GDT: Preseason: Buffalo Sabres @ Toronto Maple Leafs 7PM 9.20.2019

[Fezzy126]

Seems like a lot more movement on the PP, nice to see. Hopefully it continues when the real games start

 

[old kummelweck]

Warming up to Lazar on a 4th line or as the 13th forward.

 

[Doug Prishpreed]

Vlad and Kyle on the pp. Firepower

Vlad’s been fine all camp. Kyle is worse than ever.

 

[Ralonzo]

Well they're not showing the replay which usually means it's a horse crap call.

 

[joshjull]

Yeah but it was right in front of the ref who was looking right at it. How could he have seen what happened?

 

[Tatre]

Please tell me more about Matthews' huge forearm

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Lazar's career was dead until he came to us. Lazar-us, risen from the dead.

Dude looks good, the whole team looks relatively solid- some sloppiness, but overall the system just looks.. better. Would like to see results, but I'll wait until reg. season for that.

 

[Sabreality]

Really hope they can convince Roots to go to Rochester. He thinks the game really well and I could see him getting some NHL time this year once he adjusts to NA.

 

[Tatanka]

Linus!

 

[Ralonzo]

Matthews hits the bullseye on Ullmark's logo

"Matthews can't believe that Ullmark made that save"

 

[joshjull]

Great sequence boys!

 

[CrazyPsycho]

What a shift

Solid strat from the Leafs to let McCabe shoot tho

Our D is consistently the worst at getting point shots thru

 

[joshjull]

Leafs defensive play in mid season form.

 

[Buffaloed]

I don't know what Krueger told them but I hope he recorded it.

 

[Zman5778]

For being down 2-0, I think we've mostly played really well. Yeah, the Matthews line has hemmed us in some....but against the rest of the lineup, I think it's been pretty darned even.

Not overly impressed with Joker tonight, but that's about the only blemish. Even Sobotka has looked passable.

 

[HaNotsri]

Warming up to Lazar on a 4th line or as the 13th forward.

I’m ok with him in the top 9 aslong as it keeps Elie, Sobotka, Okposo out...

[debaser66]

I am impressed

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Lol felt Borgen might be a bit frustrated on that one- McCabe shoots it into two blocks instead of passing to a primed Borgen, then when Jake does pass it's slightly off and Borgen can't get the one-timer. Borgen feeds McCabe a bit better and McCabe fans on it. It's one shift, doubt it's actually indicative of McCabe's play or anything, but it was kinda funny seeing Borgen raise his stick a third time like "please f***ing pass it this time."

First game where I could tell the players are playing for a spot in the line up (well, besides Lazar)

 

[joshjull]

Top 9? Yikes

 

[Hasekperreault23]

Very happy with game so far.Only complaint have is v and Kyle on PP.Both should be in Rochester this year if management is serious about winning.Would like to see more of Ruotsailanen, Couzens and Asplund.Joker needs time in Rochester Borgen looks good shame Fitz is out

 

[Ehran]

Really hope they can convince Roots to go to Rochester. He thinks the game really well and I could see him getting some NHL time this year once he adjusts to NA.

Is it up to him, though? I thought it was a decision for his team back in Sweden to decide?
