GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Buffalo Sabres | 7:00pm est | Sportsnet One

[Daisy Jane]

Well, I don't think whatever happens will top this game:

​

but maybe we'll see.

Since the game is on the road, we'll probably get most of the bubble guys, Reimer and Bibeau. I don't know when the next pre-season game is (ie: is it back to back?) but we could see Phaneuf play again.

Sunday night. I don't think they play tomorrow.

Hopefully for once, we can win in the First Viagra Center. Our record there in our last 20 or so games is pathetic.

Try our record in the last 10 years there is pathetic.

We will be fine as long as we play hard.

Is there a good Leafs record anywhere over the past 10 years? ;-)

Be interesting to see the Sabres line-up.

Sabres have drafted 28 players in the past 3 seasons, 12 in the first 2 rounds. Over the same period of time the Leafs have draft 4 players in the first 2 rounds.

 

[SprDaVE]

Bozak and Clarkson should be able to play tonight. I'm looking forward to the 'motivated' Clarkson.

 

[The Podium]

I was at that game, it was honestly incredible

 

[Pholus]

We will be fine as long as we play hard.

I'm guessing these games are the reason Orr/McLaren weren't cut yesterday.

 

[RD]

Tv broadcast ?

Scott isn't in Buffalo though (Kaleta is though)

 

[RD]

Ok got it

 

[Cor]

Bernier, Kessel, Rielly, Franson, Ashton, Orr, McLaren , Santorelli and Gardiner didn't make the trip to Buffalo.

Booth, Kontiola, Robidas, Franson, Ashton, Orr, JVR, Kessel, Gardiner, Bernier, Rielly, and McLaren all taking part in Non-Game practice.

Safe to say these guys won't be playing tonight.

 

[SprDaVE]

Looks like we'll see Bozak and Clarkson tonight. And Lupul. I could see those 3 being a line.

So no Orr or McLaren. I really hope Carrick and Holland impresses.

Very telling for our forward group.

Take out those names and that leaves these 12 of these 18 playing... [Assuming Gauthier is still injured]

SPENCER ABBOTT F
TYLER BIGGS F
TROY BODIE F
TYLER BOZAK F
SAM CARRICK F
DAVID CLARKSON F
JAMIE DEVANE F
MATT FRATTIN F
PETER HOLLAND F
NAZEM KADRI F
LEO KOMAROV F
BRANDON KOZUN F
JOSH LEIVO F
JOFFREY LUPUL F
WILLIAM NYLANDER F
MIKE SANTORELLI F
TREVOR SMITH F
DANIEL WINNIK F

If I had to guess who is sitting, over the last 3 games (excluding game in London) number of games played....

W. Nylander 2
T. Smith 2
M. Santorelli 2
B. Kozun 2
T. Bodie 1
S. Carrick 1
S. Abbott 1
P. Kontiola 1
P. Holland 1
N. Kadri 1
M. Frattin 1
L. Komarov 1
J. Lupul 1
J. Leivo 1
J. Devane 1
D. Winnik 1
+ Bozak, Clarkson 0

So I guess the guys who've only played one game the last 4 days will get in.

Abbott - Kadri - Frattin
Leivo - Holland - Komarov
Lupul - Bozak - Clarkson
Winnik - Carrick - Devane


With the wings moving around as the game goes.

If I'm right Mess has to give me a cookie.

Ya, the Leafs always seem a little limp and lifeless when they play in Buffalo.

 

[Lifeisnice]

No but this is close:

Orr taking down the giant Scott was amazing. I hope he finds a way to stay on as our 13th forward. Use him in games where we know there will be a brawl/goons for morale

I'm guessing you meant Abbott to be on one of those spots instead of Leivo twice? (because Abbott also has only 1 game according to the list)

Those lines look good. Would be interesting to see if Kadri and Frattin maintain chemistry, and Lupul - Bozak - Clarkson could be a possible #2 if we ever get a top line of JVR - Kadri - Kessel. I will be watching to see how Clarkson looks, granted it's just pre-season and he is just coming off injury.

If you want a cookie you may want to Ninja edit Leivo out of one of the two lines he is playing.
