, we need 3.

 

[Mats13]

Team deserves to miss the playoffs.

And they might by the way they're going. Remember 2-12-0 down the stretch in 2014's last 14 games to miss. Could happen again here....

Now this is a special kind of stupid

 

[LeafsNation75]

The 4th goal was deflating since it went off the ref skate and onto the O'Reilly's stick.

The 5th goal was clearly goalie interference and the Leafs should have been down 4-3 in the final minute, so that played a huge factor.

I seriously hope Babcock gives it to the refs after the game.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

well we outplayed them comfortably but the game didn't go our way. I still don't understand why Babcock has to neuter our own offense to help out bottom feeders like Buffalo, but I hope he moves away from it

 

[Polaris1010]

That was goalie interference.

Contact was made inside the blue crease area, and Andersen got flipped over.

Like a hambuger, like he was a meat on the grill.

 

[ULF_55]

Sabres scored more and stopped more.

good ol' Saskatchewan science says he doesnt need any
