Post-Game Talk: Refs try their best to help the Sabres but it's not enough. Leafs win 5-3!

[Once]

Kadri would have gotten 4 games for that Okposo hit. Always feels good to beat Buffalo!

 

[rdogg]

The Leafs deserved the win and they got it. Hopefully this can spark them even more and keep on rolling!

 

[Teeder Keon]

Jack fell down and broke his crown

 

[Budz22]

What are we going to do with the 4th line?

 

[HamiltonNHL]

That big Muzzin hit changed momentum.

Agreed.

 

[JerseyMike34]

Best first 2 Periods of the season.

 

[MattySnipes]

Great game boys. This team is something else man. I really gotta give it to them. To be able to play an NHL team is tough already, to have the refs against you as well is just another level of adversity. Well f***ing done boys.

Matthews with 2 beauty goals. Team played a game man. Hope Dermott is okay. Okposo hit was terrible display of officiating.

JT being hooked 3 times in one shift is not called but a stick gets stuck in his glove and he gets a penalty.

35 minutes of pure domination in the first 40 minutes only results in 1 PP? Travesty I tell you.

Nevertheless. 2 huge points against divisional rival.

Next game Friday.

 

[Cynical]

Other than the refs, the Leafs absolutely dominated the Sabres. Ther needs to be an outside investigation into the league officiating. It's becoming pretty obvious that the NHL is trying to assist its American teams.

 

[Teeder Keon]

**** you, refs.
**** you, Hughson.... Just because.

Awesome

 

[TheKule]

Take it and run

Not even close to a stolen game imo. Leafs outplayed them by a large margin.

Refs tried, Eichel suicide

 

[DarkKnight]

Normally that third period would really concern me, but I still think this was a dominate performance and I didn’t mind our game in the third.

JT line was a force shift after shift.

Matthews was his nastiest, great game.

Goat best game of the year, not a fan but credit due.

That’s a winning formula tonight, we’re transitioning from the inevitable coaching uptick to a more instructive read.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Eichel is still a Leaf killer

 

[razkaz]

f*** those refs and f*** the Sabres

 

[meefer]

I usually keep myself out of the whole refs suck thing....but sometimes they earn it. They ****ing earned it tonight.

I try to do the same, but tonight the officiating was awful. The call on Tavares, the non-call when Dermott was drilled in the numbers...that's hard to play against.

 

[Beyonder91]

Good result, that empty net shot by Marner was pathetic tho.

Pathetic? Lol. He made sure to get past center and get the puck deep. How is that pathetic? It's smart.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Anyone notice the sabres d man try to hook soup with one hand on his little break and no delayed call?

 

[Teeder Keon]

Without a doubt

 

[Superstar]

Do folks still believe that there isn't bias officiating against the Leafs? It's been happening for a few years now since the team became good. 2-1 PP advantage for the Sabres despite the Leafs dominating the game for 50 minutes.

 

[BTP]

dominant 2 periods, foot off the gas in the 3rd.

timely ENG.

2 points.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Pretty much 5-0 without Johnsson.

 

[BayStBullies]

Pretty easy game. The Leafs dominated all game.
Phantom call on Tavares and missed (insert one of the 3-4 penalties here) with that hit on Dermott; gave the Sabres a glimpse of hope. Talent wins out.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

I yelled so loud at that penalty, the neighbors probably thought I was in a domestic.

 

[Advanced stats]

What are we going to do with the 4th line?

They were good?

 

[Teeder Keon]

The Leafs deserved the win and they got it. Hopefully this can spark them even more and keep on rolling!

100%

 

[Burnie97]

On to the Rangers, and Detroit.

Worst reffed game this year. Glad they came out with a regulation W.
