Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Sabres

[Keato]

Buffalo hates the Leafs' guts, so the pessimist in me doesn't have too high expectations.

 

[Warden of the North]

Sabres are playing decent hockey even without Eichel

Classic post deadline bottom feeder when no pressure is on.

Dont be surprised if we lose. We were that team for many years in recent memory.

Also the game is in Buffalo.

Enough said there.

For the people that say that these games don't matter, think again. Florida is now 15 points back but with 4 games in hand. Absolutely can not take the foot off the gas. Until we clinch a divisional spot, there is no way this team should treat these games like preseason.

Well, the Leafs are 29-71-6 all time in Buffalo, and that's including the first two Sabres seasons which the Leafs won all 6 games on the road.

Good thing history has nothing to do with this season

 

[Suntouchable13]

Last season we came in and won a big game on the road against them in late March.

Why do we even need a shutdown line when Buffalo has nothing to shutdown?

 

[Schennanigans]

Should have Kapanen on the first line. Other than that, looks good.

Honestly there's not that much incentive to keep that divisional spot. Not that I expect it to happen, but going over to the Metro side of the bracket through the wild card would be an easier path.

good point. Pittsburgh is scary team but I think Boston and TB are better. And no other metro team worries me at all, tbh

lol just Pitt, eh - we still cannot beat the Caps

I'd rather face TB

ROR and Reinhart have been playing very well for them lately

Even without Eichel, never underestimate them

We also suck when playing in BUF lol

 

[Leafs at Knight]

I'm gonna be mad if we lose and people use the "well we always suck in Buffalo", excuse.

We should win but at some point we’re going to lose to a bad team. When we were a bad team we still beat good teams on occasion.

We've lost to bad teams more than our fair share
