GDT: Leafs vs Sabres 7PM SNO

[Pi]

That .940 record breaking march kinda sealed it bud.

Sealed what? That Andersen like every other goalie goes through hot and cold stretches? He's been phenomenal but if you think Andersen is the only reason the Leafs are where they are, you aren't watching Leafs hockey bud.

Leafs give him plenty of goal support. Matthews is the MVP.

 

[Mugzy97]

Alex Nylander will be hard player to keep in check.. If they put him on a line with Eichel...., OUCH!

Alex is nothing to worry about in this game. 9 goals and 18 assists in 62 AHL games? Hardly a threat at this point in time.

Let's make a trade... and get these two brothers back together here, on the same team..

Bracco, Hunwick & JVR... for... Ristolainen.. & A. Nylander...

Would do that trade instantly, but Buffalo doesn't even entertain it obviously.

Another must win game it looks like considering the teams were playing to end off the season. Next 4 games are against Tampa, Washington, Pittsburgh and Columbus. If we can beat Tampa in regulation and pick up a win Buffalo/any of the 3 other remaining games, we're in.

Playing like a #1 goaltender. Not sure that's a bad thing?

Good teams have good goaltending.

 

[NarcoPolo]

Who?

The littler Nylander

Got that right and he is making the Kessel trade look sweeter and sweeter. Suddenly that Pits pick looks like its gem studded.

It's not a bad thing nor is it the sole reason they are where they are.

Thanks, odd they wouldn't just say that.

 

[Mowman]

I can't wait for tonight's game! I will be heading to the game with a buddy who is a Sabres fan, and I hope to god I get to pester him on the drive home about the dominating win my Leafs just had.

Go Leafs!

LOL! It's pretty deceiving to just look at stats and make an opinion on how a player is playing.., imo..

I would normal agree with you in previous seasons.. about this, but seeing what Lou & Kyle have accomplished shedding Phaneuf's contract
and some of the other surprising trades we have had.., I don't count anything out, anymore.. Lou's a genius..!

Need to slay the dragon today.

Lets gooooooo!

Oh no? Think Reimer would pull it off? Hmmm, I don't think this is a PO team at all without a top 15 goalie putting up a top 5 performance to close the season.

Yeah we could have the little x next to our name by the end of tomorrow night.

We finally get this close to playoffs and all we can do is argue about which player got us here? Cmon guys, team effort. There are a lot of reasons we are where we are and none of them are the sole reason.

 

[Poignant Discussion*]

Uhh, Andersen is a good goalie but Matthews is the MVP. The amount of goals he's scored to put the Leafs ahead or tie games is incredible.

If you think Andersen is the only reason we are "sniffing" (our odds are nearly 99%) you aren't watching the Leafs.

By his recent post history (Boyle a sideways move for GOAT for instance) I think you might be right

That is not even enough to get them to even entertain the offer if it so was for "just" Ristolainen. Then add Nylander... just no.

I think if we win today 1 more win should be enough to get us in.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

just plz win

The Team sport dynamic isn't for everyone.

 

[ACC1224]

Anyone know if they take CDN dollars at the Keybank?

 

[SprDaVE]

I just want to win in Buffalo.

I can't imbed a youtube video, but if anyone can post the "Leafs are the Best" video from '93 that would be much appreciated.

Break the tension in here with a classic song.

"Toronto Maple Leafs

Forget your Disbeliefs!" ....classic.

 

[Daisy Jane]

we are going to win tonight.
