GDT: Sabres@Leafs 7PM TSN4

I think that's why we made the trade, they decided they need to give Moore a good look.

Yes, but I don't think Babcock would sign up to trade Lindholm.

He was going to take Leivo out of the lineup (who was our best 4th line player) for Lindholm because he plays pk and can play centre as well.

Muzzin looks good on the PK

I think that's why we made the trade, they decided they need to give Moore a good look. People think Babs wasn't in on the decision to move on from Lindholm?

Lindholm (UFA) move was asset management. Smart trade for Dubas.

Marners so good on the pk

 

[DarkKnight]

Marner, beautician.

"Alexa, play Hall and Oates."

 

[keonsbitterness]

Have we had a 5 on 3 this year?

Good question. Not recently anyway.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I love the post again.

 

[Loosie]

So many goal posts tonight on both sides.

 

[Leafblooded]

So much time for Eichel my goodness

 

[DarkKnight]

Yes, but I don't think Babcock would sign up to trade Lindholm.

True. Also true Dubas signed him.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Rielly having a rough game

 

[Canada4Gold]

Eichel hits the post but that play was offside anyway so didn't matter

 

[saffronleaf]

that was offside?

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Decent kill, even the 5-3 was almost enough.

 

[TMLeafer]

McCabe lost his edge and Matthews the puck on the same rut?

 

[sxvnert]

Sam Reinhart top 5 ugliest player in the league

 

[keonsbitterness]

We'd be up 7-2 if we tried that period.

 

[TimeZone]

....and went for a first last year, which wasn't because of his scoring.

I'm sorry, what? Cody Franson went for a first and a prospect as well. Since when is a massive overpayment at the deadline more indicative of how good a player is than what he contributes on the ice?

"Alexa, play Hall and Oates."

check out 'Alexa Jones' vid for a chuckle

 

[Sniper99]

Alright, nice to get out of there up 2 goals. Was worried that another late goal might come out of that.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Buffalo is so lucky they aren't being run out of the building. Leafs are so far ahead it's not even funny

 

[Northernguy10]

Eichel hits the post but that play was offside anyway so didn't matter

I saw that too...Looked way offside to me...

 

[saffronleaf]

woah did I just see Willy out there with Matty for a few brief seconds?

 

[glue]

So what happens when Kadri comes back, who sits? Moore I guess and Brown moves to the 4th line.

 

[DarkKnight]

Lindholm (UFA) move was asset management. Smart trade for Dubas.

I really think they decided Lindholm wasn't working out so they dumped him. Dubas was quite clear they wanted to give Moore a long look here, so this trade didn't happen in a vaccum.

 

[MSZ]

Did you forget Marner in first already?

He was the only bright spot, the rest of the guys are way too passive.
