Post-Game Talk (GBU): Toronto Maple Leafs at Buffalo Sabres 7:00PM ET 2/16/2020

[GOALOFSSON]

Listening to Kreuger, I forgot we were robbed of a legit goal. Damn those refs giving us the win.

 

[joshjull]

One of the few nights that account can have some fun.

 

[Chainshot]

Wait, so the complaint is that the refs were in Buffalo’s favor? Reeeeally.

Leafs fans can’t figure out how a team that was being outshot 35-17 at the time had no power plays to our three.

One of life’s great mysteries

The price of salt is plummeting! Stock up while it's cheap.

Well they had changed momentum or something, because the Leafs came out swinging at the start of the third. I mean I saw a lot of uncalled penalties on both teams, the ones that were called were fairly egregious. Hooking on the play in front of the net taking away a scoring chance with all cameras focused on the play, and tripping on the puck carrier. They let everything go away from the action for both teams, only called penalties when they happened within feet of the puck.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

I didnt think the Sabres could make me this happy this season

Poor Gabe.

 

[Ehran]

I really just wish the Sabres had played this hard / well much more often this season. It could have been so much different if they had.....

 

[K8fool]

Maybe we can trade for Jimmy Howard

Maybe fujb must trade something niw.. Hutton has played well to spite bitts. .so did sheary and vesey.. Ok.. Best goal all year..

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Box score Maple Leafs vs. Sabres - Box Score - February 16, 2020 - ESPN
Lazar dominated on faceoffs 14W, 4L
You know you have problems on D when Justin Holl plays the most minutes.

I’m collecting the tears of leaf fans, there is plenty to go around.

 

[flashsabre]

Who is that number 13 guy? Looked fantastic tonight

Right before Eichel's goal in the 3rd the Leafs had about the most obvious too many men on the ice that the refs let go. It should have been a 5-3 pp.

Hah. What is this a drinking game I’m assuming?

 

[DatGuy]

What a fantastic game. Boring first, solid second, and a dominant third without allowing the Leafs to come back into the game late.

Matthews would be a such a complete player if he played with an edge. Watching him is frustrating. The guy is so strong, yet allows someone like Larsson to nut check him after the whistle with nothing more than a dirty look.

If we wanted to he could be Jamie Benn in his prime. Just a nightmare to play against.

 

[darcyRegier]

Sabres had 20(!!) high danger chances tonight...wow

 

[lauraP]

leafs looked so out of sync, the puck of go by 3 leaf players and it was almost like all 3 players thought the other player would take the puck, lol what a circus show.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Toronto fans, hah. All I need to say on that.

 

[BuffaloGooner]

Spending the night at Russell’s with the wife. When we got out of dinner I saw the 5-2 score and said holy shit, Russ freakin Salvatore looks at me and goes isn’t it beautiful?

In the words of the late, great, Jackie Gleason, "How Sweet It IS!".

Even sportsnet called them out for that saying Leafs got away with one there. The problem is Leafs under Babcock played the "they cant call everything" game, just like Tampa does. Once the calls start piling up refs put whistles away, so just obstruct slash and hold all you want. I'm not one to defend refs, they are bad more often than not, but in this game you saw what was happening. As long as you did your dirt away from the puck they let it go, Sabres took advantage, Leafs did too, it's just that the Leafs also decided to make dumb plays on the puck carrier.

Mmmmmmmm. The salt is delicious.

That guy is soooo annoying. Such an idiot
