GDT: Preseason Game #6 | Toronto Maple Leafs @ Buffalo Sabres

[oldfan2010]

Vets playing like cr:p. New era. Dump who you can.

 

[SprDaVE]

They seriously have Clune a penalty for getting decked after taking the shot?

Babcock wants to practice the PK, that's all.

 

[King85Kong]

We don't need to use +/- if you prefer we could use ice time.

Based on that, Boyes, Matthias and Bozak are earning Babcock's trust as forwards in this game tonight.

JVR demoted to 2C.

LOL demoted to 2c.
Bozak was demoted to a lower line without JVR.
Everyone not named Nylander or Brown have looked bad tonight.

The old core that's been in place since 2012 and prior are simply dogs. They're deficient in ability, work ethic, blue collar mentality, composure under pressure, you name it. That's how you get people like them through trade. You know what you get with them and one of the more pleasurable things to look forward to is if and when they get shipped out of town.

I know. I hope Lou does it soon. These people are seriously overdraft with Daisy's Bank of Good Will. Their credit is no longer good with me.

Gardiner, Rielly and Marincin haven't had good games tonight. Harrington has been fine, so has Phaneuf. Hunwick has been good.

On forward I've liked Brown a lot. Nylander has been dynamic, snake-bitten and a bit spotty defensively. Still haven't seen anything 5-on-5 to like from Grabner, really.

Neither goaltender look hot.

agreed .

I've said before Clarkson didnt deserve the time we gave him. However, I'm not going to say I was wrong for trying to give a player some time to possibly bounce back. Once it was fully clear that wasn't going to happen, both me and Daisy gave up, and joined the bash fest.

right . exactly.

At least the PK has been great?????

yeah. that's good

I can't wait till this team has shipped off Bozak, Lupul and Phaneuf.

meeee either.
it would be the best present .

 

[Leafidelity]

Brown's gonna be a good one. Very impressed with him. Even more encouraging that he has some nice chemistry with Nylander.

It's only a slight exaggeration to say that Nathan Horton is having a better night than Tyler Bozak.

 

[Wendelstache]

you're right , at least this year we have the draft to discuss and look forward too

trading the two firsts and then finishing 2nd and 9th last was more painful than anything we're going to witness this year

How about trading a 1st pick that could be Eric Lindros ...
Traded prospects for vertans, so that pick doesn't become Eric Lindros ...
That = Scott Niedermeyer.

Bring the pain because we've experienced death on too many occasions.

Another game, another loss. Thats how you get good odds for top draft picks. Would actually hurt if they win with all the pending UFAs.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Nice to know we can start fighting about Bozak and Kadri in the bloody preseason..

 

[Pookie]

LOL demoted to 2c.
Bozak was demoted to a lower line without JVR.

Funny then that Bozak is earning the most minutes of any forward along with Matthias and Boyes.

Aren't we 3-3 in pre-season? You make it sound like we haven't won?

So how do you send your best player down to the minors?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

So how do you send your best player down to the minors?

Because you want to lose?

We will probably have a worse defense then we had last year. Possibly the worse team in the league from what im seeing. Matthais is the best player on the ice. Also think we just waisted a second round pick on Marincin. I think Babcock is realizing just how 1 dimensional players like Bozak, Lupol and JVR are....

4th round pick for Marincin.

 

[Cor]

Gonna be depressing when Nylander gets cut and Bozak gets his usual 1C spot beside JVR.

Why not see what Nylander can do beside JVR, and not I DUNNO, RICHARD CLUNE

Somebody has to get the minutes on this dumpster fire of a team

Quote of the night. I guffawed out loud (GOL).

 

[King85Kong]

Yes Bozak with Matthias and Boyes is a first line
Pretty much everyone tonight is having a bad night...Including both Bozak and Kadri. Its okay to say that.

 

[Daisy Jane]

seriously. can't we just waive Bozak?

 

[mallory67]

Because you want to lose?

Again, we should have tanked last year ... by trading Kessel early.
Now we should play Willie.

 

[Stephen]

Did anyone see the look on Babcock's face?

 

[orbiter11]

4th round pick for Marincin.

I guess thats a bit better.

 

[mcleex]

Dat Babcock stare

 

[Budsfan]

seriously. can't we just waive Bozak?

He'll just wave back.
